E3W Literature | University of Texas

Sequels, an annual symposium sponsored by the Ethnic and Third World Literatures graduate specialization in the Department of English at The University of Texas at Austin, hosts distinguished e3w graduates and honors their recently published books. The symposium is convened each year in the spring semester and includes a roundtable discussion with the featured alumni on their books, a keynote address from these alumni on their new work in progress, and panel discussions by current graduate students on topics raised by the books. In addition, an event is held before the conference to circulate ideas about the visiting scholars' work.
