On Sunday,
September 30, the Belmont Humanities Symposium committee announced that, going
forward, the Symposium writing awards will be named in honor of Dr. Sandy Hutchins,
a longtime member of Belmont’s English Department.
Dr. Hutchins earned her Ph.D. from Vanderbilt
University and is an Associate Professor of English with teaching focuses in writing, including creative writing and composition, and in British
literature. Her research interests include daughter/father
relationships, social festivity in literature, Australian literature, literary/cultural
study, and teaching and pedagogy, especially the teaching of creative writing. In 2010, Dr. Hutchins was the recipient of the Leo Love Merit Scholarship as part of the Taos Summer Writers Conference. She has published fiction, poetry, and creative non-fiction and is now working on her third
novel, Already Kindled, told from the perspective of a young girl growing up in Mississippi.
Please help us in congratulating Dr. Hutchins for this most recent distinction!
