Eugenia Vomvoridi, Associate Professor
September 25, 2018
Eugenia Vomvoridi is an Associate Professor in Mathematics Education and the undergraduate mathematics program coordinator at USF. She has always made equity and social justice a priority in research, teaching, and service. 鈥淚t is my professional, social, and personal responsibility to help current and future mathematics teachers, teacher educators, and mathematics education researchers deepen their knowledge base about mathematics learning and teaching, work productively and with sensitivity in schools that serve diverse communities, and advocate mathematics education for all students.鈥
Her research agenda focuses on an under-researched area in the field of mathematics teacher education, namely Culturally Responsive Mathematics Teacher Education (CRMTE). Vomvoridi defines CRMTE as teacher education that: a) is responsive to the needs and capitalizes on the funds of knowledge of culturally diverse mathematics (pre-service and in-service) teachers, and b) seeks to prepare culturally responsive mathematics teachers who will advance the education of students whose linguistic and cultural backgrounds have not traditionally been recognized as resources for mathematics learning. Vomvoridi has been identified as being among the leading experts in the U.S. on CRMTE. Her work has been recognized for its rigor and originality and has been cited extensively.
