Sikunder Ali
About
Fulbright Fellow at The State University of New York (SUNY) at Buffalo USA (1st August 2024-June 30, 2025) where I will further research: Critical Engagement with Algorithms with a Positioning Theory Perspective https://fulbright.no/subhomemenu/current-fulbrighters/current-norwegian-fulbrighters/)
I teach mathematics education. I bring with me a background in mathematics education, applied mathematics, and philosophy. I research the relation between mathematics and democracy, learning of mathematics within situations of diversity, sustainability and mathematics education, algorithms and social justice issues, and proof and argumentation processes involved in learning and teaching of mathematics.
