Special Episode 2: The Undergraduate Program

During the 2024-25 academic year, the Department of Comparative Literature at Harvard celebrated its departmental anniversary—and Paraphrasis is launching a series of summer special episodes to commemorate the occasion. In the second edition of the series, guest host Jess Jensen Mitchell sits down with two alumnae of the college, Professors Moira Weigel of Harvard University, and Pelin Kivrak of Emerson College. Together, they reflect on their career trajectories after Harvard, their memories of undergraduate life, and their ongoing roles as educators and mentors.
