For more than seven decades, The English Institute has been a major resource for developments in criticism, theory, and scholarship, while honoring traditional fields of interest and modes of literary analysis.
Three institutions will now host The English Institute conference: Yale University (2015, 2018, and 2023), the University of Chicago (2016, 2019, and 2024), and the University of California at Irvine (2017, 2022, and 2025).
The 82nd Annual English Institute meeting, SPECULATIVE, will take place October 17-18, 2025, at the University of California at Irvine.
Travel
If you are planning on flying to UCI, we recommend flying into John Wayne Airport (SNA) in Santa Ana, located just three miles from campus. A taxi or rideshare takes only 10 to 15 minutes and costs around $15 to $25. From the airport, drivers can take MacArthur Boulevard south, turn left on Campus Drive, and follow signs into the UCI campus. Public transportation is also available via OCTA bus routes 76 or 401, taking roughly 30 minutes.
For those flying into Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), the drive to UCI typically takes 60 to 90 minutes. Ubers, Lyfts, or taxis cost between $70 and $120. Drivers should take I-405 South, exit at University Drive, turn left, then turn right on Campus Drive to reach the main campus. Public transportation from LAX involves taking the FlyAway Bus to Union Station, then boarding an Amtrak or Metrolink train to Irvine Station, followed by a local OCTA bus or rideshare to campus—this trip may take approximately 2.5 hours.
From Long Beach Airport (LGB), UCI is about 30 miles away. Rideshares cost around $50 to $80. Drivers should take I-405 South, exit at University Drive, then turn right on Campus Drive to arrive at UCI.
If you are traveling from Ontario International Airport (ONT), you should expect a 60- to 90-minute drive. Ubers and Lyfts will cost between $90 and $130. Driving directions include CA-60 West to CA-57 South, then I-5 South to I-405 South, exiting at University Drive. Public transportation is possible but requires several transfers: a bus to the Ontario-East Metrolink Station, then a train to Irvine Station, and finally a local bus or rideshare to UCI. This route takes approximately 2.5 to 3 hours.
Parking:
 If you are driving to campus, UCI offers several visitor parking options, including the Student Center Parking Structure (recommended), Anteater Parking Structure, and Mesa Parking Structure, located just south of the Humanities quad, which is the most convenient option. You may purchase hourly or daily parking permits at automated kiosks or use the ParkbyPlate app or ParkMobile. Rates are approximately $2 per hour or $13 for the day. Credit and debit cards are accepted at all kiosks. Additional information, including updates on parking availability and policies, can be found on the
 UCI Transportation and Distribution Services website
. It's a good idea to check a campus map in advance or use Google Maps for walking directions once parked.

My sister and I and our 6 kids spent an afternoon picking strawberries here and it was so much fun. The staff will take you on a tour of the farm and show you all the different foods like green beans, carrots, sweet corn and cucumbers and we were able to take our berries home. Tip: Eat as many strawberries as you can! They were really fresh and delicious. The kids also loved the sunflowers and chickens. They also picked lots of melons and pumpkins which was fun. We will be back next time we have the chance.
