The new hire will join a vibrant department with three major tracks (English, Creative Writing, and English with licensure) and colleagues who frequently participate in or lead interdisciplinary programs such as Film & Media Studies and Race & Ethnic Studies. The English Department is a vital part of the college’s First-Year Experience, with English faculty teaching first-year writing and courses within the St. Olaf’s unique learning communities that bring together incoming students and a faculty cohort through a sequence of themed courses.
Through our own or affiliated course offerings, the English Department is committed to both diversity and breadth of learning through majors that explores time periods, cultures, geographies, and modes of expression with offerings such as Narratives of Social Protest, Afro-Caribbean Literature, Exploring Literary Publishing, and Podcasting & Photography.
St. Olaf is one of the nation’s leading liberal arts colleges: we enroll 3,000 students and are ranked at the top of U.S. colleges for the number of students studying abroad, as well as being ranked in the top five by the Princeton Review for providing one of the best classroom experiences. Our English majors present papers at national conferences, often take on leadership roles with campus publications, and both our faculty and students have helped the college earn recognition as a top producer of Fulbright scholars. The surrounding town of Northfield has been ranked as one of the best places to live and provides easy access to the Minneapolis and St. Paul metro area (~45 min), which is known for its museums, food scene, and thriving creative community.
