This forum promotes scholarly activity among full-time faculty members in the English Department by providing them with the opportunity to circulate their research among colleagues.  Interested faculty members then respond to the circulated work over wine and cheese, offering feedback for the work's revision and collegial support towards its publication.  

Note:  participation in this forum is open only to full-time faculty members in the English Department and is distinct from the Conolly College Faculty Forum.

Watch the English Department blog (The Longest Island) for announcements of upcoming events.
