BTH teacher on the top 50 list of women leaders in education

Tamara Carleton has been ranked second among women in education by the American magazine Women We Admire. In addition to her many roles, she is a professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at BTH.

Each year, the magazine Women We Admire presents a list highlighting the accomplishments of women at the helm of diverse educational institutions across the nation.

“I feel lucky to be named for the 2024 list, especially for the second year in a row. We need more of this recognition worldwide! Great teachers are like masterful movie producers: giving chances for raw talent to shine, crafting the stage for action and success, and working with a support crew,” says Tamara.

Tamara holds a doctorate in mechanical engineering from Stanford University and has been working at BTH for many years. Tamara is also the founder and CEO of the Innovation Leadership Group, which helps companies and government agencies build innovation capacity and map bold futures.

Tamara Carleton has written seminal books in innovation, including Building Moonshots: 50+ Ways to Turn Radical Ideas into Reality, Inventing the Almost Impossible, and the Playbook for Strategic Foresight and Innovation.

Tamara also holds a Unesco chair in anticipatory leadership for innovative and better futures. This chair is part of the Unesco Futures Literacy program.
