Northwestern’s CLS PhD fosters scholars who analyze texts flowing across linguistic, colonial, and digital borders. Students design triple-language fields, interrogate climate fiction through eco-criticism, and mine fan-fiction archives with stylometry. Joint seminars with African American Studies, Asian American Studies, and Digital Humanities expand methodological horizons.
