What is English?
Our Department is a vibrant meeting ground for people who care about the English language and everything humans can do and have long done with it. We investigate its availability for those who would impose, those who would resist, and those who would debate power of many kinds. We track the development of English and its movement across the globe. We encounter English on the page, the stage and the screen. We relish its capacities to awaken perception and elude simplification. We invest daily in the conviction that words matter.
