 **Hagop Kouloujian**  
Lecturer, Near Eastern Languages & Cultures, UCLA

 Dr. Kouloujian is a lecturer in Near Eastern Languages & Cultures at UCLA. His research focuses on the poetry of Nigoghos Sarafian: liminality, diasporic identity, virtual spatiality; a poststructural rereading of medieval mystical poetry; and languages without a country: language vitality programs and their replicability. Selected publications include: “Entering Outside or Towards a Self-Denying Reception: Writer, Contemporary Community, Language,” in *Krikor Beledian et la littérature arménienne contemporaine* (Paris: Forthcoming); “Compartmentalization in Heritage Language: Observations in the Armenian Diaspora,” in *Innovation in Education: Challenges of Teaching Western Armenian in the 21st Century* (Paris: Forthcoming); “Historical Narrrative in the Nineteenth Century Armenian Literature,” in *The Heritage of Armenian Literature: Vol. III – From the Eighteenth Century to Modern Times*, Agop Hacikyan et al, ed.s (Detroit: Wayne State University Press, 2005), 80-102; “On Armenian Parallels to Beowulf,” *Journal of the Society for Armenian Studies* Vol. 16 (2007), 76-87; “Exposure of the Armenian Genocide in Cyberspace: A Comparative Analysis,” in *The Armenian Genocide: Cultural and Ethical Legacies*, Richard Hovannisian, ed.
