Career

[edit]

Cognard-Black has been teaching at St. Mary’s College of Maryland, a public liberal arts college in St. Mary’s City, Maryland, since 2000.[9] There, she received twelve faculty development grants, two Internationalization and Teaching & Learning Grants (2011 and 2016), and thrice the Faculty-Student Life Award.[3]

Cognard-Black is also the recipient of two Fulbright Scholar appointments. The first in 2012 took her to the University of Ljubljana in Slovenia to teach the American novel and creative writing.[11] In 2020, she spent the second as a Senior Fulbright Scholar in American Culture at the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands, where she taught a course in American food narratives and social justice.[12]

In 2020, Cognard-Black won the Robert Foster Cherry Award for Great Teaching at Baylor University.[3][4] The award honors professors of excellence across disciplines, stimulates discussion in the academy about the value of teaching, and encourages departments and institutions to value their own great teachers.[13]

As the 2020 recipient, Cognard-Black received a prize of $250,000 and taught in residence at Baylor University for the spring of 2021.[4][14] During that semester, she offered an upper-level seminar in the literatures of food, "Books that Cook,"[15] and a workshop in creative nonfiction writing, “Moments of Truth." Cognard-Black also gave public lectures,[16][17][18] workshops, and a creative reading;[19] participated in a research panel; helped to organize a Summit on Empathetic Teaching with Baylor's Academy of Teaching and Learning;[16] and engaged in experiential and service learning projects with her students in partnership with the World Hunger Relief Farm, the Baylor Collaborative on Hunger and Poverty, and the Martin Museum of Art.[15][20]

In her writing career, Cognard-Black has published articles on feminist theory, food narratives, and Victorian literature in such places as Ms. Magazine,[21][22] where she sits on the committee of scholars[23], and The Huffington Post.[24] She has also appeared on The Kojo Nnamdi Show on NPR to discuss recipes as containers of individual and national memory[25] and has offered “Edible Essay” workshops for groups, including the Sandy Spring Museum,[26][27] the Iowa Writers’ House,[28] and Revolve, an arts and performance space in Asheville, NC.

Her short stories and essays have appeared in such journals as Story Magazine,[29] The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction,[30] and Another Chicago Magazine.[31] Cognard-Black has received three Pushcart Prize nominations[6], most recently for “Daughter Mother Daughter,”[29] as well as a Maryland State Arts Council Individual Artist Award in Fiction in 2013,[7] and she has been selected as an artist-in-residence at the Kimmel Harding Nelson Center for the Arts,[32] the Good Contrivance Farm Writer’s Retreat,[5] and the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts,[5] for which she won a creative fellowship from the Mid-Atlantic Arts Foundation.[8]

Her first book, Narrative in the Professional Age: Transatlantic Readings of Harriet Beecher Stowe, George Eliot, and Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, was published by Routledge in 2004.[33] She then co-wrote a writing textbook, Advancing Rhetoric: Critical Thinking and Writing for the Advanced Student, with her mother, Dr. Anne Cognard,[34] and has co-edited four anthologies of short fiction, creative nonfiction, and/or poetry. She is best known for Books that Cook: The Making of a Literary Meal, published with NYU Press in 2014 and co-edited with Dr. Melissa Goldthwaite.[35] From Curlers to Chainsaws: Women and Their Machines, a collection of creative nonfiction essays by women writers with MSU Press in 2016,[36] won a gold medal in the National Independent Publisher Book Awards contest.[37] Her most recent collection, co-edited with Dr. Melissa Goldthwaite, is Good Eats: 32 Writers on Eating Ethically, was published with NYU Press in 2024.[38]

In 2016, the first of her lecture series with The Great Courses was released, a course on essay-writing called Becoming a Great Essayist.[39] In 2019, she produced a second series with TGC on the craft and art of short fiction, titled Great American Short Stories: A Guide for Readers and Writers.[40] Her third series, Books that Cook: Food and Fiction, was contracted with TGC and released as an Audible Original on Audible.com in 2021.[41]
