Welcome to the English Department Knowledge Base at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
The EDKB Wiki is a database that makes available the various interests, talents, and resources of the English Department community. See the Main Page to learn more about the EDKB. The wiki does not offer information on current course offerings, nor is it a comprehensive archive of materials related to all past courses. Visit the English Department home page for this type of information.

The Architecture of CategoriesCategories contain articles. To help you locate the information you are looking for more quickly, categories also contain subcategories. To find all of the articles in a category, scroll down to the "Articles in Category" section on this page. Use the subcategories to find articles pertaining to more narrow topics within the category. Not all articles will appear in a subcategory, so if you don't see a subcategory relevant to your needs, check in the "Articles in Category" section.
