CHIA PEI YUN (CLASS OF 2017)

The study of Literature has taught me that other people exist, and that people’s experiences matter, even the fictional ones. Other people live and breathe and love and laugh and grieve–and they die, as one day we will die.

ISA HO (CLASS OF 2017)

Literature was a natural step for me in a trajectory that has its root in my childhood love for reading and writing. Literature enabled me to dip my toes in literary traditions through classes like Dystopian Fiction or Ancient Epic and Gangster Film.

CARMEN DENIA (CLASS OF 2017)

At Yale Divinity School, I applied the skills taught in Literature: placing the art in its sociohistorical context, breaking it down into its components, analyzing them, and respecting that the complete artwork is more than just the sum of its parts.
