Emory’s small, selective doctoral program in English offers training in a wide range of fields within literary, critical-theoretical, and cultural studies.
I always enjoy meeting with @EmoryUniversity Professor of Irish Studies Geraldine Higgins. Today, she kindly invited us to her Atlanta home where it was great to be able to discuss her work on Irish literature.
