Laurie Rubel

I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Learning and Instructional Sciences in the Faculty of Education of the University of Haifa.

My primary research interests focus on teacher education and in particular, sociocultural contexts of teaching and learning mathematics. I use equity lenses to study areas like language and culture in mathematics education, mathematical thinking in and out of school, real-world contexts in the teaching of mathematics, gender and mathematics teaching and learning, data science education, and teaching mathematics for spatial justice.
