Our School is the product of a forward-looking vision and mission. In scholarship, teaching and learning, outreach and public engagement, we recognize the importance of deep reading, textual analysis, creative expression, applied and persuasive writing, and research skills. We prepare students in textual disciplines for challenging careers and professions in a globally interconnected, information-rich, and humanly complex world.

As scholars, writers, and filmmakers, we recognize the power of words and images to shape as well as challenge discourses that dehumanize minoritized populations. In the light of recent efforts to end DACA and to block immigration from Muslim-majority countries, as well as the resurgence of white supremacist movements in our community and around the US, the critical interrogation of such rhetoric and the material oppressions it produces matters more than ever. We remain committed to creating and maintaining inclusive and diverse spaces in which students can learn.
