Interests
• My research is fundamentally concerned with the differences in opportunities to participate diverse groups of students face in the mathematics classroom--what I call the participation gap. A focus on the participation gap foregrounds the processes by which students come to participate in classroom mathematical activity, and the framing and positioning of their participation with respect to both subject matter and interpersonal interaction. My work examines how students and teachers develop and negotiate opportunities to learn mathematics both in moment-to-moment classroom interaction and over time. It is also informed by an understanding of how the social and cultural practices that a student develops outside of the mathematics classroom persist and fluctuate across contexts and over time, transform and are transformed by the opportunities for learning that the student encounters in the mathematics classroom, and shape how the student perceives herself and is perceived by others.
