NTU hosts landmark conference on contemporary literature and the arts
Date:6/23/2011

The latest works by some of Singapore's leading writers and poets and their international peers will come under the spotlight at The Contemporary, an international conference of literature and the arts, organised by the Nanyang Technological University (NTU).

Presented by the University's Division of English and the Centre for Liberal Arts and Social Sciences (CLASS) programme, The Contemporary conference will feature prominent local writers and poets, such as Suchen Christine Lim, Ng Yi-Sheng and Sim Wai Chew, who will be reading their new work at a special session on Friday June 24 evening.

More than 100 writers, arts and education policy-makers, academics and students from around the world are expected to converge at NTU's School of Humanities and Social Sciences for The Contemporary conference over three days, from June 24 to 26.

Associate Professor Cornelius Murphy, Associate Dean (Undergraduate Studies) at NTU's College of Humanities, Arts, & Social Sciences, and Head of the Division of English, says, "This conference marks a milestone in the history of Singapore's literary arts, as it is one of the biggest literature conferences to be held here in recent years, with participants from over 40 countries."

"The conference also complements NTU's efforts to make our mark internationally and promote research excellence in humanities and the arts, by bringing together the best of East and West," Associate Professor Murphy adds. Under the NTU 2015 strategic blueprint unveiled last year, the University aims to make its global stamp in five key areas the best of East and West, sustainability, healthcare, new media, and innovation.

The conference, supported by the Embassies of Ireland and the United States of America, will see presenters address a variety of topics, ranging from contemporary drama, the secular and spiritual in contemporary fiction, science, trans-nationalism and travel.
