Prestigious Rutherford Discovery Fellowship

Congratulations to Dr Jodie Hunter (co-director of CeRME) who was 1 of 11 national recipients of the prestigious 2919 Rutherford Discovery Fellowships. Announced by the Royal Society Te Apārangi, the fellowships seek to support New Zealand’s most talented early-to mid-career researchers to accelerate their research careers in Aotearoa. Situated with DMIC, CeRME’s major equity-focused professional learning and development programme, Jodie’s research project will document the mathematical experiences of diverse learners outside of school, including home and community settings, through student and parent use of photography and video recording. Her project will create a framework for equitable mathematics teaching practices that promote social norms around respect, collaboration, and cultural inclusion for diverse students.
