Brandeis Novel Symposium
Welcome to the Brandeis Novel Symposium. Each year, this one-day conference chooses a single novel as a point of focus for salient theoretical, historical, political, and narratological questions about the novel as a genre.
This year's Brandeis Novel Symposium will be held on Friday, October 23, 2026. Our featured text will be Han Kang's Human Acts (2014).
The Brandeis Novel Symposium is free and open to the public. Registration will open later this summer.
