Lannan Center for Poetics and Social Practice

The Lannan Center at Georgetown University is a dynamic literary and cultural institution devoted to the public engagement of the contemporary written arts and to enriching the artistic and intellectual life of the Georgetown campus and community.

Lannan Center hosts a variety of programs throughout the academic year, including our Readings and Talks Series and Symposia. 

The Lannan Center fosters critical inquiry among students and faculty into the aesthetic, social, political, and cultural implications of the language arts. Current initiatives include the Lannan Fellows Program and courses taught by the Lannan Director, the Lannan Visiting Chair, and the Lannan Visiting Lecturer.
