Congratulations to the Class of 2013! English Education students successfully completed their student teaching experiences this spring in schools throughout the mid-Atlantic region—from Pennsylvania to Maryland to Delaware, including local Newark schools.

Please join the Department of English as we celebrate the work of our senior majors. Select students who were enrolled in ENGL480 during the spring semester will present their culminating projects that were developed under the guidance of Profs. Carroll, Walker, and Wilson.

Department of English doctoral student Christopher La Casse has been awarded the Robert L. Platzman Memorial Fellowship. La Casse’s dissertation, “Modernism in the Magazines, Modernism in the Great War: Poetry, The Little Review and Reveille,” examines World War I as a crucial moment in the history of Anglo-American literary modernism.

We are pleased to announce a new interdisciplinary minor that will be available to students this fall. A synthesis of humanities, sciences, and public policy, the Environmental Humanities minor will appeal to science majors who would like to learn how to effectively communicate their work and humanities majors who are interested in writing about scientific issues. Click the picture above to learn more and see the breadth of classes offered through this minor.

Our faculty is made up of scholars and practitioners with expertise in literature, film, drama, creative writing, professional writing, journalism, ethnic studies, education, and cultural studies. Our majors choose to concentrate in Literary Studies, Creative Writing, Ethnic and Cultural Studies, Film, Professional Writing, or Drama; English education majors train to teach English in secondary schools.
