Lynn Liao Hodge, Ph.D.

My research interests focus on issues of equity and identity in mathematics education. In particular, I am interested in investigating how classroom practices create opportunities for all students to develop both an appreciation for and a deep understanding of mathematics. The research that I conduct contributes to efforts that delineate what “equitable” classrooms look like, how they might develop over time, and how they support students’ math and academic identities. This involves understanding students’ perspectives on their classroom experiences and how various communities in-school and out-of-school support student learning.
