If you've never been a part of a listserv, let me assure you it is easy to subscribe. If you have email (and all students at UM have a university account), then you can be a part of our discussion group which reaches all subscribed English Graduate Students at once.

[Our List] was created to be a forum for the English graduate students at The University of Mississippi. This list is a gathering site for the dissemination of information among English grad students: calls for papers, conferences, job openings, gatherings, parties, etc. In addition, it can be an excellent resource pool. Feel free to lob questions regarding GI duties, ask for advice on classroom activities, start theoretical debates, check with other GIs about a suspicious student paper, or call for help finding the source of that quote you haven't been able to put your finger on. Essentially, this is your list. It can grow into whatever the grad students need it to be. At present, no topic should be considered taboo. Of course, in order to provide an open and comfortable forum for expression, subscriptions to this list should be restricted to graduate students only.

If you want to subscribe, please send a message to our list's manager, at owner-engrad@listserv.olemiss.edu and request to be added. It is a closed list and the manager must approve your subscription, so a delay can be expected; however, membership is well worth it to any English grad student.

The only requirement is that you must be an English graduate student at the University of Mississippi.
