\"\"Greg Larnell<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gregory V. Larnell (@gvlarnell on Twitter) is an associate professor of mathematics education in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction at the\u00a0University of Illinois at Chicago, where he teaches undergraduate courses on urban education, STEM education, and mathematics teaching and\u00a0learning and graduate courses on mathematics education scholarship and curriculum studies. His research interests include empirical and theoretical\u00a0study of learners\u2019 experiences amid transitions to postsecondary mathematics courses (especially introductory and pre-introductory\/remedial\/developmental courses), urban mathematics education, and issues concerning knowledge production in mathematics\u00a0education scholarship (especially concerning race, equity, and injustice).<\/p>\n

\"\"Eric Knuth<\/strong><\/p>\n

Eric Knuth received a\u00a0doctorate in mathematics education from the University of Colorado at Boulder, a\u00a0master\u2019s\u00a0degree in mathematics from San Diego State University, and a\u00a0bachelor\u2019s degree in electrical engineering from the\u00a0University of Illinois. For\u00a018 years, he was a faculty member at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and in\u00a02017, he\u00a0joined the faculty at the University of Texas at Austin, where he also\u00a0serves as the Director of the STEM Center. His\u00a0program of research concerns the\u00a0meaningful engagement of students in mathematical practices and their\u00a0development\u00a0of increasingly more sophisticated ways of engaging in those\u00a0practices. His research focuses, in particular, on practices\u00a0related to\u00a0algebraic reasoning and learning to prove. He has also served as co-chair of\u00a0the AERA SIG for Research in\u00a0Mathematics Education and as a member of the NCTM\u00a0Research Committee.<\/p>\n

\"\"Elise Lockwood<\/strong><\/p>\n

Elise Lockwood is Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Oregon State University. She received her\u00a0PhD from Portland State University and held a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Wisconsin \u2013 Madison. Her\u00a0research focuses on undergraduate student reasoning about combinatorics, and, more recently, the role of computing\u00a0within mathematics education — both within combinatorics and in other content domains. Her work is funded by the\u00a0National Science Foundation and Google. She received the 2018 John and Annie Selden Award, and she was awarded\u00a0the 2019 Promising Scholar Award at Oregon State University. In 2019 she was named a Fulbright Scholar for a project\u00a0in Norway, at the Center for Computing in Science Education at the University of Oslo.
\nElise\u2019s favorite part of her work is collaborating with wonderful colleagues and students, and she finds it particularly\u00a0rewarding when ideas are developed and refined through rich conversations. She also loves working with and learning\u00a0from her research participants. In her free time, Elise enjoys cooking, eating, playing board games, collecting Rocket\u00a0Raccoon comics, cheering for the Portland Trail Blazers, relaxing with her two cats, and spending time with her friends\u00a0and family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
