Biography: 

Aron Lee Rosenberg graduated from DISE's PhD program in the spring of 2023, after completing a study with high school students and teachers about how their online practices connect them to issues of social and environmental justice. His research drew from institutional ethnography and arts-based methodologies to investigate and help develop students’ critical digital literacy practices. Earlier in his time at McGill, Aron spent a year offline to explore how his own student experiences were shaped by the digital world. Before grad school, Aron was a high school teacher in Vancouver, and before that, grew up in Edmonton. Outside of work, Aron likes to write, read, and watch things. He also plays the fiddle and is trying to get more involved in community activism.
