par SB27 août 2019
Lots of work, only 3 short papers, but lots of reading. Very interesting and enjoyable. Really went into depth with lots of history and literature discussed. Informative lectures.
par RK8 nov. 2015
I want to say how much I especially enjoyed Dr Kenez and his very clear and concise lectures on the historical aspects of the subject matter. Thank you very much. Richard Kilgore
par BB5 nov. 2015
The presentations raise vital questions , dis-aggregates historical experience and has generated interest in me to study the issues further . Many thanks to the Professors.
par JB4 mars 2017
Took this course for job purposes. It is great for everyone, although I believe that people with some background in comparative literature will benefit from it the most,
