The English Department site includes research and course materials that sometimes express the views of individual faculty and students. These materials do not necessarily reflect the views of the department as a whole, UCSB, the University of California system, or the University of California Board of Regents.

Links to commercial or other external sites are for the convenience of our faculty, students, and Web users and do not imply endorsement. (For readings and research on the evolving relation between the contemporary university and commercial sector, see the following site developed in the department: Palinurus: The Academy and the Corporation—Teaching the Humanities in a Restructured World.)
