After initial sessions in Beijing (2011) and Istanbul (2012), the IWL returned to its headquarters at Harvard this past summer for four weeks of seminars, guest lectures, and working group meetings. Under the direction of David Damrosch, and with support from the Faculty of Arts & Sciences and with an Advisory Board of 24 distinguished faculty members located at Harvard and around the world, the IWL works in partnership with five dozen affiliates to bring together a growing number of participants from around the world.
