  • Kathleen Hickok, professor of English and women's studies at Iowa State University, has been named interim director of the Women's Studies Program in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (LAS).

    Hickok will serve as interim director of the program during the fall semester. An internal search will be conducted during the fall to name a permanent replacement for Jill Bystydzienski who has accepted a faculty position at Ohio State University.

She is the author of the book, "Representations of Women: Nineteenth-Century British Women's Poetry," published by Greenwood Press in 1984.

    A faculty member in Iowa State's Department of English since 1979, Hickok has frequently been recognized for her outstanding classroom instruction. She received a LAS Award for Outstanding Teaching in 1995 and was named an Outstanding Faculty Member in 2002 and 2003 by the ISU Greek Council. In 2003, she received a PHORUM Faculty Award for outstanding commitment to doctoral students.

    She was named the Jerry Shakeshaft Master Teacher in Humanities and Social Sciences for the 2005-06 academic year by the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
