Biography
Katie Weitz White is on leave, but would be a fourth year doctoral student in the Human Development and Social Policy program at Northwestern University.  Katie received her bachelor’s degree from Carleton College in political science and a Master’s degree from DePaul in education, as well as one from Northwestern University from the School of Education and Social Policy.  Before coming to Northwestern, Katie taught in Chicago area schools for almost five years.  Katie’s work with Professor McAdams has been to analyze stories of principal school leadership told by Chicago Public School principals in collaboration with Prof. James Spillane through a Spencer Foundation fellowship.  Katie is also a fellow in the Multidisciplinary Program of Education Sciences at Northwestern and is working on differences in expert and novice principal problem solving.  Her current work centers on the roots of generativity:  asking how urban adolescents engage in civic life and develop political identity.
