JoAnne C. Juett
Council Member

Rev. Dr. JoAnne C. Juett was born and raised in Scottsburg, Indiana. Rev. Juett received her Master of Divinity Degree from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, Kentucky in 1985, and was ordained as an American Baptist Minister the same year. She earned her Master of Arts degree (1988) and Ph.D. (1994), both in Comparative Literature, from the University of Georgia. Her Bachelor of Arts degree (1982) in music is from Butler University, Indianapolis, Indiana.

JoAnne is married to Dr. Samuel J. Juett, who serves as a personnel director for international civilian police training through the Department of State. They have two teenagers, Jarred and Jacqueline. Both children participate in lgbt activities at their schools, and they often accompany JoAnne at AWAB gatherings.

JoAnne is also a professor in the English Department at University of Wisconsin—Eau Claire where she specializes in Scientific and Technical writing. She also serves as faculty co-advisor for Spectrum, the student lgbt organization, and she is currently working with other professors in her department on research and writing projects in lgbt literature.

Dr. JoAnne Juett has worked throughout her career for inclusiveness in our society. From the time she developed friendships among the gay and lesbian community in her undergraduate fine arts department to the present, JoAnne has sought ways, academically and theologically, to strengthen and support the LGBT community, locally and beyond.

JoAnne promotes and supports the identity of AWAB The Inspiriter, as voices in our movement share pertinent information, challenge one another with heartening and heartbreaking stories, and seek the higher thoughts that will one day make inclusiveness a reality for all communities.
