Alumni Spotlight of the Month

Robyn Mae Paul, PhD'23 (Engineering Education)

Last September, Dr. Robyn Mae Paul, PhD, was teaching an introductory class to first-year students at 8 a.m. on their very first day. The assistant professor in Sustainable Systems Engineering at the Schulich School of Engineering, introduced herself and told the lecture hall she researches queer theory in engineering.  

“Engineering has this restricted way of thinking, and this creates these boundaries where only certain people are allowed to be engineers and certain types of designs are allowed to be called engineering,” says Paul.
