Dr. Elizabeth Corrie is a 2025-2026 Scholar in Residence at Georgia Interfaith Power & Light (GIPL), partnering on a project to engage congregational youth groups in leading their churches in a process of deliberating, through intergenerational dialogue, their next most faithful steps in addressing climate change. 

Corrie is a professor in the practice of youth education and peacebuilding at Candler School of Theology, Emory University. From 2007-2019, she was the director of the Youth Theological Initiative, an intensive, residential program in justice-seeking theological education with high school students at Emory.

Currently, she is the editor-in-chief of the Journal of Youth and Theology and is co-director of The BRIDGE (Building Religious Inclusion, Diversity, and Generational Equity) Young Adult Ministry Innovation Hub at Candler.

She is a member of the executive board of the International Association for the Study of Youth Ministry.

Corrie’s teaching draws on commitments to both peace with justice and the education of young people, particularly the development of teaching and ministry that empower people for global citizenship. Her current research interests include using innovative forms of dialogue and text study to deepen understanding of theology and build skills in talking across difference.
