COMMA is the Center on Modern Culture, Materialism, and Aesthetics. Operating out of the English Department at the University of California, Santa Barbara, this center considers 20th and 21st century literature through the lens of materialist and critical theory. Our methodologies and theoretical interests are diverse, including: the intersection of Marxist and new materialism, feminist and queer studies, postcolonial theory, ecocriticism, affect studies, and biopolitics. Each year we sponsor conferences, guest speakers, and a reading group that brings together faculty, graduates, and undergrads. We also offer an undergraduate specialization through the English major at UCSB. You can read more about us here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>
