My research and teaching involves seeing mathematics through an Arts lens and using technology to bring mathematics to the wider world.

My research direction is best described by this question: What might math be like if ... you could discuss math with family and friends as you would a favourite book or a good movie? Looking at math as something to be shared with others leads me to explore what type of math is worth talking about ... and worth teaching and learning.

I collaborate with Marcelo Borba (UNESP, Brazil), Susan Gerofsky (UBC), Cornelia Hoogland (UWO), Janette Hughes (UOIT), Rick Jardine (UWO), Immaculate Namukasa (UWO), Kamran Sedig (UWO), & Nathalie Sinclair (SFU).
