English Department faculty, staff and students pursue scholarly and professional interests through numerous activities--
from informal reading groups to membership in national organizations. A handful of these are listed below.
If you are active in such a group and would like it listed here,
see our
link request form for more information.
The American Studies Colloquium promotes and represents the interests of graduate students working in the field of American Studies at the University of Washington. We organize activities and events to support scholarship and collegiality among students and faculty in American Studies. Also, we serve as a link between scholars in different departments, and strive to foster interdepartmental communication and coordination.
The Language and Rhetoric Colloquium is dedicated to a variety of issues, and can be broadly defined as covering interests from rhetoric and composition through critical discourse analysis and stylistics, to studies in English language history, language & discourse theory, and second language acquisition. We encourage creative presentations that make broad or direct connections to "language and rhetoric."
Thinking Sex in Transnational Times is a collaborative research project focused on the study and production of "sex" across different spaces, regions, epochs, epistemologies, and disciplines. The goal of this project is to chart new ground in Lesbian and Gay Studies, Area Studies (including American Studies), and Ethnic and Gender Studies.
Bricolage is an annual printed journal, produced each spring by undergraduates through the Department of English. We publish a wide range of literary and visual arts created by students, staff, faculty, and alumni, including fiction, creative nonfiction, poetry, prose, scripts, and essays, and any type of art that reproduces well in black and white and two dimensions. Every year the contributing authors give a reading the at the University Bookstore.
The Modernist Studies Group promotes and represents the interests of graduate
students and scholars working in the field of modernism and modernity at the
University of Washington. We organize activities and events to support scholarship
and collegiality among students and faculty doing work in disciplines related
to the study of modernisms. We view the Modernist Studies Group as a collaboration
of a variety of disciplinary perspectives and welcome new members from a range
of departments.
