He’s got the PWR

NICHOLAS JENKINS, associate professor of English, will be the new director of the Program in Writing and Rhetoric (PWR). “He succeeds ANDREA LUNSFORD, who has built and passionately nurtured the program since 2000,” JOHN BRAVMAN, vice provost for undergraduate education, wrote in an email announcement last week.
Lunsford will remain at Stanford as the Louise Hewlett Nixon Professor of English.
Jenkins, who has been on the faculty since 1998, writes about and teaches 20th-century culture and literature, especially poetry. He has published widely on W. H. Auden and Lincoln Kirstein. Jenkins is a regular contributor to such publications as the London Review of Books, Times Literary Supplement, New York Times Book Review, The New Republic, The New Yorker and Yale Review.
“Nick brings great enthusiasm and commitment to his role at the forefront of undergraduate writing at Stanford, and the program will benefit from his leadership,” Bravman added.
