Panelists will include editors of major education research journals that include a focus on undergraduate mathematics education (including teacher education). They will share examples of influential research, discuss the aims and scope of their respective journals, and provide advice for novice researchers looking to mobilize their work.

Panelists:

Dr. Egan Chernoff, University of Saskatchewan

Professor Egan J Chernoff is a faculty member in the Department of Curriculum Studies in the College of Education at the University of Saskatchewan. He is, also, an Associate Member, Department of Mathematics and Statistics in the College of Arts and Science at USask, and an Adjunct Professor, Faculty of Education at Simon Fraser University. Currently, Egan is the (English services) mathematics editor of the Canadian Journal of Science, Mathematics and Technology Education, Book Reviews Editor of The Mathematics Enthusiast, and is an editorial board member for the Journal of Mathematical Behavior, Mathematical Thinking and Learning, Vector: Journal of the British Columbia Association of Mathematics Teachers, and others. Egan's research utilizes logical fallacies (e.g., the fallacy of composition, the appeal to ignorance and others) and particular theories, models and frameworks from the fields of mathematics education and psychology (e.g., attribute substitution) to account for future elementary, middle and high school math teachers' normatively incorrect, inconsistent and sometimes inexplicable responses to a variety of probabilistic tasks.

Dr. Elise Lockwood, Oregon State University

Dr. Elise Lockwood is a Professor in the Mathematics Department at Oregon State University. She received her PhD from Portland State University and was a postdoctoral scholar at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Her primary research interests focus on undergraduate students' reasoning about combinatorics. She received a CAREER Award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to investigate how computational activities can support students’ combinatorial thinking and activity, and she was recently announced as a 2025 PECASE Awardee. She was a 2019 Fulbright Scholar at the Center for Computing in Science Education at the University of Oslo. She is a Co-Editor-in-Chief at the International Journal of Research in Undergraduate Mathematics Education, and she served as a program officer in the Division of Undergraduate Education at the NSF from 2021-2024. Elise’s favorite part of her work is collaborating with wonderful colleagues and students, and she finds it particularly rewarding when ideas are developed and refined through rich conversations. In her spare time, Elise enjoys cooking, reading, running, traveling, playing games, and spending time with her Ragdoll cats.

Dr. Jean-Francois Maheux, Université du Québec à Montréal

Jean-François Maheux is a professor of mathematics education in the Mathematics Department at the Université du Québec à Montréal. His work focuses on mathematical activity from an epistemological perspective—both historical and philosophical—as well as phenomenological and deconstructive research writing within the field, with a particular interest in research as a subject of research. He holds a doctorate from the University of Victoria (British Columbia, Canada), and his work also includes the use of technology in elementary and secondary mathematics education.

He is co-PI on a collaborative research project involving teacher trainers, pedagogical consultants, and novice teachers, aimed at better understanding and articulating the relationship between pre-service and in-service teacher education. He regularly teaches prospective primary and secondary teachers, as well as graduate courses. Since 2016, he has been an associate editor for the journal For the Learning of Mathematics.

Dr. Rina Zazkis, Simon Fraser University

Dr. Rina Zazkis is a Professor of Mathematics Education at the Faculty of Education and associate member in the Department of Mathematics at the Simon Fraser University, Canada. Her research is in the area of undergraduate mathematics education, with a general focus on mathematical knowledge of teachers, and the ways in which this knowledge is developed, modified, and used in teaching. She holds a position of Tier 1 Canada Research Chair, a prestigious recognition of excellence in research and research training. She served as Editor-in-chief of the Journal of Mathematical Behavior 2021-2024.
