WEEK NINE

Please join us online at CHQ Assembly on Friday, August 27 at 1:00 pm EDT for our tenth and final program of the 2021 Summer Assembly Season. We are pleased to present Rev. Shantell Hinton Hill, an engineer turned pastor who situates her work at the intersections of social justice, public theology, and speculative fiction, as she delivers a talk entitled (R)Evolutionary Resilience: Truth-telling for Radical Futures.

When she's not building and maintaining deep relationships with community members, Rev. Shantell Hinton Hill is helping the Winthrop Rockefeller Foundation ask deep questions about the realities and new futures that an equitable Arkansas would mean for all of its residents. Currently, Shantell is focused on narrative change and community voice as a means for radical movement building.

A native of Conway, Arkansas, Shantell is married to Rev. Jeremy Hill. She recently obtained a Master of Divinity from Vanderbilt Divinity School. She also earned a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from Vanderbilt University and a Master of Science in Electrical Engineering from Colorado State University. She is a proud member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., and the National Society of Black Engineers. Her vocational experiences include work as a Process Control Engineer, a Bible teacher, and, most recently, Assistant University Chaplain at Vanderbilt University. She is an ordained minister in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ).

In her spare time, Shantell loves coloring, writing, and science fiction. Her favorite quote is, "Do the work your soul must have," coined by the late womanist pioneer Rev. Katie G. Cannon, Ph.D.

AAHH lectures will remain available on the CHQ Assembly Platform assembly.chq.org and will also be archived on the AAHH website AAHeritageHouse.org a few days after the presentation. 

Note: the speaker will not be on the grounds of Chautauqua Institution.
