Table Talks

The Department of English typically holds several Table Talks during the fall and spring semesters. These informal gatherings invite faculty to speak about new programs and minors, their current research, or to challenge participants with creative writing activities.

Social Gatherings

The Department of English strives to create a welcoming community. We host events for students to make new friends, meet new majors and minors, and mingle with faculty. These may be trivia nights, holiday parties, or spa days to relax during exams, and more!

Hermanns Lecture Series

Rudolph Hermanns was a travelling plant seed salesman who left a $2-3 million estate to UTA. In 1991, the Hermanns Endowment was established for the Department of English Lecture Series, an annual event that brings notable scholars to our campus for lectures, workshops, and panel discussions.

Book Club

The Book Club is an informal reading club that meets once a month during regular semesters to discuss interesting books in a relaxed setting (meeting times/locations vary).

Book Swap

The annual English Department book swap will take place April 7, 2026 from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM at the outdoor pavilion at the foot of Carlisle Hall. Bring a book, take a book... or just take a book! Find your next great read and chat with English faculty and students.
