ELWS Faculty News and Notes

An international presentation, awards, and spreading the word about our programs, the ELWS faculty have been busy this semester! Here are a few notes to share about some of the work happening in the English, Linguistics, and Writing Studies Department. 

Elizabethada Wright and Stephen Gross (of the UM Morris) won "honorable mention" from the Catholic Media Association's 2024 competition (conferred in 2025) for their article "Unorthodox Plea for Contract Schools: Mother Mary Joseph Lynch and the Boarding School for Native Students in Morris, MN.”

Professor Wright was also recently published in the MnWE Newsletter, on “ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE—A BRAVE NEW WORLD – OF WHAT?” 


Chongwon Park and Sarah Eilefson presented “Trauma Expression Analysis Across English Translations of All Quiet on the Western Front” at the Annual Meeting of the Korean Association for the Digital Humanities.


David Beard was interviewed about Inter-Institutional Cross Registration in the Bark.  Students passionate about writing can take specialized classes from award-winning poets like Julie Gard and Tina Marie Higgins Wussow at UWS, for example. He was also interviewed by the University of Minnesota Extension about his recent research on removing barriers to rural healthcare.
