Celebrating the release of the "What Sustains Us" the 2011 edition of the nomad JournalThe Comparative Literature department's nomad Mentorship Program offers a remarkable opportunity for undergraduates from all Majors and at every stage in their studies to gain one-on-one guidance in developing advanced research skills in the literary humanities. Every school year the Mentorship Program models those skills via a speaker series organized around a designated research theme. Visiting artists and scholars, UO faculty and grad students share their art and their research over the course of the year. At the same time, undergraduate participants in the program work one-on-one with faculty and grad-student mentors to hone their research. The end result is the Comparative Literature journal of undergraduate writing, nomad. This year's research theme is: "Secret."
