Geometry, Quantitative Reasoning,Proof-writing, Methods of College Teaching
Research Interests
My research is in mathematicseducation. My main research interests include: a) equity inmathematics education, especially related to gender, b) motivation formathematical careers, c) stereotypes of mathematicians, and d) undergraduatestudents’ understanding of proofs and the language of mathematics.
