Rate My Professor Jennifer Hall

Jennifer Hall is a Senior Lecturer in Mathematics Education in the Faculty of Education at Monash University, Clayton campus. She earned her Doctor of Philosophy in 2013 with a thesis titled 'Societal Views of Mathematics and Mathematicians and their Influence on Elementary Students,' exploring elementary students' views of mathematics influenced by parents, teachers, and media. Prior to joining Monash, she was a Post-Doctoral Scholar in Mathematics Education at the University of Calgary, working on the SSHRC-funded 'Mathematics Experiences, Images, and Identities' project, which investigated students' school experiences shaping their mathematical images and identities. At Monash, Jennifer teaches pre-service teachers at primary and secondary levels, preparing them for mathematics and numeracy demands. She co-led a 2020-2021 project for the Department of Education and Training Victoria, creating numeracy lesson plans for secondary curricula, and collaborated with Dr. Sharyn Livy on resources for the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority related to Mathematics Curriculum Version 2.0. Her research centers on students' relationships with mathematics, influenced by in- and out-of-school experiences, with a focus on gendered relationships, gender research methodologies in mathematics education, university mathematics students' program experiences, and pre-service teachers' numeracy views including the LANTITE test. Research areas include maths and science education, gender studies, media studies, qualitative methodologies, and diversity and inclusion, contributing to UN Sustainable Development Goals such as Quality Education and Gender Equality.
