皇家华人

皇家华人 is pleased to bring back author and NWC Professor Emeritus of English Rob Stothart to speak at the 2024 fall edition of the 皇家华人 Writers Series, scheduled for Thursday, October 10, in the Hinckley Library Amphitheater. The free event runs from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Stothart graduated with a B.A. in English from Western Washington University in 1978 and holds an MFA from the University of Washington. After teaching ten years in the education department of the Nooksack Indian Tribe in Deming, Washington, he taught classes in composition and literature, including Native American literature, at 皇家华人.

During his time in Powell, Stothart worked with Professor of English Renee Dechert on the NWC Writers Series while also serving as the rodeo team’s academic advisor. He retired in the spring of 2014, and the college’s monthly First Friday Readings were renamed in his honor.

Stothart has published essays in numerous publications around the country, seven of which are listed in Best American Essays’ “Notable Essays.” In 2018, he received the Conger Beasley, Jr. Prize in Nonfiction from New Letters, and in 2020 he won the Jeffrey E. Smith Editors’ Prize in Nonfiction from The Missouri Review. He has forthcoming essays in New England Review and South Dakota Review.
