About
I am an Adjunct Professor in the Faculties of Education at the Universities of British Columbia in Vancouver, and Alberta, in Edmonton, Canada. I am also a Faculty Associate of the Centre for Culture, Identity and Education at The University of British Columbia, and a Conjoint Senior Lecturer at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia. Prior to these current positions, I was a postdoctoral scholar with the Imaginative Education Research Group at Simon Fraser University. I completed my Ph.D. in Curriculum Studies and Mathematics Education at the University of British Columbia. My doctoral work is a critical exploration of the construction of disadvantage in school mathematics in social context. For my dissertation, Voices in the Silence: Narratives of disadvantage, social context and school mathematics in post-apartheid South Africa, I was honoured with the 2006 Illinois Distinguished Qualitative Dissertation Award [International Centre of Qualitative Research]; the 2006 American Educational Research Association Outstanding Doctoral Dissertation Award, Curriculum Studies Division; the 2005 Canadian Association of Curriculum Studies Outstanding Doctoral Dissertation Award; and the 2005 Ted T. Aoki Prize for the most Outstanding Doctoral Dissertation in Curriculum Studies, UBC.
