Gasaway Hill was born in Belleville, Illinois, and was educated at Our Lady Queen of Peace parish school and Althoff Catholic High School.[6]

Gasaway Hill earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science from St. Mary’s University, Texas in 1986.[7] She received two Master of Arts degrees from St. Mary’s University, Texas in 1990 (Political Science) and 1991 (English) respectively. [8] She then attended the University of Houston earning a Master of Arts in Anthropology degree in 1997, and she earned the Doctor of Philosophy degree in Interdisciplinary Linguistics from Tulane University in 1999. [9]


Career

[edit]

Gasaway Hill began her teaching career in 1997 as a Lecturer, and then from 1999 as the Catholic Teaching Fellow at St. Mary’s University, Texas, before being named an Assistant Professor in the English and Communication Arts Department in 2000. Four years later she earned tenure and a promotion to Associate Professor. In 2008, she taught as a Visiting Associate Professor at the University of Dallas, and in 2010 she began a year long residence [10] at the Corrymeela Community Peace and Reconciliation Centre in Ballycastle, Northern Ireland. She returned to St. Mary’s University, Texas in 2011, and in 2014 was promoted to Professor and in 2018 to Director of the Graduate Program in the English Literature and Language Department.

She was the recipient of a United States Institute of Peace grant[11] in 2013 and the Inaugural Edward and Linda Speed Peace and Justice Fellowship [12] in 2015.

In 2020, she was named as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, in part for her work in the United Kingdom on story, forgiveness, and service locally and internationally at “Storywork: A Summer School in Narrative Practice”[13] at the Corrymeela Community Peace and Reconciliation Centre in Ballycastle, Northern Ireland in 2018 and 2019.[14]
