The English Minor invites students majoring outside of the English department to pursue
a passion, to augment their current field of study, and to join a vibrant, interdisciplinary
literary community. Students in the minor will have the opportunity to explore the
relationship between culture and literary production in courses that are profoundly
influenced and inspired by critical lenses such as gender studies, queer theory, performance
studies, Black studies, ethnic studies, postcolonial theory, and more.
