Dr. Robyn Ruttenberg-Rozen

Assistant Professor, STEAM Education,
Director, Ideas^s Lab
​ Ontario Tech University
In my research, I explore the tensions and possibilities of belonging and inclusion in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) learning environments for typically underserved, linguistically and culturally diverse, and exceptional populations of learners and their teachers or professors. I explore how STEM identities intersect with other identities, for example with gender, race, disability and ethnicity, and how agentic strategies can be nurtured to support belonging for historically marginalized people in STEM. At the centre of my research is the study of change, innovation, and inclusion. Using an interdisciplinary approach, I focus on humanizing STEM learning and disrupting deficit perceptions that ‘other’ learners in STEM learning environments.

​​In 2020 I received the Ontario Tech Early Career Teaching Award, and in 2022 I received the Tim McTiernan mentorship award. In 2024 I was the faculty nominee for the Ontario Tech Award for Excellence in Teaching and I received the 2024 Ontario tech Research Excellence Award in the category of Emerging Researcher. Currently I am on the editorial board for the ​​Journal of Educational Informatics.
