About this special issue
This issue derives from presentations and conversations at Louisiana State University's 7th Annual Languages and Literatures Conference, hosted together by the graduate programs in Comparative Literature and French and Francophone Studies, which took place in March of 2023. Over sixty scholars from regions around the globe joined to discuss "Conflict" in a wide array of literary, linguistic, and historical contexts.
