Kay E. Ramey, PhD is an Assistant Professor of Learning Sciences and Educational Psychology in the University of Iowa’s College of Education. She earned her PhD in Learning Sciences from Northwestern University, an interdisciplinary MA in Social Sciences from the University of Chicago, and a BA in Psychology and Art Theory and Practice also from Northwestern. Her work focuses on centering youth voices and designing learning environments that support youth agency, interest and identity development, and real-world skills, such as adaptive problem-solving and resilience. She is particularly interested in how young people learn through making and in the material, spatial, and sociocultural aspects of learning. She sees in Anne Frank an exemplary story of youth learning and resilience and a template for elevating youth voices and encouraging self-expression through the creation of shared artifacts.
