Gregory M. Butler has taught English courses for the past 15 years, with five years in high schools and ten at Harford Community College and Towson University. He has earned five degrees, majoring in English, with a writing concentration; History, with a focus on Asian and African histories; and Education, with a focus in curriculum theory and development. Gregory has a passion for teaching grammar and formal writing for first-year students in college. He often incorporates diversity themes into every course he teaches by focusing on social justice for women, the economically disadvantaged, LGBT, and other minoritized groups in American society. He teaches at his alma maters, HCC and Towson, so that he can serve the same communities that helped him prosper into the accomplished professor he is today. It was during the fall 1996 semester, his freshman year in college, when he told his English professor, “I want to teach freshman composition too.” Gregory is well-known for telling his students, “If I can achieve my dreams, so can you!”
