Addie Shrodes is a PhD candidate in Learning Sciences in the School of Education and Social Policy. She studies how LGBTQ+ teens learn to critique social injustice, create senses of everyday possibility, and dream new worlds on social media. She is also interested, more broadly, in the sociocultural, political, and ethical dimensions of learning and change with particular focus on the relation between everyday acts of resistance (digital or otherwise) and large-scale social change. Her work has been published in the  journal Reading Research Quarterly. She holds a Master's degree in English from the University of California, Los Angeles and Bachelor's degree in English and Sociocultural Anthropology from the University of Michigan.
