Dr. Joanna Grant knew from an early age that she would go into teaching. During her college years, she did a lot of tutoring through the English Department's writing lab, and she always enjoyed the interesting, more nontraditional students the most. It was rewarding for her, watching their progress and their increasing self-confidence.

Dr. Grant received her PhD and MA in English from the University of Rochester, her MPhil in Philosophy from Oxford University, Jesus College, and her BA in English from Berry College. Since joining UMGC in 2010 she has taught at sites for UMGC Asia, from Japan to Korea, and throughout the Middle East with UMGC Europe, from Manama to most recently, Kuwait.

In her fourteen years with UMGC, Dr. Grant has gotten to know many, many more intelligent and driven military students and helped them to achieve their goals. She especially enjoys teaching Mythology classes, with their combined emphases on history, myth and folklore, and creative writing. Dr. Grant is also a widely published poet and creative nonfiction writer. Her most recent poetry collection is Adrift from Alien Buddha Press.
