ELENA NARDI

I am currently Professor of Mathematics Education in the School of Education (EDU) at the University of East Anglia (Norwich, UK). My research is in a range of areas of mathematics education, with a particular emphasis on: the teaching and learning of mathematics at university level; cognitive, social and affective issues of secondary students’ engagement with mathematics; secondary mathematics teachers’ epistemological and pedagogical knowledge and beliefs; and public perceptions of mathematics and mathematicians. Amongst the post-graduate students that I have supervised are sixteen students at doctoral level and seventeen at Masters level. I am the director of EDU’s MA in Mathematics Education and coordinator of its main modules Introduction to research in mathematics education and Dissertation. I am coordinator of the BA in Education module Children, teachers and mathematics: Changing public perceptions of mathematics and I contribute sessions to the PhD, EdD, MA and BA programmes of the School – as well as the module The learning and teaching of mathematics at UEA’s School of Mathematics. I am member of the EDU Research Committee, the co-ordinator of EDU’s RME Group (Research in Mathematics Education), and member of the Social Science Faculty’s ESRC Peer Review Panel and a member of the ESRC Peer Review College. I am Advisory Editor of the Routledge journal Research in Mathematics Education, the official journal of BSRLM, the British Society for Research into the Learning of Mathematics. I am member of the Editorial Board of the Tailor & Francis journal Mathematical Thinking and Learning. My monograph Amongst Mathematicians: Teaching and Learning Mathematics at University Level was published by Springer in 2008.
