Research Interests
My research interests are informed by my interdisciplinary background and experiences. I am interested in research in different subject areas including mathematics education, technology for teachers, professional learning communities, and diversity, climate change and teaching of multilingual learners. My research highlights opportunities as well the human agency within multiple intersectionalities in local, national, and international settings.
