Dr. Lowe was a great friend of the Andalusia Institute, a noted Southern literature scholar, and most recently served as an instructor in the NEH-sponsored Flannery O’Connor Institute. His last known public lecture, “Flannery O’Connor’s Use of Humor,” was given at GCSU and can be found here. Finally, although he is a renowned scholar who recently retired from UGA, Dr. Lowe should be known, first and foremost as a teacher and mentor. He was always quick to promote and support his  students, was active in the Society for the Study of Southern literature, and was always encouraging students to study Southern literature. Dr. Lowe will be greatly missed.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1666293626901{margin-bottom: 60px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”6512″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2/3″][tek_sectiontitle st_title=”Carol Loeb Shloss” st_title_tag=”h3″ st_subtitle=”Former Acting Professor of English at Stanford University” st_subtitle_decoration=”” st_separator_enable=”separator_on” st_separator_position=”below_title” st_separator_style=”solid-line” st_separator_width=”sep-border-width-1″ st_text_align=”text-left” st_width=”st_fullwidth”][vc_empty_space height=”15px”][tek_button button_text=”Learn More” button_action=”button-action-link” button_link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Foconnorinstitute.gcsu.edu%2Fcarol-loeb-shloss%2F” button_position=”pull-left”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”6514″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2/3″][tek_sectiontitle st_title=”Farrell O’Gorman” st_title_tag=”h3″ st_subtitle=”Professor of English at Belmont Abbey College” st_subtitle_decoration=”” st_separator_enable=”separator_on” st_separator_position=”below_title” st_separator_style=”solid-line” st_separator_width=”sep-border-width-1″ st_text_align=”text-left” st_width=”st_fullwidth” css=”.vc_custom_1666293963803{padding-bottom: 12px !important;}”][vc_empty_space height=”15px”][tek_button button_text=”Learn More” button_action=”button-action-link” button_link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Foconnorinstitute.gcsu.edu%2Ffarrell-ogorman%2F” button_position=”pull-left”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1666293632969{margin-bottom: 60px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”6513″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2/3″][tek_sectiontitle st_title=”Christina Bieber Lake” st_title_tag=”h3″ st_subtitle=”Clyde S.
