West Michigan has a long history of resettling refugees from around the world, and students in two Grand Valley courses are helping to teach them how to speak English.

The English Department strengthens the liberal education of students by developing a deepened understanding of language and literacy, the value of critical reading and effective writing, and the richness of literature, past and present.

The GVSU English Department is proud to announce the publication of Professor Regis Fox's new book, Resistance Reimagined: Black Women's Critical Thought as Survival, by the University Press of Florida.
