Each year the Anne Newman Sutton Weeks Poetry series features several readings by nationally known poets, one of whom teaches in residence for a semester. Published since 1965, ellipsis is a student-edited literary journal that features work by emerging and well-known writers from across the country.

Current English faculty specialize in medieval and Renaissance literature, early nineteenth century and environmental literature, Latino and other U.S. minority literature, South Asian literature, film studies, composition pedagogy, poetry, and fiction. We seek a colleague who can complement our strengths by offering additional courses on diverse authors and media. In our teaching, we maintain Westminster College’s commitment to inclusive, supportive, and engaged student learning.
