29: Avoiding L&D Fads with Dr. Julia Huprich

In this episode, I talk to Dr. Julia Huprich, Editor-in-Chief of Learning Science Weekly, about how we can avoid L&D fads or trends and focus on what really matters in the field. 

Julia Huprich is the Vice President of Learning Science at Intellum, where she leads the initiative to establish evidence-based practices in corporate learning and customer education that drive real-world results. She is also the Editor-in-Chief of Learning Science Weekly (www.learningscienceweekly.com), an outreach initiative that helps to bridge the gap between empirical research related to the learning sciences and the practice of professionals in the field. She earned her PhD from the Department of Learning Sciences at Georgia State University in 2020. A former librarian, she previously worked as the Director of Training and Continuing Education for the Georgia Public Library Service, where she provided e-learning and in-person training for Georgia’s 4,000+ public library staff.
