Cathery Yeh (Supervisor)
Dr.Yeh's research examines the intersections of race, language, and disability to provide a more nuanced analysis of the constructions of ability in mathematics classrooms and mathematics education systems. Her scholarship centers on partnerships with schools and communities to expand educational leadership to create equitable learning environments, with particular attention to students, families, and communities who have been historically marginalized in education.
