Bio

Erin Robinson is deeply appreciative of the opportunities to grow up in diverse environments as a Third Culture Kid. From an early age, she came to experience the significance of compassion, perspective taking, and developing a sense of relatedness with others who are different from yourself. This evolved into a passion for pursuing intercultural competence, social justice, equity, inclusion, and peace. Robinson currently serves as middle school principal and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) co-lead at United World College of South East Asia. She holds a doctorate in educational leadership and her doctoral work focused on cultural competency in education with additional research interests in student voice, student engagement, and outdoor education. 

Throughout her career, Robinson has sought opportunities to support students, staff, and parents in further developing intercultural understanding and developing equitable and inclusive school environments. With 15 years of experience in school-based DEI across the United States of America and Asia, she also enjoys consulting with schools and providing professional development in DEI, anti-bias recruitment, cultural competency, inclusive leadership, organisational implementation of DEI, and culturally responsive pedagogy.
