It's been a busy week for Dr. Barbara McCaskill!

Her collaboration with Drs. Mona Narain and Sarah Ruffin Robbins, The Lives, Writings and Legacies of Phillis Wheatley Peters, is now available for preorder.

She is also a subgrantee on a 2-year, $750,000 grant that Penn Center National Historic Landmark District has received from the National Park Service. This NPS African American Civil Rights Preservation Grant will support the remediation and stabilization of the Butler Building on Penn Center’s campus, the institution’s original museum and library constructed by students and teachers in the early twentieth century.

In an effort to deepen the partnership between the English Department and the Poet Laureate of Athens, we are developing a running list of graduate students who are interested in participating in future poetry readings organized by current Poet Laureate of Athens, Amanda Dzimianski.

If you are a UGA English Department graduate student and you'd like to be added to the growing list of interested poets, please email Jami Mays ([email protected]) with your headshot, a short bio, your pronouns and your phone number!

Curious about English research but not sure where to begin?

Join the new Undergraduate Lab for English Research, a student-led organization dedicated to making literary research more accessible, collaborative, and engaging. They aim to help undergraduates learn about English research opportunities and connect with faculty mentors and fellow students while creating a space to share ideas and develop projects.

They will hold an interest meeting on Wednesday, Sept. 23, at 6 p.m. in Park Hall 261 – there will be pizza and brownies! No previous research experience is required.
