Venue description
The ETSU Department of English is a group of faculty members with a great diversity of interests, but with a common dedication to teaching, scholarship, and service. Our interests range through the fields of British and American literature, regional and comparative literature, mythology, film studies, technical writing, linguistics, composition studies, writing across the curriculum, computer-assisted writing and creative writing. We have published books, essays, articles, poems, short stories, and electronic media in areas as diverse as our interests and as comprehensive as our curriculum. Our commitment, as individual scholars and as a working faculty, is to the ideals that recently led to ETSU's designation by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching as a Doctoral Level, Research Intensive institution. The department offers the Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts Degrees. In addition to the classes traditionally offered by Departments of English, the department offers innovative courses focusing on the rhetoric of drama, Women's and African-American Literature, cooperative drama/literature and film/literature courses, and distance education courses that reach out to students in the surrounding areas.
