Why Berkeley’s Comparative Literature PhDs Have the Best Dissertations

Every year, the American Comparative Literature Association (ACLA) accepts nominations for the best dissertation in Comparative Literature in the country and bestows the winner with the Bernheimer Prize. Berkeley’s Department of Comparative Literature has produced the winner for the past 7 years in a row and 10 of the winners over the past 13 years. I spoke with two winners of the prize,  Ramsey McGlazer  (2016 winner) and  Katie Kadue  (2018 winner), to learn about what made their dissertations stand out and what unique aspects of Berkeley’s Department of Comparative Literature helps graduate students regularly produce the best dissertations in the country. 

McGlazer (PhD 2015) is currently a lecturer in the Italian Department at Berkeley and was a co-winner for his dissertation “Old Schools: Modernism, Pedagogy, and the Critique of Progress.” In the work, he re-examines practices and principles, particularly in education, that have been lost in the march of intellectual progression and explores how they might work or be modified to fit into a modernist approach. What made his dissertation standout was the counter-intuitive argument he puts forth not for the sake of shocking people, but to present a truly different approach to viewing out-dated form of thought.

Kadue (PhD 2017), currently a Harper-Schmidt Fellow in the Society of Fellows and Collegiate Assistant Professor in the Humanities at the University of Chicago, wrote a dissertation entitled “Domestic Georgic from Rabelais to Milton,” which explores mundane domestic labor within intellectual and poetic spheres of a wide variety of early modern English and French literature. She believes her dissertation stood out in particular for its connection to intellectual labor. In the process of seeking to develop a breakthrough or a new literary theory, academics can sometimes lose sight of all that keeps a university functioning, and Kadue sheds new light on the intersection of rustic labor and intellectualism. 

McGlazer and Kadue had different takes on what aspects of Berkeley’s Department of Comparative Literature made the difference in developing their dissertations. For McGlazer, the structure of the program and approach to the discipline sets the department apart. PhD students at Berkeley take their qualifying exams later than at most universities, which means they complete more coursework. This additional coursework exposed McGlazer to fields beyond his speciality and allowed him to engage with works and perspectives he might not have otherwise. The department also places great emphasis on close reading in multiple languages, a key aspect of comparative literature that has fallen out of favor at many other universities. 

For Kadue, the faculty made a tremendous difference. They assisted her with writing the dissertation she wanted to write, not the dissertation they desired or thought the field would want. There was also a lot of flexibility to change ideas or play with new ones. One professor in the department likened the dissertation to a fantasy or mystery novel, as a process that grows and morphs and may lead one down unexpected paths. The support of the professors and their openness with developing the dissertation relieved a lot of pressure and made the process more exciting. McGlazer also considers the faculty to be a major part of what makes the department so successful. He views faculty members as intellectual role models. One of the members of his dissertation committee, Judith Butler, continues to be a guiding light for him at Berkeley. He was also grateful to have worked with professors from many fields as, like the coursework he was required to take outside of his specialty, the interactions exposed him to many new perspectives. 

The professors are not the only ones supporting the students, however. Kadue said one of the greatest honors of winning the award was being ranked with all the other Berkeley students who have won, especially McGlazer. Kadue and McGlazer were close friends during their time together in the Department of Comparative Literature, exchanging work and sharing ideas through the whole process, and both are very happy to have won the same award. 

As great an honor as the award is, however, it does not exempt the winners from the challenges of the academic job market. Kadue, who completed her PhD almost a year and a half ago, is enjoying a four-year fellowship and hopes that the award will help her as she begins applying to jobs again this year. McGlazer, who has been out of graduate school for several years, is still seeking that coveted tenure-track position in an intensely fierce job market. McGlazer expressed frustration that the field of comparative literature bestows graduates with accolades such these and then fails to offer sufficient positions for people to continue the work for which they were praised. New doctoral graduates from all fields, but especially those in the humanities, face some of the toughest job competition for any profession. Universities must do more to ensure that their graduates have a place to continue the work they started as graduate students. But the prize did help McGlazer form a valuable connection with a judge on the committee who brought his dissertation to the publishers. It will be released in book form in 2019 under the title “After School: Modernism, Pedagogy, and the Critique of Progress.” 

