The Modern and Contemporary fortnightly workshop (Mod Con) is a well-attended workshop for PhD students and staff from all CUSO universities. The workshop is popular among doctoral students and early career scholars from the CUSO network. The workshop is a valuable space for the exchange of ideas between doctoral students working on modern and contemporary literatures of the English-speaking world. The 2026 programme will include talks, workshops and professionalisation seminars and it will remain an important space for work-in-progress papers from doctoral students.

Guest lecture by Hye-Joon Yoon (Department of English and Graduate Programme in Comparative Studies, Yonsei University).

This lecture is given in the context of a joint project between UNIGE and Yonsei University which explores the topic of ‘Poetry, Creativity and Close Reading in the Transnational Digital Age’.
