Women and Gender Studies names Charlotte Hogg award winner

Dr. Charlotte Hogg, associate professor of English, is the 2017-18 Claudia V. Camp Research and Creative Activity Award winner.

The award, named in honor of one of the founders and a former director of the Women’s Studies program at TCU, is a one-year honorary appointment given by TCU’s Women and Gender Studies Program to recognize faculty members for their contributions, scholarship and programs to advance the study of women and gender.

Dr. Charlotte Hogg

Hogg’s work award project, Sorority Rhetorics: Constructing Values, Creating Sisterhood, examines sorority practices to understand “how dominant culture is shaped, sustained and challenged by organizations that impact millions of women throughout college and beyond.” You may learn more about her scholarship during the academic year at a public lecture in the spring semester and by participating in a program related to feminism that she will host in the fall. Watch your email for more details.

Hogg holds a Ph.D. from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, a master’s degree from Oregon State University and a bachelor’s degree from UNL. Her areas of focus include rhetoric and composition, women’s writing and creative writing. Hogg specializes in women’s literacies, rural literacies and place, composition theory and creative nonfiction. She is the former director of composition in the English Department.

Nominations for the award are requested each fall and reviewed by a faculty committee that selects the winner. Previous winners include Dr. Babette Bohn, professor of art history, Dr. Jeannine Gailey, associate professor of sociology, and Dr. Francyne Huckaby, associate professor of Education and director of the Center for Public Education.
