Adam P. Newman is the new digital scholarship specialist for Atlanta initiatives at the Emory Center for Digital Scholarship (ECDS). In this role he will manage the implementation of Emory’s ATL Dashboard project, a new initiative which will track and visualize Emory’s community engagements throughout the metro area. He also serves as the managing editor of the open access journal Atlanta Studies, which is published by ECDS.
Previously, Adam was working at ECDS in a part-time capacity as a special projects liaison while pursuing his PhD in the department of English, but in light of that experience decided to switch career trajectories. As Adam notes, “I’m really excited to not only be able to focus on digital projects full time, but to do so alongside the fabulous colleagues I’ve been working with and learning from over the past few years.”
Raised in Queens, NY, Adam earned his bachelor’s degree in English from Vassar College and will graduate with his Master’s in English from Emory this December.
Outside of work, Adam can often be found reading, listening to live music, and walking around town.
