Dr. A. Susan Jurow is Professor of Learning Sciences & Human Development at the University of Colorado, Boulder. She is also Co-Editor-in-Chief of Journal of the Learning Sciences (2021-2024). Dr. Jurow’s scholarship centers on ameliorating systems that marginalize communities. Her work involves research and design with historically non-dominant youth in school and community settings, progressive social activists, and technology designers. Across these contexts, Dr. Jurow and her collaborators foreground people’s capacity to organize new futures while struggling against systems of oppression. Dr. Jurow is also co-founder of the Healing, Empowerment, And Love (HEAL) program aimed at addressing academic harm for women of color graduate students through racial healing and holding space to deepen participants’ connection to their inner wisdom.
