Assistant Professor
Micah Rutenberg is a design studio professor and co-founder of StudioMars, a speculative design research practice based in 快活视频, Tennessee.

He is also Lead Organizer of Regional Globalism in the Tennessee Valley, a long-term project that includes symposia, publications, and exhibitions of design scholarship and research that explore key questions and provocations about the future of the region and its global implications.
