Welcome to The Longest Island!
This is the official blog of the English Department at LIU Brooklyn (the Brooklyn Campus of Long Island University).The Longest Island is the best way to learn about who we are and what we do. We consider it to be the "front door" to the English Department, and while we do provide a link to the official LIU Brooklyn English Department website, the blog is always more up-to-date and more reliable, and we urge members of the English Department family to make it their first stop when seeking accurate information about our programs and activities.
In the sidebar at the right, you will find several menus that should guide you to whatever information you may be seeking in your quest to learn about the English Department.
The sidebar also features (1) live feeds of our various social media channels; (2) a long list of tags, which you can use to search for past blog posts by topic; and (3) a month-by-month archive of past announcements.
Thanks for visiting. Come back soon. And we look forward to meeting you at our next event!
