Her interest in MPWR stems from her own reflections on the role that mentoring has played in her development as a member of the RUME community. She has been afforded many opportunities for mentorship throughout her career, and hopes to extend these opportunities to all womxn in the RUME community through the MPWR seminar.
Megan Wawro, Ph.D.
is an Associate Professor in the Mathematics Department at Virginia Tech. Her research focuses student thinking and instructional design in linear algebra, and student understanding of mathematics in quantum physics. Wawro is thrilled with the strong community and support network that started with MPWR 2014 and continues to grow each year, and she looks forward to see how community members continue to support and empower one another in the RUME community and beyond.
Stacy Musgrave, Ph.D.
is an assistant professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Cal Poly Pomona. Musgrave's enthusiasm for the MPWR seminar stems from having positive experiences with mentors at critical junctions of her career. She recognizes the value of academic relationships that engender a sense of belonging, and has especially benefited from collaborating with others in her transition from pure mathematics to mathematics education research. Musgrave hopes to encourage a sense of belonging for women in RUME by creating a community of sustained support through MPWR.
Eva Thanheiser, Ph.D.
is an Associate Professor in the Fariborz Maseeh Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Portland State University.
