Through its courses and other activities in linguistics, writing, creative writing, film, and literature, the Department of English works to create and sustain evolving communities of learners interested in the contributions of language to what has been called the examined life: a thoughtful, morally aware, and civically and personally responsible existence. Faculty and students aim for excellence in analyzing, understanding, and communicating about language and its beauties.
In addition to service courses and courses for our undergraduate and graduate majors, the department supports the diverse communities created by the American Sign Language/English interpreting program, the English as a second language program, ACT/IUPUI Theatre Education Program, the Indiana Center for Intercultural Communication, the Journal of Teaching Writing, and the University Writing Center.
