Nancy Warren, professor of English, has been named the new department head of the Department of English in the College of Liberal Arts at Texas A&M University. Her appointment was effective July 1.

Warren comes to Texas A&M from Florida State University, where she served in several capacities, such as director of undergraduate studies, director of graduate studies, interim chair of the Department of Interdisciplinary Humanities, and associate chair of the Department.

The Initiative for Digital Humanities, Media, and Culture at Texas A&M University is now housing a new research consortium called the Advanced Research Consortium (ARC), according to the initiative’s director, Laura Mandell. Its purpose is to expand the online research capabilities for literary scholars worldwide.

Other groups participating in ARC include the Networked infrastructure for 19th-century Electronic Scholarship (NINES) at the University of Virginia, 18thConnect in Texas A&M University’s Department of English, and the newly organized Medieval Electronic Scholarly Alliance (MESA) at North Carolina State University. ARC will work to advance two current online programs and develop new ones.
