ULM English Program

At the end of the second week of our "Focus on the Faculty" series, we'd like to introduce Dr. Patrick Morgan:

Dr. Morgan is an Associate Professor of English at ULM. He loves researching early and nineteenth-century American literature, especially the connections between science and literature. Here he is with his contribution to The Oxford Handbook of Ralph Waldo Emerson (“Transcendental Geologies: Emerson, Anti-Slavery, and the Kairos of Deep Time”). A copy of this book is located at the ULM library, call number PS1638.O9 2024. Most of all, he loves teaching the wonders of American literature and involving students in memorable projects, such as his science writing course where every student became a published writer: < https://www.ulm.edu/news/2022/patrick_morgans_class_031022hy.html >.

This summer, Senior English major Akira Johnson will be working as the Social Media Coordinator for the English Program.

For her first initiative, Akira proposed a series of introductions of the English faculty--these will start the week of June 15th, beginning with Dr. Haedicke and Dr. Giles.

Akira will be introducing new features over the summer, and we're so happy to give one of our majors an opportunity to showcase the skills in content creation, writing, and design we emphasize in the English Program at ULM!

Check out Akira's own introduction below:
