INTERDISCIPLINARY ENDEAVORS IN THE DLLC

Visual representation of digital network connections

​​​​​

Making connections between and across different fields of inquiry has become increasingly important in order to thrive in today’s interconnected world. The study of world languages and their literatures and cultures is by its very nature interdisciplinary, and the DLLC is engaged in many interdisciplinary endeavors, including several minors being offered in conjunction with other programs, as well as a broad range of scholarship being carried out by our faculty and graduate students across such diverse fields as healthcare, business, economics, linguistics, anthropology, film studies, game studies, art history, and neuroscience, to name just a few.
