The Department of English in the Faculty of Liberal Arts & Professional Studies<\/a> (LA&PS) recognizes students for outstanding essay writing produced during their studies.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

This year\u2019s winners of the English Award make up the 22nd group of recipients since the program was established as an important marker of academic excellence within the department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe English Awards are a great reminder of how curious, thoughtful and hard\u2011working our students are,\u201d says LA&PS Interim Dean Kathryn McPherson<\/strong>. \u201cThese essays don\u2019t just show strong writing, they reveal how deeply students engage with literary works from around the globe and in different centuries, as well as with complex theoretical and social issues.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every year, the winning essays span a wide range of topics showcasing the varied academic interests and critical perspectives students develop over the course of their studies at York.<\/p>\n\n\n

The winners of the 2025 English Awards<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Past essays have considered how spaces in Kim's Convenience <\/em>and Da Kink in My Hair <\/em>reflect cultural specificity or universality, or how William Shakespeare's King Lear <\/em>was adapted into a classic film set in 16th century Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2025 English Awards recognize work that engages with an equally wide range of ideas and approaches, including how modern theatre productions have adapted Shakespeare\u2019s Othello<\/em>, representations of gender and social status in two 18th century novels, and explorations of Indigenous resilience and identity in Patti LaBoucane-Benson\u2019s contemporary graphic novel The Outside Circle<\/em> and Cherie Dimaline\u2019s dystopian novel The Marrow Thieves<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Award-winning essays are preserved in an online catalogue maintained by the Department of English to demonstrate the value of strong, original writing as a cornerstone of English studies. The catalogue also offers current and future students the opportunity to engage with and draw inspiration from past recipients\u2019 work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
