Robin DeRosa is a professor and an internationally-known advocate for Open Education. Her
research and activism focus on increasing public access to knowledge, critically
rethinking the profit motive in education, and piloting new architectures for programs and
institutions that empower and center learners in their design. Robin is Director of
Interdisciplinary Studies at Plymouth State University, part of the University System of
New Hampshire. She is also an editor for Hybrid Pedagogy, an open-access, peer-reviewed
journal that combines the strands of critical pedagogy and digital pedagogy to arrive at
the best social and civil uses for technology and new media in education, and she has
taught courses for the Digital Humanities Summer Institute and Digital Pedagogy Lab. A
leader in the movement to develop a social justice orientation for pedagogies and
practices related to Open Educational Resources (OER) and Connected Learning, Robin’s work
interrogates and inspires, and offers possibilities for a commons-oriented approach to
educational innovation.
Hope to see some of you there!
Cheers, Hope
