Dr. Afua Adutwumwaa Ameley-Quaye is a Ghanaian-trained architect, a learning scientist, and an interdisciplinary researcher examining how physical learning environments shape teaching and learning. Her work focuses on how the intrinsic qualities of space can be intentionally leveraged to support engagement, participation, and meaningful learning in early childhood education. She currently serves as a Scientist with the Children’s Equity Project at Arizona State University, where she contributes to national efforts to strengthen early learning systems across the PK–3 continuum. Drawing on architectural practice in Ghana and research in the United States, she brings a global, practice-informed perspective to the design and use of learning environments.
