About Us: Interdisciplinary Initiatives

The English Department at LaGuardia is proud to contribute to the leadership of many key interdisciplinary initiatives that foster growth in our students and faculty.

English Archives Research Project (EARP): The English Archives Research Project supports faculty members of the English Department who wish to develop and refine courses that take advantage of the historical resources available at the LaGuardia and Wagner Archives.

Learning Communities: Learning communities are courses clustered around a common theme and taught to the same cohort of students by a faculty team that share readings and assignments so that students may better understand connections among different disciplines and to learn in an active way with a community of their peers.
