Dr. Carie S.T. King, clinical professor and associate director of rhetoric in the School of Arts and Humanities at The University of Texas at Dallas, has been selected as the managing editor of publications for Sigma Tau Delta, the international English honor society.
Established in 1924, the honor society is dedicated to fostering literacy and all aspects of the discipline of English. There are more than 900 local chapters in the U.S. and abroad. King is the advisor for the UT Dallas Sigma Tau Delta chapter, which has been at the University since 2017 and is one of largest chapters in the country with more than 40 active members.
In her new role, King will oversee the society’s two main annual publications. The Sigma Tau Delta Review publishes critical essays on literature, essays on rhetoric and composition, and essays devoted to pedagogical issues. The Sigma Tau Delta Rectangle publishes literary nonfiction, fiction and poetry.
“This is such an honor,” King said. “But more importantly this appointment is great for my students, for the School of Arts and Humanities and for UT Dallas because the UT Dallas name will be in every journal that we edit.”
As part of her new role, which will be for five years, King also will oversee three editorial interns each summer as well as attend board meetings and participate in other society events.
