Assistant Professor, Occupational Therapy

Dr. Roberts’ research reflects his passion regarding occupational therapy education, culture, and context. Experiences practicing and teaching occupational therapy internationally drove Dr. Roberts to question how culture and context influenced his therapeutic and education practice. His scholarship explores how culture and context impact occupational therapy education in places where the profession is emerging and where educators often rely on curricular resources that are produced in Western countries and represent different cultural and contextual realities. Most recently, Dr. Roberts has studied the strategies occupational therapy educators used to situate their curriculum in their local cultures and context.
