Matthew T. Hora is an assistant professor of Adult and Higher Education in the Department of Liberal Arts and Applied Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and a research scientist at the Wisconsin Center for Education Research. After several years of experience in organic agriculture and food systems research, Matthew received his master's degree in applied anthropology from the University of Maryland-College Park. He then worked as a program evaluator of public health initiatives and STEM education initiatives before earning a PhD in the learning sciences from the Department of Educational Psychology at UW-Madison in 2012. Matthew's research interests are situated in the fields of applied anthropology, the learning sciences, and education policy analysis. In his current work he addresses three questions: What is the purpose and role of higher education in the early twenty-first century? How can we best design learning environments (organizations, classrooms, and digital spaces) that facilitate the acquisition of disciplinary content and transferable skills? How do cultural, political, historical, and economic factors shape how national higher education systems approach their roles in workforce development and advancing the public good? Matthew lives in Madison, Wisconsin, with his family. Ross J. Benbow is an associate researcher with the Wisconsin Center for Education Research at UW-Madison.
