Rural Reimagined would like to recognize Dr. Helen Hunt (Associate Professor of English and Director of the Women’s Center) for receiving Level 1 funding (up to $2,500) from our Faculty Grant Program. Dr. Hunt proposed her project titled “We Persist: A Women and Gender Studies Seminar in Livingston, TN” which is a collaborative seminar between Tech’s Women and Gender Studies minor, Tech’s Women’s Center, and the Livingston Civic and Garden Club. Her seminar’s goals are “to increase understanding of women’s activist history in Tennessee, raise awareness of specific gender-based issues facing Overton County, and provide practical strategies to address these issues,” with the intended attendees being high school students and K-12 teachers. We congratulate Dr. Hunt and encourage other faculty members to submit their ideas in the future!
