Biography

My doctoral research was a comparative study of student engagement and persistence in STEM fields in Finland, Sweden, and United States. In addition to comparative education policy, my current interest is on the intersection of science and mathematics education, and the education of citizens. I am interested in the idea of science and mathematics as part of a humanities education increases our wonder and appreciation of the world, and what it means to be human.
