Area(s) of Expertise

Dr. Robin Keturah Anderson's research in mathematics education focuses on justice-oriented teaching and innovative approaches to transforming teaching practices and learning environments. Her work examines the role of reflective frameworks in supporting educators, the expertise that teachers share within job-embedded learning, and the intersection of race and education in teacher preparation. Dr. Anderson has been awarded over $1.8 million in funding to support her projects, which aim to advance equity-focused professional development and curriculum design to address systemic challenges in mathematics education.

Dr. Anderson is currently the Co-PI of an NSF funded project titled "Investigating Teacher Expertise within a Nested Learning System using Mathematics Professional Learning Communities in Elementary and Middle Schools" which seeks to better understand how teachers co-create expertise within job-embedded professional learning communities and the influence of the learning system within these learning spaces.
