Sue Edna Houchins Memorial Fund

Established to honor the life of Professor Sue Houchins, the Sue Edna Houchins Memorial Fund shall support an annual award for a graduating senior who has distinguished themselves in completing a thesis or equivalent capstone exercise that reflects the ideas, research, and teaching interests that presided over Professor Houchins’ life. Those topics include, but are not limited to, the study of Africa and the worldwide African Diaspora; the intersection of Blackness, gender, sexuality, and class; the study of race as an epistemological category; religion and spirituality; the study of queer representations in African and African diasporic literature; and, the importance of the Black archive in the digital age, especially the digital humanities. Please join us in remembering Professor Houchins' work and solidifying a legacy which will endure for generations to come.
