MHC
Milestones
All
Booked Up Freelance writer and editor Elizabeth (aka
Nikki) Lloyd-Kimbrel keeps busy after her day job ends. The
assistant to the vice president for enrollment and college
relations wrote an essay on the fifteenth-century Book of Margery
Kempe, that will be included in the forthcoming Encyclopedia
of Women’s Autobiography.
Jo Malin of SUNY, Binghamton, and Victoria Boynton of SUNY, Cortland,
edited the encyclopedia, which will be published by Greenwood
Press in 2005. Lloyd-Kimbrel also participated in a November
panel at Smith titled “The Consequences of Apathy: A Reading
from Visa for Avalon by Bryher.” Participants read passages
from the book and then offered commentary about the novel’s
political and social messages, as well as its literary background.
The Massachusetts Cultural Council sponsored the event.
And the Award Goes to… Lowell Gudmundson, professor of
Latin American studies and history, recently won honorable mention
(second place) for the Robertson Prize for the best article in
Hispanic American Historical Review. He’ll receive the
award at the annual convention of the American Historical Association
in Seattle January 7. The article, “Firewater, Desire,
and the Militiamen’s Christmas Eve in San Geronimo, Baja
Verapaz, 1982,” appeared in the May 2004 issue.
