Biography
When Professor Kelly Grant came to Tulane in 2001, she brought a robust professional background as an advertising copywriter, radio producer, and communications consultant, and her students benefit from her practical, experience-based approach to teaching communications.
Kelly Grant's research focuses on pedagogical practices, and she loves empowering students with the skills and confidence they need to be clear presenters and writers - even if they don't see themselves as natural-born Hemingways.
Contributions
Professor Grant's primary focus is teaching: her research is based on the best practices in teaching, and she has made the "Teacher Honor Role" seven times in addition to winning the Wisner "Professor of the Year" award in 2008.
Beyond conducting research that focuses on intercultural communication in teaching, Professor Grant also serves on the Steering Committee for Freeman's Altman Program for International Studies and Business.
In addition to serving on multiple university-level committees and task forces, Professor Grant is active as a communications consultant and often presents her pedagogical research at conferences.
