Matthew Bejtlich is an interdisciplinary educator, mentor, artist, and researcher who works across and between art, entrepreneurship, and regenerative design. Grounded in a posthumanist perspective, his practice moves beyond human-centred frameworks to explore how learning, leadership, and creativity emerge with/in living systems and multispecies relationships. As a PhD student in Management at Dalhousie University, he creates tools, resources, rituals, practices, and platforms that help learners, entrepreneurs, and organizations experiment with regenerative potentials through collaborating with human and other-than-human worlds.
Over the past four years, through teaching and mentorship with Crimson Education, Indigo Research, and Polygence, Matthew has supported more than 250 students from initial idea to launch, guiding capstones, research papers, creative projects, and ventures that blend academic rigour with expressive approaches and real-world impact. His mentees have published research, earned scholarships at leading institutions such as the University of Pennsylvania, USC, Parsons, and Northeastern, and initiated projects in climate action, the arts, social innovation, and entrepreneurship.
Matthew teaches at Dalhousie University, Rhode Island School of Design, and Northeastern University. In 2023 he co-founded Unfolding Aliveness with Charlotte Hankin—an educational-ecological-artistic platform creating art with more-than-human worlds for planetary thriving. He holds an MFA from the Rhode Island School of Design and an MS in Data Science from Brown University and was mentored in sound design by Bradley Zero in London (BBC Radio, NTS Radio).
