Virtual Convocation 2020
The Faculty of Arts’ 2020 Virtual Convocation Ceremony took place on Friday, June 19, at 3pm EDT. Although this year’s celebrations looked much different than usual, the virtual ceremony served as a memorable opportunity for all of us to come together no matter where we are in the world.

In memoriam Prof. Jarrett Rudy (1970-2020)
Jarrett was an extraordinarily warm, generous, and happy person, with a great sense of humour and an infectious smile. Everywhere he went, he was the life of the party and the profession. Jarrett deeply cared about human relations, and was committed to civility in times of disagreement. We will miss him terribly.
Why students persist in studying English lit in a tech world
It might surprise people today to learn that that the first endowed Research Chair at McGill was not in a subject such as Medicine or Law or Science, but in English Language and Literature. The creation of the Molson Chair of English Language and Literature was crucial in the establishment and survival of McGill as a university.
