Hi! I'm April Ursula Fox, Ph.D.

I am an Educational Psychologist, researcher, educator, and writer interested in how individuals construct meaning, develop understanding, and transform through educational experiences.

My work explores the psychological, cultural, and experiential processes through which people engage with knowledge, navigate uncertainty, develop agency, and learn. I am particularly interested in meaningful learning, multimodality, embodied cognition, educational design, assessment, and the ways learners connect academic knowledge to their own lives and communities.

I developed the Performatic Learning Framework, an integrative model that examines how learning becomes visible through participation, experience, cultural mediation, and transformation. Across my research, teaching, and creative work, I seek to better understand how educational experiences can support meaningful learning, human development, and the growth of passionate experts.

This website is home to my academic work, publications, research projects, books, creative endeavors, and ongoing explorations.

Welcome!