Winning the Bernheimer Prize is a tremendous accomplishment and the many students who have won show what amazing work the Department of Comparative Literature at Berkeley puts forth.

Comparative Literature

An overview of the discipline.

Comparative Literature emerged as an academic discipline in the wake of World War II, when many European immigrants moved to the United States. This mixing of cultures fostered a spirit of cosmopolitism in the wake of international disasters resulting from nationalism turned violent. Literary studies, cultural studies, and language studies combine in this multifaceted discipline, which examines both the texts themselves and the relationship between what is written and the context and culture in which it was written. The discipline often involves studying multilingual authors who publish texts in more than one language.

Writing in the Discipline

As a literary discipline (also see English) the reasoning in Comparative Literature tends to be justificatory, with explanatory reasoning used in the service of the larger goal to justify a particular interpretation or position. However, in this and other literary fields, argument generally proceeds by example (quotation and analysis) rather than, as in the social and natural sciences, by reasons and evidence.

Evidence in Comparative Literature is text-based direct quotation. Close reading is an essential skill. Professor Rita Barnard explained that “engagement with the text” is a vital part of identifying evidence. However, students must beware complete dependence on the text itself, for historical and cultural contexts are also typically important in writing about a literary text. Some Comparative Literature faculty may require that students include quotations in the language in which the text was originally written, as they may otherwise lose meaning in translation. This does not mean that you have to read pieces in languages other than English in a Comparative Literature course; it just means that professors may prefer to see the quotation in the original rather than translated version.

While typical assignments for undergraduates will be single-authored, in the scholarly world of Comparative Literature one increasingly finds collaborative authorship. While single-author scholarly articles and books still prevail, collaboration has become more prevalent in recent years. Authors may collaborate in the research or writing of a book or article.

Writing Tips

Both Professor Barnard and Professor Rabaté stress the importance of accruing a significant amount of information directly from the text before beginning to write. Students may wish to create a list of quotes they may want to use, or at the very least bookmark places in the text that may come in handy. Deciding on a structure that fits the argument is almost as important as deciding on the argument itself, so students will want to have a solid plan for the structure of the piece before they begin. As writing in Comparative Literature can be very personal or very subjective, students may wish to leave enough time to think through their ideas fully and be able to develop strong opinions before they begin the actual writing process.

Common Errors

Your thesis should be original! Professors of Comparative Literature often find a major issue in students' writing to be that the main idea of a paper has already been discussed in great detail somewhere else.

Professor Rabaté said that the most common error he finds in students' papers is simply that students are often too ambitious in their topics, choosing themes for their writing that are too broad to be useful. He finds that students are more successful once they learn to trust themselves to be able to write an engaging piece on a more specific topic.

Professor Barnard has found that common student errors are often more related to the writing than to the reasoning. She explained that students need to learn that writing longer, more developed paragraphs, and observes that students often have an idea of a paragraph that is very visual – it must look short and neat and fit well on a computer page – that does not fit writing in Comparative Literature. She also warns students not to have "throwaway" paragraphs that do not add anything to the piece.

Finally, Professor Barnard notes that a thesis statement in Comparative Literature may be several sentences long, rather than one succinct statement.

Student Assignments

Undergraduate assignments are typically analytical, examining the themes, symbols, or ideas evinced in a particular text through a specific interpretive framework often provided by the professor. You may also encounter some creative pieces, such as rewriting a story emulating the style and technique of a particular author.

Professional Writing

Scholars in Comparative Literature typically write peer-reviewed journal articles and monographs. They may write essays to be published in a collection with other scholars. You may also find that these scholars write novels, biographies, and even comics.

Additional Resources

Helpful books for academic writing, meet the professors.

Professor Barnard considers herself a "political formalist," in that she seeks to connect the literary and cultural with the social. More...

Subject Guide

The Purdue University Libraries collects, preserves, and provides access to dissertations as original works of scholarship in conjunction with doctorates awarded by the University. Other pertinent student works such as master's and honors theses may also be collected.

What is the difference between a thesis and a dissertation?

At Purdue, “thesis” typically refers to a Master’s program and “dissertation” refers to the Ph.D program. In the early years a thesis was written in many undergraduate programs (i.e B.S. in Engineering).

