- The description/definition of "centers" now on our department website:
- From the "About" page:
- "The UCSB English Department offers courses in a full range of literary historical periods, national and transnational literatures in English, and critical approaches. It is distinctive for eight multidisciplinary centers that cut across traditional boundaries and allow faculty, post-doctoral and visiting scholars, graduate and undergraduate students to collaborate on critical and creative activities. The research clusters reimagine what it is to teach the humanities, privileging collaborative knowledge-practices as the necessary complement to the traditional classroom. This model of balanced education is the foundation of a robust English major.
- From the "Research Centers" page:
- "The first generation of the department’s centers, started in the 1990s, include the Transcriptions Center, the Early Modern Center (EMC), and the American Cultures & Global Contexts Center (ACGCC). A second generation, Literature & Mind Initiative (L&M), Literature & Environment (L&E), Hemispheric Souths (HSs), the Center on Modernism, Materialism, and Aesthetics (COMMA), and Medieval Literature, began 2008-10. All the centers have a distinguished record of funded research, colloquia, and curricular “specializations” for students. For more on the centers, please see this excerpt."
- From the "Research Centers Excerpt" (by Alan Liu) page:
- (See the page, which contains an excerpt from an article by Alan that describes the center model)
2. Cross-center Programming
- Possible ideas:
- Lecture Series (Maurizia suggests: "a trans-center lecture series organized around a topic that may interest all the different centers--a topic that may be approached from different methodological and theoretical perspectives, and therefore capable of respecting the specificity and work of each center")
