    Musings Fall 2017 Newsletter Volume XXI • Number 1 1 From the Chair t has been another extremely busy year for the English Department! As described in better detail on the facing page, we have added a simply extraordinary trio of colleagues to the Department’s faculty: Natasha Trethewey (two term Poet Laureate of the U.S. and a Pulitzer Prize winner); Tristram I th th Wolff (specialist in 18 -/19 -Century British literature, Comparative and Transatlantic Romanticisms, and environmental humanities); and, in happy collaboration with the Asian American Studies Program where she holds a joint appointment, Michelle Huang (specialist in contemporary Asian American literature, posthumanism, and feminist science studies). We saw a new degree program, an MFA+MA (in creative writing and English literature), through the long approval process. This program will create new bridges between these two parts of our operations, and we will be conducting the first round of admissions for it this season. The Department also completed a major Self Study and external review process, which was the source of enormous encouragement about our strengths and trajectory and also of new and creative prompts for us to think ourselves and our programs forward, into what will -- soon enough! -- be the middle part of the 21st century. It’s been a very good year for us! Laurie Shannon Franklyn Bliss Snyder Professor of Literature A Word from EGSO As Evanston prepares for winter we would like to take a moment to think back over the year past. We began the 2016-2017 academic year with our annual Fall Collation, during which Department Chair Laurie Shannon welcomed us back and gave us counsel on the importance of monotasking— nurturing the deep concentration necessary to do work well.
