Workshop
Input, Dialogue, Clarification
Following the roundtables, the second part of the Early Career Researcher Day offers participants the chance to engage more deeply with both the thematic focus of SCOPE and relevant research methodologies.
The workshop opens with a short presentation by a leading expert in the field.
Prof. Eva Thanheiser will focus on cross-cutting relationships and highlight innovative fields of STEM Education and Mathematical Modelling.
Eva Thanheiser is an award-winning mathematics educator and Chair of Mathematics and Statistics at Portland State University whose work challenges traditional views of mathematics by showing how it can help students make sense of the world and build confidence, community, and purpose in the classroom. Her research and leadership focus on equity, justice, and belonging in mathematics, from rethinking whole number and data reasoning to designing social-justice–oriented lessons and professional learning for K–12 teacher leaders.
As co-editor of Building Community to Center Equity and Justice in Mathematics Teacher Education (AMTE Professional Book Series, Vol. 6), she collaborates nationally and internationally through books, talks, and large-scale research–practice partnerships that use mathematics to analyze and disrupt real-world patterns of inequity.
After the short presentation, participants return to their small groups to reflect on the presentation, relate the content to their own research, and formulate questions.
The workshop concludes with a joint Q&A session, where the expert responds to the questions gathered in the group discussions and open the ground for broader exchange.
