Swanee Grace Hunt (born May 1, 1950) is an American writer, academic, and former diplomat.
Hunt is a lecturer in public policy at Harvard Kennedy School and was the founding director of the Women and Public Policy Program[2] at the Kennedy School.[3][4] From 1993 to 1997, she served as United States Ambassador to Austria. She is a recipient of the PEN/New England Award for non-fiction.
Early life
Hunt was born May 1, 1950, in Dallas, Texas, the youngest of four children born to the oil tycoon H.L. Hunt and Ruth Ray. However, not until her father's first wife died did Swanee Hunt's parents marry in 1957 and it was only then that she and her siblings moved into the Hunt mansion, built to resemble its namesake, Mount Vernon.[5]
Hunt grew up in Dallas, Texas, where she attended the Hockaday School.[6] She lived for many years in Denver, Colorado, where she was active in many community and philanthropic activities. Her several siblings include sisters Helen LaKelly Hunt and June Hunt.
Education
While Hunt had hoped to attend college in the east, her ultra-conservative father refused, so Hunt began college in her hometown at Southern Methodist University.[5] Hunt earned her BA in philosophy from Texas Christian University, an MA in psychology from Ball State University, and an MA in religion and a doctorate in theology from Iliff School of Theology.[7]
Career
Hunt was appointed in 1993 as ambassador to Austria, where she was notable for writing a weekly newspaper column and radio program.[8]
In 1997, Hunt helped establish the Women and Public Policy Program at Harvard Kennedy School. Since stepping down as Director of the Program in 2008, she has continued on at the Kennedy School as the Eleanor Roosevelt Lecturer in Public Policy.[5]
Personal life
At age 20, Hunt married Mark Meeks, a seminary student. Hunt gave birth to a daughter in 1982, and the marriage dissolved soon after.[5] In 1985, Hunt married conductor Charles Ansbacher, who died on September 12, 2010. She has three children.[5]
