English

In addition to majors and minors in English and writing studies, the English department also houses the WRT 100 and ENG 110 programs. Both WRT 100 (Writing and Rhetoric) and ENG 110 (Literary Perspectives) are required for all students at Niagara University. We also offer a variety of electives in literature and writing that can fulfill general education requirements. Curious about why people study English? We've got some answers for you.

What's Happening In The English Department

CARE IN ACTION: An Interdisciplinary Symposium Hosted by Dr. Mangat on April 20

Care in Action is an interdisciplinary symposium that explores the increasingly seminal and urgent issue of care. This symposium considers, what is referred to as, the “crisis of care:” how the imperative to care (we all need care and we all want to care) is impeded by the difficulty of accessing care (we find it increasingly difficult to summon the resources needed to care). It seeks – through keynotes that historicize and contextualize this crisis, panels that foster dialogue between academics and students and healthcare workers, and a workshop that develops strategies for caring – to better understand how care can begin to be enacted anew on our campuses and in our communities.
