Recoupling Mathematics Research and Education

My inquiry based learning experiences in mathematics were the primary reason I became a mathematician. As a graduate student finishing a PhD in mathematics research, I am increasingly faced with the desire to develop as a mathematics educator while staying true to the spirit of inquiry.

This talk will reflect on my personal case study as a developing researcher and inquiry based learning practitioner. It will explore how a fresh PhD might integrate the doing, sharing and teaching of mathematics through a culture of inquiry that builds on traditional research training.
