Johann Ducharme is a Postdoctoral Fellow for Leadership and Character in the Professional Schools. He earned a Ph.D. from the College of William & Mary, an M.A. from the University of Maryland, College Park and a B.A. from Gordon College in Wenham, Massachusetts.

Johann’s research focuses on how to cultivate intellectual humility in students and leaders. He is currently working on a grounded theory of intellectual humility contextualized to undergraduate education, which highlights pedagogical strategies employed by professors to counterbalance its excess or absence. Prior to joining Wake Forest, Johann held multiple positions at William & Mary as a graduate assistant in the School of Education, research assistant for the Mason School of Business, graduate intern in the President’s Office, and Associate Editor for William & Mary Educational Review. In previous roles, he worked as a Program Manager at the Institute of International Education in Washington, D.C. and was a regular lecturer for the American Studies Program in Vocation and Leadership. He enjoys mentoring undergraduates as they navigate the challenges of emerging adulthood, and firmly believes in the process of unlearning for growth.
