Elizabeth Barrett Kidder

Ed.M. L&L '05

Prior to coming to HGSE, Elizabeth worked as a grantwriter and editor for several educational nonprofits. After graduation, it was her goal to obtain a position with an educational publisher. Elizabeth discovered the associate editor position at Blackwell Publishing and was hooked.

"Because Blackwell publishes on behalf of scholarly societies, such as the National Council on Measurement in Education, the position gives me the best of both worlds: I work on the business side of publishing while supporting the mission of nonprofit societies."

Elizabeth currently manages 20 academic journals in the fields of education, psychology, and history. "It is so exciting to be helping to shape the future of journals I cited while at HGSE. One of the most exciting parts of my job is managing the development of the new start-up journal Mind, Brain and Education, which is edited by Bigelow Professor Kurt Fischer, director of HGSE's MBE program."
