Our undergraduate conference is held every Winter term, with submissions accepted in December or January (keep an eye out for announcements online and in class, as well as posters advertising the submission process and theme for the year). The conference is an important, unique opportunity for you to share your ideas with your peers and professors, and an excellent chance to get a glimpse of what English literature looks like as a professional discipline (should you be interested in graduate school or even a future career in the field). The conference covers both academic essays as well as creative writing pieces (fiction, poetry, and nonfiction), and submissions are welcome from any current UTSC student. Each year awards are given (including a cash prize) to the best critical and creative works.

You can check the Department website (in the Events Section) for previous conference programs and updates about this year’s conference.

Student Co-Executive Editors: Leru Xu and Zabrina Bobadilla
