Internationally renowned for leadership in the field of continental literary theory, Comparative Literature at UCI today is a place of openness and risk—a spacious department, good for thinking, collectivity, and contestation. Our current interests include the possibilities for engaging in politics broadly speaking, for rethinking the present and unmapping a world that seems to be already mapped through disciplinary structures such as area studies, and for interanimating scholarship, teaching, and activism. Faculty, graduate students, and undergraduates work together in our department to push vocabularies, to create new conceptual frames of reference, and to construct different genealogies. Psychoanalysis, phenomenology, subaltern studies, feminism and queer studies, materialism, critical race theory, de/post/neo/and X-coloniality, globalectics: these are a few of the analytic frames that inform our work. Translation broadly applied enables us to make moves: across languages, media, geographic borders, and political visions. While various faculty work with site-specific literatures and film--from Argentina and other Latin American nations, China and Hong Kong, Europe, Iran, Japan, Kenya, the U.S., and other locations--we don't offer these materials as geopolitically fixed archives. Rather, we place cultural practices within dynamic global exchanges, both historical and contemporary. Through courses, conferences, collaborative projects, and digital media, Comparative Literature at UCI advances critical cosmopolitanism—a kind of worldliness cultivated by creative engagements with power, peoples, and their symbolic practices. We invite you to explore our projects and programs, and hope you will find ways to join us in our ventures.

Since its inception in 1975 as the center of feminist scholarship and teaching at UC Irvine, the Department of Gender & Sexuality Studies has been dedicated to the interdisciplinary study of gender and sexuality in their complex articulations with race, ethnicity, religion, nationality, and socio-economic class. The Department draws critical attention to "gender" and "sexuality" as concept-terms that necessarily invoke multiple systems of oppression, inequality and privilege, and which engender various forms of embodiment, desire, subjectivity, knowledge and politics. We look at masculinities and femininities not as natural, pre-given facts lodged in a clear-cut binary system of biological difference, but as products of specific cultural, political and economic processes.

All provide interested students with additional research communities and opportunities. Students have taken courses with faculty in these programs and from faculty with related interests in other social science fields, including anthropology and political science.

By design and disposition, our faculty is committed to working collaboratively with graduate students. Our graduate program is constructed to help students move from being consumers of research to being producers of important, and published, work. In addition to numerous opportunities for collaboration with faculty members, students must, by the end of their second year, produce independent research targeted for journal publication. Students who take advantage of these opportunities have good success in finding professional employment. Recent graduates have accepted tenure-track positions at both small colleges and major research universities, including University of California-Los Angeles, Tulane University, the University of Washington, the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, and the University of California-Riverside. Current graduate students have won external research funding and published a wide array of journal articles and book chapters. Given the department's ongoing growth and enhanced national visibility, we are confident our students will continue to do well on the job market.

Master of English Program
The Department of English at the University of California, Irvine offers a Master of English program that allows students to pursue their interest in literary and cultural study. Many of our students are teachers themselves, especially at the junior high and high school level; we also welcome mature students who wish to strengthen their command of literature and hone their skills in critical analysis and communication. The degree will be of value to those seeking to extend their knowledge and develop their professional expertise; those seeking preparation to enter the teaching profession (including at the community college level); and to those seeking training in critical thinking and communication skills, whether for application in professions other than teaching, as preparation for further graduate studies in the field, or simply out of intellectual curiosity.

The program's curriculum reflects UC Irvine's strengths in literary history and criticism, composition and rhetoric, and literary journalism. Master of English students work closely with the same faculty who teach in our nationally ranked English Ph.D. program, take seminars dedicated exclusively to them, and receive the same MA degree as the department's full-time graduate students, with the exception that foreign language proficiency is not required for the terminal degree.

We assume that many students in the program will have full-time employment, and the program is thus optimally designed for part-time enrollment. Approximately 20 students are admitted each year. The limited enrollment is intended to ensure small classes and accessible faculty - the essential conditions for intensive literary study.
