Welcome to the UP English Blog

Welcome to the University of Portland English Department Blog!  Please browse around and see all that’s going on in our department, with our students, and in our community and discipline more broadly.

This blog is for:

  • Current Students — to provide information about department events, internship opportunities, author readings, and the state of the field of literary studies.
  • Prospective Students — to introduce our dynamic department and university
  • Alumni — to stay connected to our department and a community of English majors
  • Our Community — to share with faculty, students, and alumni the mission of the University of Portland English department and to further the study and enjoyment of literature.

Our content includes posts about students, faculty, on-campus events, off-campus events, readings and lectures, jobs and internships, contents and competitions, and writing submissions. We also feature special freelance posts.

 What would YOU like to see us include on the blog?  Please post your suggestions, thoughts, and feedback in the comments section!

 Thanks for visiting—hope you return soon!