How can I find dissertations that were written at Purdue?

The Purdue Libraries holds one copy of each title from 1882 to present. In some cases these have been marked confidential or have restrictions in place for a limited period of time. The original paper copies do not circulate and must be viewed in Archives and Special Collections. These can be requested through the Libraries catalog . Please log in to request your item. When the request is received, it is pulled from the storage Repository and delivered to be viewed in the Archives and Special Collections Research Center on the 4 th floor of the Humanities and Social Sciences Library (HSSE). This is located in Stewart Center, 504 W. State Street, West Lafayette, IN 47907. You will receive a confirmation email when the item is ready along with directions to the Archives.

More information:

The first Thesis is available to be viewed in Archives and Special Collections . Early Purdue University Theses and Dissertations (starting in 1882 and scanned up to 1906 so far) have been scanned and are available online. Open access copies are available online through the Theses and Dissertations, Purdue e-Puds (including some copies from ProQuest). Copies available for loan: Some of the theses and dissertations have been microfilmed and can be requested for off campus use through Interlibrary Loan (ILL) . Also, some paper duplicates will show up in the catalog, please request the copy that does not say “Only viewable in the Archives.” Alumni can request an electronic copy of their theses or dissertation from the past by contacting [email protected].  If you have questions about depositing your thesis or dissertation, please contact the graduate school Thesis and Dissertation Office . 

How can I find theses or dissertations from U.S. institutions?

Go to Dissertations and Theses (PQDT) . It offers a comprehensive listing of bibliographic entries for theses and dissertations in the Dissertation Abstracts database. Theses and dissertations listed since 1997 are available in PDF digital format for users affiliated with Purdue University with access to theses and dissertations from CIC institutions. For those entries not full-text, 24-page previews are available. For non full-text entries and possible borrowing of non-Purdue titles, consult Interlibrary Loan .

How can I find dissertations that are free?

Recognizing the Biases in Academic Scholarship

In order to critically engage with scholarly discourse, researchers need to be aware of the inherent problems within the system of academic scholarship. Those problems could be anything from standards set by white hegemonic systems to subject terms with implicit biases. By acknowledging these inherent problems, all scholars can participate in improving the academic and public discourse.

University of Aberdeen

Degree level: undergraduate, comparative literature and culture, course options, course summary.

Gain a global and comparative outlook to understanding a range of cultures, societies, and places across the world, through the study of literary and cultural works. Comparative Literature & Culture at Aberdeen offers an exciting opportunity to study literature and culture within a global context. We deliver a broad programme exploring the history, culture, and society of countries in Europe, Latin-America, the English-speaking world and beyond through literary and cultural works. You will explore literary texts from different countries in English, allowing you to gain a broader and deeper understanding of our interconnected world while making connections across historical, political, cultural, and social contexts. You will also expand your understanding of local and global relationships, enabling you to apply linguistic and cultural awareness when working with others. The comparative approach allows you to study literature and culture across traditional disciplinary boundaries, drawing on methodologies based in disciplines across the humanities and social sciences, including social and cultural studies, textual and translation studies, studies of film, visual and material culture, anthropology, history, gender studies and environmental humanities, amongst others. You will learn from experts in literature, culture, politics, and society of regions globally in-depth to appreciate different perspectives. Whether you're a beginner or an advanced learner, you can build your competency in Spanish, French, German, Arabic, Swedish or Mandarin and decide if you want to pursue a joint or combined honours degree with a language to develop your language skills.

View all modules on the programme page to find out more about what you will be studying and when. University of Aberdeen modules are designed to give you breadth and depth to your degree. The range of modules you study will allow you to become proficient in all subjects which are directly relevant to your degree giving you greater career options.

Assessment method

The use of various forms of assessment and learning environments facilitates the development of generic transferable skills enhancing student employability. Students are assessed by any combination of three assessment methods: coursework such as essays and reports completed throughout the course; practical assessments of the skills and competencies they learn on the course; and written examinations at the end of each course. The exact mix of these methods differs between subject areas, years of study and individual courses. Honours projects are typically assessed on the basis of a written dissertation.
