If you command the English language, you command the words and ideas that make things happen. Effective language is essential to all genres of writing and communication, whether they be speeches, news stories, website content, novels, movies \u2013 or even classroom curriculum. In our current age of information and entertainment, those who understand and can command the power of language will find many doors open to them.<\/p>\n

English Department
\n<\/strong>The Department of English at Kansas Wesleyan University believes that the highest calling of English as a discipline is to foster understanding, empathy, social justice, and change. Our engagement with stories, texts, and writing practices from across places, time periods, and discourse communities leads us to value a wide range of perspectives. Accordingly, the English Department as a community is committed to inclusion as regards race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, religion, ability and disability, politics, socioeconomic background, and immigration status. We believe that engagement with and celebration of diverse viewpoints through a respectful exchange of ideas makes us better critical thinkers, communicators, and citizens. This belief leaves no room for discrimination, intimidation, or harassment. Through these values, we are committed to serving students and the campus community.<\/p>\n
