Personal bio
Robyn Wright Dunbar is Associate Dean for Educational Affairs in the School of Earth, Energy & Environmental Sciences. She received a B.A. in geology from Trinity University followed by an M.A. in Antarctic marine geology and Ph.D. in geology from Rice University. During the course of her graduate work, Robyn participated in five Antarctic research cruises and holds the distinction of being one of the first two women to conduct Antarctic marine research aboard a U.S. Coast Guard icebreaker. By the time she received her Ph.D., Robyn's research, her career, and her heart had shifted to the ancient rock record and the spectacular geology of the Four Corners area. Robyn was a faculty member at the University of New Mexico and at Rice University, where she also began to study and teach about science learning. Before her role at Stanford EARTH, Robyn directed Stanford's Center for Teaching and Learning and served in the Office of the Vice Provost for Teaching and Learning. |
