LOCATION: Merrick Hall 202

Through the Herbst Prize, English Studies were brought beyond OWU, into gentrified communities; where words and stories became tools for connection and growth. This talk explores why English matters; not just as an academic discipline, but as a vital force for empathy, education, and the future of the humanities.
