Dr. Mary Reid is an assistant professor of mathematics education at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE) at the University of Toronto. She has published research in the areas of math content knowledge of elementary pre-service teachers, math anxiety in the classroom, the gender gap in STEM, and building efficacy for math teaching. Her most recent study critically examines the gender and race gaps in math performance, specifically the intersectionality of being female and of colour. Minority females are vastly under-represented in all STEM fields and Mary’s research attempts to uncover the barriers women of colour face as math learners. Her research and findings would be of interest to those seeking to enhance math teacher education through building math capacities of pre-service and in-service teachers.
