Associate Professor
Department of Educational Studies (EDST)
Her scholarship raises philosophical questions about educational concepts, theories, policies, and practices. For example, Dr. Ruitenberg has examined conceptions of politics and democracy underpinning different approaches to citizenship education, and has proposed an ethic of hospitality as a guiding ethic for education. Her work spans different types of education, including K-12 schooling, teacher education and other professional programs, higher education more generally, and non-formal education.
