Dr. Alexandra Arraiz Matute is an Assistant Professor in the Institute of Interdisciplinary Studies at Carleton University. She completed her doctorate in Curriculum Studies & Teacher Development at the Ontario Institute of Studies in Education (OISE) in the University of Toronto. She has an MA in Curriculum Studies from the same institution and a BSc in Psychology.

She is a passionate community educator and organizer. Her research and pedagogical interests lie at the intersections of identity, culture, race, and migration. Past research focused on the importance of relationships in teaching and learning as a site of healing and resistance for marginalized communities in the mainstream education system. Her approach to teaching is grounded in anti-oppression, equity and feminist theories; she believes in honoring diverse knowledges while pushing ourselves out of our comfort zone to learn from each other.
