T. Philip Nichols is Associate Professor of English Education in the Department of Curriculum & Instruction at Baylor’s Moody School of Education. He studies how technology conditions the ways we practice, teach, and talk about literacy—and the implications of that conditioning for equitable teaching and learning. He is the co-editor of Literacies in the Platform Society: Histories, Pedagogies, and Possibilities (Routledge, 2025), and the author of Building the Innovation School: Infrastructures for Equity in Today’s Classrooms (Teachers College Press, 2022), as well as more than 80 articles, chapters, policy briefs, and op-eds. A Baylor Fellow (2025-26), he has spent two decades in the classroom, teaching at nearly every level of formal education—from the middle grades to the doctorate.
