Dr. Liz Angeli (she/her/hers) is an educator, writer, spiritual director, and retreat leader.
Her scholarship and teaching reflect her interdisciplinary education and work experience and her commitment to publishing scholarship for practitioners, researchers, and teachers. A leading expert in first responder writing practices, Dr. Angeli has consulted with fire departments and EMS agencies to develop and deliver report writing training sessions, was selected to participate in program to bring writing research into first responder workplaces, and built a first-of-its-kind online training platform for medical report writing.
Her current research project is guided by a common question: 鈥淲hat can you do with a graduate degree in the humanities?鈥 Traditionally, students who pursue humanities graduate education have wanted to research and teach in the university. But that鈥檚 not the case anymore for many students. Graduate students are hungry for new knowledge, and they want to take their humanities training into non-academic spaces. In doing so, humanities graduates create technology platforms, thrive as corporate trainers, and craft public-facing exhibits. This work is called , and researchers in this area want to know how to develop best practices for how to do, research, and teach public-facing work. With support from the Way Klingler Fellowship, this research will result in training programs to support faculty who feel called to public-facing work and in new curricular structures that facilitate student success.
Dr. Angeli teaches writing courses that prepare students to communicate, live, and thrive in the world. These courses include writing in health and medicine, writing for workplaces, public humanities, and career discernment. She frequently teaches writing and discernment-based workshops for the university and community.
As a spiritual director and retreat leader, she accompanies people through personal and professional transitions, and she feels especially called to work with the LGBTQIA+ community. She considers herself to be a spiritual academic, committed to integrating spirituality into her teaching, academic and public-facing research, and service. Learn more at .
