About
Josh joined the Faculty of Education at University of Alberta as Assistant Professor (K-12 Mathematics Education) after obtaining his PhD from the University of Calgary in 2022. Prior to that, he taught mathematics education courses at Brock University (Ontario) and the University of Lethbridge (Alberta) and was a secondary mathematics teacher.
Research
Broadly, Josh is interested in students’ and teachers’ experiences in classroom mathematics. Some specific interests include understanding how spatial reasoning skills are developed and used in mathematical problem solving and posing, embodiment and the experience of the body in coming to know and do mathematics, and how mathematics can enable students to flourish, both within and beyond the classroom.
