<p>My research is in mathematics education, learning, communication, activity, and cultural and historical change. To these focus points I bring knowledge of cultural-historical activity theory, critical theory and socio-cultural learning theories in order to investigate and generate new understandings of the mathematics curriculum, and to participate in development processes across the lifespan. I have participated in numerous full-scale studies within work place and school situations. For instance, I have worked on projects around assessement with schools, digital tool uptake in workplace situations, airlines, hotels and motels, etc. In these cases numeracy, the artefacts of numeracy, the reconstitution of numeracy and the relationship of this to the mathematical epistemologies privileged in policy documents, textbooks, the teaching tradition, etc, are studied.</p>
