Bio
Dr. Reinholz (they/he) studies how to revolutionize STEM education. Drawing from a disability justice perspective, Dr. Reinholz analyzes how interlocking systems of oppression work together to marginalize students in STEM. Dr. Reinholz leads transformative professional development efforts organized around the EQUIP classroom observation tool, which provides actionable data to address racial and gender inequities in classroom participation. Beyond the classroom level, he applies organizational learning theories to understand how to scale and sustain meaningful changes.
