Research Interest

• My primary research focuses on statistics and probability education, including data science education. I examine how learners and teachers make sense of data, uncertainty, and variation, and how curriculum, tasks, and classroom practices can be designed to support meaningful statistical and probabilistic reasoning.

• I am interested in mathematics curriculum studies through social and political approaches—especially how curriculum revisions are shaped by competing values, public discourses, and institutional decision-making, and what these processes imply for the aims and equity of mathematics education.

• Informed by my experience in university administrative service and an educational sensitivity to power and governance, I explore policy and structural issues in teacher education and higher education, including how institutional arrangements and policy choices shape the preparation of teachers and the conditions for teaching and learning in universities.
