Assistant Professor co-recipient of the Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators Dissertation Award

The annual AMTE dissertation award seeks to elevate the work of early career scholars whose research has substantial implications for mathematics teacher education in any of the following ways: to understand how social, historical, and institutional contexts of mathematics affect teaching and learning; to teach in ways that are responsive to such realities; and to advocate for every student. The Research Committee, a part of the Advocacy, Equity, and Research Division of AMTE, leads the solicitation of the dissertation award.

The Research Committee grounds this award in three areas of AMTE’s work:

1. To promote improving P-12 mathematics teacher education, which is inextricably bound to a commitment towards more effective and socially just education systems.
2. To strengthen the research and research-based practices of mathematics teacher education while supporting our members to understand how issues of social and racial justice undergird all of our work. 
3. To realize that the social, historical, and institutional contexts of mathematics affect teaching and learning and know about and are committed to their critical roles as advocates for every student.
