Assistant Professor of Mathematical Sciences
Andrew Gatza is a former middle grades mathematics teacher who attended IU-Bloomington and IUPUI for Ph.D.’s in Mathematics Education and Urban Education Studies. He has studied issues of mathematical teaching and learning as well as systems of power and oppression, and broadly situates his research interests in social justice mathematics problems of practice. His current research works with algebra students and uses a quantitative and combinatorial approach to investigate racial bias in jury selection, with a focus on the mutually supportive relationship between mathematical learning and critical race consciousness.
