Joan Dempsey, Programs Director

Joan Dempsey is the newest member of Global Learning Partners (GLP) and joins the team as the Programs Manager. In this role she works with nearly everyone who comes through GLP’s doors and she welcomes ideas and suggestions from all members of the extended GLP family.

When Joan was first introduced to the principles and practices of Dialogue Education in GLP’s foundation course, Learning to Listen, Learning to Teach, she was immediately hooked. As someone who has worked for more than twenty years in the non-profit sector, Joan has conducted countless seminars and workshops and had always been looking for a learning method that would turn ordinary participants into engaged and extraordinary learners; Dialogue Education does just that! Joan has studied adult learning theory and applied the principles and practices of Dialogue Education while earning both her MFA and post-graduate teaching certificate in creative writing at Antioch University Los Angeles.

Joan holds a second master’s degree in management from Lesley University and a BA in philosophy, with a concentration in the Program for the Study of Faith, Peace, and Justice, from Boston College. For the past eleven years she has worked in various capacities in the field of animal protection and before that was active in the anti-nuclear peace movement. She lives in Maine with her partner of 10 years and is at work on her fist novel.
