The graduate students of the Rice University English Department will be hosting their virtual conference, “The End of English,” which focuses on the current climate of the Humanities, and imagines the possible futures of the Humanities and Literary Studies. There will be both creative pieces and traditional paper presentations on an exciting array of topics, and all members of the Rice community and the public are welcomed to attend and participate in a much-needed conversation about academia and graduate studies, within the Humanities and beyond. Read Rice News’ feature on the conference, “Grad students ask: Is this the end of English?”.
