Elyse Eidman-Aadahl is Executive Director of the National Writing Project (NWP), where she draws upon 25 years of experience designing and leading national programs, partnerships, and action-learning efforts for NWP and its partner organizations. Eidman-Aadahl holds a Ph.D. in curriculum theory from the University of Maryland, College Park.  Her scholarship includes studies of literacy and learning in the context of our new digital, networked ecology. A main focus of her research is how educators from diverse backgrounds research and reason together about this social transformation—as well as literacy, equity, and agency—for themselves and their youth. She is a broadly published author and presenter, well-known for co-authoring Because Digital Writing Matters (Jossey-Bass, 2010) and Writing for a Change: Boosting Literacy and Learning through Social Action (Jossey-Bass, 2008).
