I hope to explore ways to center mathematics education in the people and communities it should be designed to serve, simultaneously redefining narrow societal notions of mathematical intelligence and human worth. I am also interested in how such changes in mathematics education must work harmoniously with different cultural settings to impact change within both local and global contexts.
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.
