Welcome to the Home Page for the Department of English at Southern
Illinois University Carbondale. The department here is an active and vital one, with strong programs in creative writing, literary and cultural studies, and rhetoric and composition; no matter your interest, as an undergraduate or graduate student, or a potential colleague, you'll find much of interest to explore here in Carbondale. As you'll see, our home page provides links to detailed information about our faculty and course offerings, as well as our journals (The Crab Orchard Review, our nationally recognized literary magazine, and Grassroots, our undergraduate creative arts journal), the program in Irish and Immigration Studies, and undergraduate and graduate student organizations. I'm very pleased you've chosen to visit our web site, and hope you'll take an opportunity, too, to visit our beautiful campus.
