Laura Dassow Walls
William P. and Hazel B. White Professor of English
“I came to Notre Dame dazzled by its intellectual intensity, and it continues to be a vibrantly exciting place to teach and to write. But even more, I was impressed by the spirit of goodwill and community I found here. Scholarship can be lonely work, but to step onto this campus is to become part of a wider community of caring, for each other and for the natural world we share—affirming my belief in human possibility, an affirmation that has profoundly affected my work.”
