Welcome to Majors & Minors at Cal Poly Humboldt!
This show takes a close look at the rich academic offerings of our campus and all of the areas of study that can be pursued as a student. Each episode features an interview with a department Chair or a Professor and focuses on the specifics of an area of study, specifically the value of that pursuit both during the college experience and beyond.
This week Dr. Lisa Tremain, chair of the Department of English, joins the show. We discuss what drew her to the field, her extensive teaching background and winding professional path and get into the specifics of our department here at Cal Poly Humboldt and why it is such a rich place to pursue a degree in English. Throughout their time in the department, students analyze texts and language, challenge entrenched ideas, and think critically about how to amplify diverse voices. With a priority on hands-on learning, our students create, listen, write, teach, and plan their mark on the world. Students will work closely with faculty and a supportive cohort of peers to explore the deep connection between theory and practice, critique and creation. Graduates leave the University with a renewed passion for the study of English and a broad set of skills to carry into diverse and exciting careers.
The Department of English is housed inside the College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences.
