Reading Group

The LCE Reading Group meets regularly to discuss recent contributions to cognitive literary study, new developments in psychology and philosophy, and their relationship to the theory and practice of literary study.

We welcome new participants. If you are a researcher at postdoctoral level or working towards a doctorate, please contact Stefka G. Eriksen to join the reading group.
