London Intercollegiate Network for Comparative Studies (LINKS)
Description
The London Intercollegiate Network for Comparative Studies (LINKS) was founded in 2009 and grew out of collaboration between the Comparative Literature departments at King's College London and UCL. It aims to promote dialogue and to encourage cooperation between London institutions involved in Comparative Literary Studies. Since 2010, the network has expanded to include the Comparative Literature departments of Goldsmiths, University of London, Queen Mary University of London, and SOAS. It focuses on facilitating knowledge exchange at MA level, and reports conferences aimed specifically at MA students (the first held in June 2010 and the second in May 2011), research training workshops and London-wide research seminars. In June 2025 the network co-organised a colloquium on comparative literature and the environmental humanities at the Warburg Institute, with the British Comparative Literature Association and the Institute of Languages, Cultures and Societies.
