RESEARCH

In 2025-2028 Dr. Immaculate Namukasa and I (Western University) are co-PIs on a SSHRC PDG grant led by Dr. Janette Hughes (Ontario Tech), on Education 2050: Futures Literacy for a Polycrisis.

For 2022-2026, I received SSHRC funding for a mathematics learning + computer programming project.

In 2021-2026, we are working on a mathematics education research project, funded by SSHRC, led by Dr. Immaculate Namukasa, focusing on Kafai’s idea of computational participation in K-10 settings.

EduAppps

I have worked for many years, in K-10 classrooms in Ontario (and Brazil), collaborating with educators to research the design mathematics experiences that offer students a sense of mathematical wonder.

We have completed a multi-disciplinary ORF:RE project, developing and researching education apps and support resources.
