Geschiedenis
The Department of English and Communications was created at the outset of Douglas College’s history in 1970, and was responsible for the administration, program design, and instruction of courses on English language speaking, writing, and reading skills, as well the performing arts (until 1972).
The department was chaired by several individuals during the years 1970-1996, including Robert W. Lowe (1971-1978), Howard Leslie Eaton (1982-1984), John Niel Fairlie (1984-1986), Maurice J. Hodgson (1988-1991), and Lorna McCallum (1991-1996). In 1986, it was renamed to Department of English and Basic Communications. In the following year (1987), the department reverted to its original title of Department of English and Communications, a title which it kept until 1997. In 1997, a restructuring of the college’s departments created the Faculty of Language, Literature, and Performing Arts, which included the Department of English and Communications.
