Titled “Why English 2008”, the conference, a faculty-student event, will promote discussion on the changing face of the discipline and query pedagogy. There will be semniars on a variety of topics, including: 

  • Language & Literacies
  • Digital Evolutions

  • Interdisciplinarity
  • Creativity in The English Department
