Biographical Sketch: Elizabeth Lynn founded the Project on Civic Reflection, the leading partner nationwide for service groups and organizations who seek deeper understanding of their work through reflective reading and discussion. Established at Valparaiso University in 1998, with funding from the Lilly Endowment, the Project’s client list includes national service agencies, cultural organizations, universities and more. Among the resources the Project offers are an extensive electronic resource center; expert training in facilitation; program consultation; and anthologies of readings that inspire rich conversation about service and civic engagement.
Lynn is the editor, with Adam Davis, of The Civically Engaged Reader (Great Books, 2006) an anthology of readings for civic reflection. A skilled facilitator and presenter, she has conducted numerous workshops, board discussions and plenary sessions for educational and service organizations nationwide. She holds a PhD in Religion and Literature from the University of Chicago.
