Re-Engaging With Writing for Learning and Connection in the Age of AI

Dr. Elizabeth Wardle is a scholar and organizational facilitator whose work helps groups clarify their values, articulate their ways of thinking and practicing, and strengthen their approaches to teaching, learning, writing, and workplace collaboration. Grounded in the belief that shifting our conceptions leads to meaningful improvements in practice, she brings deep expertise shaped by a PhD in Rhetoric and Professional Communication from Iowa State University and earlier degrees in English and Philosophy from the University of Louisville. Wardle has led writing programs at both public and private institutions, chaired a large writing department, and now directs the Howe Center for Writing Excellence at Miami University. Her background also includes professional experience as a nonprofit fundraiser and grant writer. Widely recognized for designing and publishing research on successful deep‑change initiatives, she frequently delivers talks and workshops nationwide, drawing on threshold concepts and theories of learning, writing, leadership, and organizational change.
