My research, situated within the sub-field of critical mathematics education, asks two important questions: 

  1. How do sociopolitical and sociocultural factors impact Black & Sub-Saharan African youths mathematics experiences? 
  2. How can mathematics education be harnessed to redress social injustices related to these sociopolitical and sociocultural factors? 

See my current research projects below:


Fostering Critical Financial Literacy

Envisioning BLACK Diasporic Mathematics Literacies

Envisioning BLACK Diasporic Mathematics Literacies

This project in collaboration with Alexandre Cavalcante will investigate the perspectives of Black youth on financial literacy topics in an out-of-school context with the goal of challenging inequities and social injustices. The major objective of this study is to understand how Black youth utilise their emerging knowledge of financial literacy to critically challenge injustices in their communities.

Envisioning BLACK Diasporic Mathematics Literacies

Envisioning BLACK Diasporic Mathematics Literacies

Envisioning BLACK Diasporic Mathematics Literacies

This qualitative participatory research project will explore the experiences of Black youth in mathematics education. The major objective of this research project is to understand how Black youth draw on their Diasporic knowledges and communities as they see themselves as capable mathematics learners.
