Ann E. Green is a Professor holding the Dirk Warren '50 Sesquicentennial Faculty Chair in Humanities at Saint Joseph's University, where she serves in the Department of English, Writing and Journalism. Her scholarship bridges social justice, medical humanities, and intersectional studies of race, class, gender, sexuality, and disability within rhetoric and composition.
Her academic foundation includes:
- BA from Sarah Lawrence College (1990)
- MA from Pennsylvania State University (1994)
- PhD from State University of New York, Albany (1998)
Green's research examines how power structures manifest in educational spaces through service-learning and writing pedagogy. She pioneers community-engaged methodologies that confront systemic inequities, particularly exploring whiteness in service contexts and academic ableism. Her creative nonfiction work personalizes broader societal issues like healthcare access and class identity, while her medical humanities scholarship gained prominence during the pandemic through impactful public narratives.
Recent publications reveal three dominant trajectories: 1) Medical humanities applications to pandemic experiences and end-of-life care, 2) Critical examinations of academic ableism and mental health disclosure, and 3) Continued innovation in service-learning frameworks addressing race and intersectionality. These threads demonstrate her commitment to translating theory into community action.
Her distinguished contributions have earned significant recognition:
- Lindback Award for Distinguished Teaching (Lifetime, 2014)
- National Society for Experiential Education's Outstanding Leader in Experiential Education (2017)
- Project Narrative Summer Institute Fellowship in Medical Humanities (2020)
Green actively shapes institutional culture through leadership roles including founding director of the SJU Writing Center (1998-2004) and current chair of the Alliance (2019-present), SJU's LGBTQIA+ advocacy group. Her teaching philosophy centers on community-engaged learning with Philadelphia, Northern Ireland, and carceral system partners, emphasizing collaborative student projects that drive systemic change through critical writing and reflection.
She amplifies academic work through public scholarship, contributing op-eds to the Philadelphia Inquirer and Patient Safety Journal on racial justice, pandemic family experiences, and healthcare ethics. Her editorial work with Prompt: A Journal of Academic Writing Assignments further extends her influence in social justice pedagogy.
