Beyond HoTT, we pioneer innovative scholarship through other celebrated programs. Faculty and students make significant contributions across historical periods, from medieval texts to Renaissance theater to modern American poetry. Our rapidly expanding film and media studies discipline further demonstrates our commitment to academic innovation.
