Jeffrey Collier Kempton
English Instructor
jkempton@mchsgallup.com
Collier came to us amid a long process of learning about people and studying the human condition. He has BA degrees in Economics and International Studies with a focus on Sustainable Development as well as an MA in the Anthropology of Development and Social Transformation from the University of Sussex in the UK. During his studies he focused on structural violence and neocolonialism in education. In his studies, he has grown to appreciate the practices and themes that tie humans together. He believes these things that all humans have in common can be seen in literature and can bind communities if they can communicate their perspectives. For Collier, very few things beat a good book or movie or time with family, but running and riding bikes can come close.
