The Department of English and Writing is a community of scholars and students dedicated to the study of the written word through the practices of reading and writing. We strive to be intellectual leaders at The University of Tampa. In our creative and professional writing courses, in our literature courses and in our academic writing courses, we teach creative skills that develop students’ sense of style and sharpen practical skills that help to prepare them for a variety of career paths. We make meaning out of complexity through composing our own written work, by workshopping our peers’ work and by critically analyzing texts and their cultural and historical contexts. English and Writing faculty aim to teach students how to read the world around them, to think critically about issues facing them and their communities and to clearly and effectively communicate in creative and professional contexts.
