    Dr. Brian R. Lawler is an associate professor of mathematics education in the Bagwell College of Education and currently serves as director of the Center for Innovation in STEM Education Research.

    Dr. Lawler's scholarship focuses on equity issues in mathematics  education, in particular the ways in which power and knowledge intertwine to govern the learner's mathematical identity. This interest leads him to seek to understand the ways such students make sense of the school, classroom, and teacher contexts, and how these knowings may interact with their mathematical identities.

    During his 25+ year career as a mathematics educator, he has supported teachers, schools, and districts to de-track mathematics instruction and transform teaching practices.
