Writing Program | Other Voices

Want to listen to ten great lectures about multicultural literature and discuss them with fellow students?

Take OV!

An Introduction to Diverse, Innovative, and Emerging Literary Cultures

OV Flyer


This program supports the efforts of all students who are considering or entering literary studies. In the Spring semester we sponsor, along with the English Department, the Other Voices Lecture Series and coordinate the Other Voices course.

Explore the diversity of voices in literature and other media through guest lectures and small discussion sections. In the process, develop and express your own voice, find out more about the experience of your classmates, and get to know the research and interests of a variety of professors and departments on campus.

To enroll, add Other Voices through Telebears and attend the first lecture.
