Joan Brooke Moore, M. Litt (Politics), MFA (Poetry)

JB holds a Master of Letters in Politics from the University of Oxford (thesis, “The politics of litigating discrimination: A case study of ‘Mandla vs. Dowell Lee’”), an MFA (Poetry) from the Warren Wilson College MFA Program for Writers, and a BA in Comparative Religion, summa cum laude, from Harvard-Radcliffe Colleges. 

JB has been a tutor in the Writing Center since 2005. After teaching in the ABE program, she was hired as an adjunct for Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS, now AHS) and was privileged to make a minor contribution to the development of the core curriculum for the new Bachelor of Arts in Integrated Studies. She taught or co-facilitated courses for about ten years in HSS: Comparative Religion, Intro to Ethics, Critical Thinking, Integrated Studies II, and the five original Dialogue classes. Since 2020 JB has been grateful for the opportunity to teach Creative Writing and Foundations in Liberal Arts for the Department of Language and Letters.
