It gives me great pleasure to introduce the newest member of our advising group, Maggie Weimer. Maggie is an alum of our department (she earned her bachelor’s degree in English, with teaching licensure) so really we’re welcoming her back. Maggie comes to us after a number of years teaching high school language arts, then working as an advisor in FAA (architecture). Maggie also has a master’s degree in Library and Information Science (with a focus on collections and archives). We’re very happy to have her here and I hope you’ll all get to know her in the fall semester.
While I’m at it I’d also like to welcome our new incoming English and creative writing majors! Some of you have already registered for your fall classes and some have yet to do so, but we’re looking forward to seeing you all here in August. This blog will serve as a virtual notice board where we post information about upcoming events, opportunities, and resources, so please get in the habit of checking it each week.
There isn’t much news at the moment, but following are just a few reminders.
Illinois Neurodiversity Initiative
The Illinois Neurodiversity Initiative (INI) is a program of supports including academics, mental health, social community, and employment for University of Illinois students who identify with a neurodivergent condition. If you identify with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, dyspraxia, or any other learning disorder, or even suspect that you do, you may benefit from the many supports offered by the INI!
If you would like to apply to be admitted to the INI or would like more information, you can visit ini.illinois.edu.
If you apply to the INI over the summer and are accepted, you will be eligible to register for one of the INI courses offered for the Fall 2025 semester:
HSFS 102: Academic Strategies – Stress, frustration, and difficulty surrounding academic work? Students will learn executive function strategies that can be applied directly to assignments for their current classes. These strategies will promote student success this semester and in their future academic and professional career. Discussion time will be used to complete course assignments, build social networks, and provide a quiet study space with structured accountability. This course is for students who have or suspect they have a neurodiverse brain.
HDFS 204: Living on Your Own – Neurodivergent students will learn and apply essential skills for independent living. Topics include problem-solving strategies, effective communication, money management, navigating the community, home maintenance, interpersonal skills, and healthy relationships. Through interactive discussions, activities, and practical exercises, students will develop the necessary skills to thrive independently.

Take advantage of the rare opportunity to immerse yourself in the life and work of a single author with this course on Henry James! ENGL 455: Major Authors The world of Henry James’s fiction is a complex, subtle, often foreign, sometimes alienating literary atmosphere for contemporary readers. As a key figure in the change from realism to modern, James demands a lively, persistent engagement with his singular prose style. He can be an incredibly challenging writer, thinker, and social observer, but by following the evolution of his art from his early fiction in the 1870s through the work of the first decade of the twentieth century, we will find ways of approaching and appreciating its psychological profundity, moral perplexities, and extravagant pleasures—of language and ideas and the senses. To do so, we will examine some of James’s most famous achievements, like The Portrait of a Lady and The Ambassadors, to learn how James continually reinvents—as no other writer before him had done so consistently—the rewards of reading fiction. Yet even if he had never written any novels, we would still read James’s tales and novellas, including masterpieces like “Daisy Miller” or “The Turn of the Screw.” And if he had never written any stories, we would still study James as one of the most instructive literary critics of his time as well as the premier nineteenth-century theorist of fiction. And that’s before we try selections from his travel writing, autobiography, and meditations on an America in the process of being modern.
SOCW 200: Technology & Social Issues How is technology shaping our world — and who is left behind? In SOCW 220, you’ll critically explore the intersection of technology, social justice, and society. Using real-world examples, ethical frameworks, and emerging tech tools like AI, VR, and social media, you’ll investigate how things such as social justice, diversity and mental health are important intersections of technology use. Through hands-on projects, guest speakers, and lively discussions, students will build skills to advocate for ethical innovation and challenge inequities in the digital world. Prepare to ask hard questions, learn 21st-century skills, and become a changemaker in the tech-driven future.
AIS/ENG 459: “Stories Are Law”: The Legal Reasonings of Indigenous Literatures This course examines what Indigenous literatures—from creation stories and legal memorials to poems, podcasts, and novels—reveal about Indigenous legal frameworks and ways of ordering the world. Where Euro-American law has long cast Indigenous/Native American people as lawless, this course reveals the historical importance and ongoing significance of Indigenous legal reasoning and forms of governance, law, and order. The course also delves into how Native authors and legal scholars have responded to and analyzed US law. As Heidi Stark (Turtle Mountain Ojibwe) puts it, Indigenous writings “dispel the sanctity of law, demonstrating that law is a set of stories.” We will approach law as story and story as law by studying literature from multiple tribal-national contexts and historical time periods.
ENGL 222 satisfies the Difference & Diaspora requirement in the English major and CW majors!
