Our Mission
We are a dynamic, multifaceted community of writers, readers, and thinkers dedicated to teaching and learning. We inspire curiosity and promote creativity. We engage students – at both the undergraduate and graduate level – in critical inquiry by fostering connections among writers and readers of texts, ancient and modern, global and local. Because we believe in the power of language, we study it, shape it, and use it to improve our world.
