Coulter earns PhD from Claremont University Holmes Community College English Instructor and Writing Center Director Stacey Coulter recently earned her PhD in English from Claremont Graduate University in Claremont, California.
A native of Prentiss, Coulter obtained a B.A. in English from Mississippi College and a M.A. in English from Wake Forest University, where her master's thesis focused on the poetry of W. B. Yeats. She has been a faculty member at Holmes since 2006, and was named Humanities Teacher of the Year in 2014. Prior to her employment at Holmes, Coulter taught English courses at Davidson County Community College, University of LaVerne, Copiah Lincoln Community College, as well as Mississippi College.
Although she has enjoyed literature since she was young, Coulter's determination to be an English major came the summer after her freshman year in college when she read Anne Moody's memoir "Coming of Age in Mississippi." She said that she admired Moody's tenacity and commitment to civil rights and knew that she wanted to commit her education to studying literature. In graduate school, Coulter's major area of study was twentieth century British literature with a particular interest in post-colonial and feminist theory. During her time at Holmes, Coulter has taught developmental English courses, English Composition I and II, and British Literature.
When Coulter is not teaching, tutoring, or writing, she enjoys hanging out at her home in Fondren with her husband, Reuben, their three-year-old son, Jackson, and their dogs.
