美國加州大學河岸校區比較文學博士獎學金

2008-09學年，美國加州大學河岸校區比較文學系美籍留法教授Michelle Bloom應邀至劉光能老師的電影課上演講，之後對中大法文系念念不忘。近日再度寄來該校2010-11學年比較文學博士獎學金的消息，特別歡迎有意前往深造的系友踴躍申請。

I"m Grad Recruitment Advisor in our dept this year, so wanted to ask you to refer any strong undergrads finishing up this year and on their way to grad programs... or MA students (we offer only PhD, no terminal MA). Despite the admittedly horrible economic situation in CA now and in the UC system (pay cuts!!), our grad program has been thriving the past few years - we"ve got really amazing students these days and wonderful new (as well as longstanding) senior and jr faculty. And ours is a good program for students interested in "East/West Studies," science fiction,film studies,  women"s studies and gender issues, etc.

Dear Prospective Graduate Applicant,

We are writing to let you know about the unique and progressive graduate opportunities offered by the Department of Comparative Literature and Foreign Languages at the University of California, Riverside. Located on the Pacific Rim, in one of the most vibrantly diverse and international regions of the United States, we offer innovative programs in both interliterary and interdisciplinary studies, as well as a new track in science fiction studies.

The University of California, Riverside, situated in the greater Los Angeles area, is a major research university in the University of California system. The majority of our graduate students receive fellowships, T.A.-ships, and other forms of financial support, and our students come from around the world. Among the literatures students may work in are Chinese, English, French, German, Classical Greek, Italian, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Latin, Filipino, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and Vietnamese.

The faculty of the Department of Comparative Literature and Foreign Languages are widely-known for their work in East-West comparative studies, and for a newly established PhD track in Science Fiction Studies. We offer a robust and balanced comparative Asian and European literature, culture, and theory program, which includes concentrations in gender and feminist studies, postcolonial studies, global cultures, critical theory, science and science fiction studies, comparative ancient studies, and cultural studies.  (For faculty bio-bibliographies, see

The library facilities of the University of California system are outstanding, and the Special Collections of UCR’s Rivera Library includes the world-famous Eaton Collection of Science Fiction and Fantasy. Downtown Riverside is the home of the California Museum of Photography. UC Irvine, UC San Diego and UC Los Angeles courses and libraries offer UC Riverside students further access to cutting-edge faculty and research resources.

The campus, located an hour east of Los Angeles, is in a region featuring mountains, hot springs, wineries, beaches, and the spectacular natural reserves of Joshua Tree and Anza Borego National Parks, as well as the cultural riches of metropolitan Los Angeles itself, within easy driving distance.
