How are you #UMNRemoting?
English faculty, grad students, and staff are writing, teaching, and researching at home
University of Minnesota students, faculty, and staff are learning to do their work in physical isolation, but that doesn't mean we have to be isolated from each other. As we exchange words and images we can envision others, reading and writing just as we are. Share your home workplace with #UMNRemoting!
