Averett Department of Language, Literature, and Culture

Averett Department of Language, Literature, and Culture The LLC Department engages students in languages, cultures, writing, and diverse media.

The mission of the Department of Language, Literature, and Culture at Averett University is to engage students in languages, cultures, writing, and a wide range of media, both in the classroom and in the community. The Departmentโ€™s supportive, interdisciplinary environment fosters students' analytical and creative thinking, problem-solving abilities, and communication strategies that engage with l

ocal and global perspectives. We see the tasks of understanding communication processes, learning languages, developing cultural awareness, honing writing skills, and analyzing literature, film, and other media as profoundly interconnected. Our holistic approach prepares students for future challenges and opportunities in civic and professional life!

The visions of hope and possibility in the first section of each book are replaced in the second halves by re-visions of nostalgia, grief, and growth. While Woolf and Montgomery are not often discussed together, a comparison of these novels highlights how, for both authors, aesthetic creations such as painting, writing, and storytelling become a means for their characters to process grief and remember lost loved ones.
