Colorado State University

Dr. Aramati Casper is a research scientist at Colorado State University and the Mountain Studies Institute. Aramati’s current research ranges from diversity, equity, inclusion, and social justice (DEIJ) projects focused on DEIJ-informed undergraduate curriculum in STEM, to a long term limber pine planting project that will help provide tools for more resilient forest management. Aramati’s education work currently focuses on integrating DEIJ material into technical STEM courses, which are often presented as “apolitical” and detached from their social contexts.
