These meetings highlighted conflicts that, although present for many years, had 68
Disciplinary Identities been generally overcome by a collegial environment. In a department in which rhetoric and professional writing courses are strong programs at the MA level (the MA degree in Technical and Professional Writing, for example, has a maturing online degree with about seventy-five active students, a majority of the department’s MA students) and are a significant factor in a PhD program, some of the faculty not specifically involved with these areas became concerned and disturbed by our proposed reduction in the number of required literature courses for students pursuing the RSPW concentration. Some even suggested that since RSPW faculty “had [the] PhD,” we should let literature faculty “have the BA.” Our attempt to extend our presence to the undergraduate major became a territorial struggle. The extent to which reactions to our proposal reflected struggles over institutional power can be seen in the responses of faculty in other areas of study that were also not firmly rooted in the departmental core. While we were perceived by some faculty as upstarts trying to deny the “soul” of English—the study and composition of literature—our proposal garnered support from faculty teaching in other areas with limited visibility in the major: linguistics and multicultural literature. the meaning(s) and boundaries of the “english” major Our conclusion that the resistance that we encountered was tied up in larger territorial battles is hardly earth-shattering. It will be more revealing, and, we hope, helpful to our readers for us to analyze the specific scholarly and institutional conditions that demarcated disciplinary boundaries and subsequently fueled that resistance. On the one hand, these sorts of conflict may be the inevitable consequence of gathering together any group of twenty or fifty or (in our case) eighty strong-willed people who are devoted to what they do. On the other hand, while there is no doubt that ego and personality conflicts have had some part in this resistance, we do not want to reduce the divergence of opinions to “interpersonal conflict” or to present that divergence as simplistic “us vs. them” factioning. Rather, we would like to outline some of the differing assumptions that inform the department’s guiding terms and that maintain (or challenge) the boundaries among the many scholarly pursuits currently housed within the English department. Departments of all shapes and sizes have had to deal with just the kinds of conflict that we have wrestled with: conflicts over the real “meaning” of the English major, the role of the so-called “practical” courses in an English curriculum, and the merits and problems of institutionally separating writing from literature. 69
