IRS990/Desc0In its largest sense, comparative literature promotes the study of intercultural relations that cross national boundaries, multicultural relations within a particular society, and the interactions between literature and other forms of human activity, including the Arts, the Sciences, Philosophy, and cultural artifacts of all kinds.The members of the ACLA are joined not by a national linguistic, or methodological investment held in common, but by the shared condition of teaching and writing across nations, languages, and cultures - and hence by their lively interest in comparison as both theoretical and practical matters.The ACLA is affiliated with the American Council of Learned Societies, the Association of Departments and Programs of Comparative Literature, the International Comparative Literature Association, the Modern Language Association, and the National Humanities Alliance.To promote the ideals of the ACLA, its 2021 annual meeting, attended by more than 2,200 members, was held virtually April 8th through April 11th. Conference fees were cut in half to encourage participation and numerous fee waivers were given. The conference included over 200 seminars and a variety of special events including plenary panels on "Geopolitics of Comparison: World Literatrure avant la lettreX and "Virtual Roundtable on Ethics of Graduate Advising". The event required significant volunteer time from the conference organizers and presenters. Conference expenses were $88,531.
