Professor of Mathematics Education at Qatar University earned my Ph.D. In mathematics education from Chicago university in USA, and my second PhD in statistics at McGill Canada. My research interest focuses on mathematics teacher learning and professional development, especially awareness about change of climate. my own experiences as a high school teacher, educational scholar, statistician and mathematician, grounds my work, I become interested in social and cultural factors as well as educational policies and practices that facilitate mathematics engagement, learning, and performance. Theoretically, I draw on ethnomethodology developed by Harold Garfinkel and sociocultural studies of learning in addition to STEM. Methodologically, I conduct quantitative and qualitative research in addition to comparative case studies, using discourse analysis as a tool to understand local meanings.
