    The purpose of the Journal Club is to introduce participants to Mathematics and Statistics Education research by providing an opportunity to read, present, and discuss some noteworthy papers in the field. The primary intended audience is the graduate student and faculty member interested in starting research on education topics, and needing familiarity with the education literature.

    The purpose of Group Meeting is to informally share research and ideas related to the teaching and learning of mathematics and statistics in our department and beyond. This meeting is also intended for faculty and interested graduate students, with the focus on advancing our own inquiry in mathematics education issues.
