Jo Ann Citron

Jo Ann Citron has had dual careers in English and in law but has always preferred novels to statutes.  She did her undergraduate work at Vassar, her Ph.D. at Boston University, and her J.D. at Northeastern University.  She taught English literature at BU and Bates, and law and public policy at Wellesley College.  Her family law practice in Massachusetts and New York concentrated in high-conflict child custody litigation with the NY practice emphasizing impact litigation. Until she moved from Cambridge to Truro full-time during the pandemic, she led study groups in 19th c. novels at the Harvard Institute for Learning in Retirement (HILR) in Cambridge. In 2023 she started A Taste for Trollope at the Truro Public Library where she leads discussions on Anthony Trollope and his contemporaries. This is her first course at the Prez Hall Open University.
