In this instalment of EL&L Know Your Profs, Dr. James Stratton shares with us why there are so many silent letters in English, and why there is no one "right" way of speaking English.

"I like to think of the First Folio as a kind of time traveller. It started out in London at the Jaggard Publishing House in 1623. It has travelled across England, New York, and Japan before it came to UBC. It bears the stories of these travels and the marks of these readers within its pages. Its relevance is really a product of its strangeness and what it can tell us...about...all of the worlds it has travelled through," shares Prof. Patsy Badir.

Congratulations to Professor Daniel Heath Justice (English Language & Litreatures; Critical Indigenous Studies), who has been named a 2023 Distinguished University Scholar.
