It actively promotes collaboration with other departments and programs, such as the School of Languages, Literatures and Cultures; classics; American studies; and the Harriet Tubman Department of Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies. In this way, the Center serves as a focal point within the University of Maryland for cross-disciplinary dialogue in the humanities.</p> <p>The Center continues with the theme of Displacement in 2024-2025 with a special emphasis on war, violence and incarceration. CLCS continues its support of the Department's <a href="https://english.umd.edu/about/diversity-inclusion"><strong>CAARES efforts</strong></a>.</p> <p>We remain committed to supporting the work of emerging, early-, and mid-career scholars and teachers, with a particular emphasis on welcoming BIPOC and BAME scholars and teachers in the US and abroad. We envisage that these events will draw audiences from the University of Maryland and beyond.</p> <p>The Department of English opposes all forms of bias, racial injustice and oppression. All students, faculty and staff are critical to our educational mission as we strive to ensure that every member of the community is actively engaged in creating an inclusive and respectful culture in the classroom, in work spaces and at all department events.
