Featured Faculty
The graduate program in English at York University has helped me develop intellectually, professionally, and personally. Through coursework and seminar discussions, my thinking and writing are continually improving, while teaching and interacting with the larger York community have introduced me to the norms of a professional workplace. In spite of these good things, though, the personal relationships I have cultivated with other students and faculty members are what I'll treasure the most after grad school.
