The Department of English and the College of Arts & Letters are committed to a diverse and inclusive campus and society. Through the study of literature and film, our curriculum inspires discussions about race, ethnicity, gender, class, sex, sexuality, ability, and religion. We foster curiosity through the study of literature and film and through creative production.
