Math Ed Colloquium
The Lappan-Phillips-Fitzgerald Mathematics Education Colloquium Series
During the academic year the Program in Mathematics Education sponsors a Mathematics Education Colloquium Series. This series consists of talks about research in mathematics education by both faculty members from MSU and scholars from other institutions in the United States and abroad. Past speakers from outside MSU have included Arthur Bakker, Erika Bullock, Marta Civil, Brent Davis, Paul Dawkins, Elizabeth de Freitas, Maisie Gholson, Rochelle Guiterrez, Patricio Herbst, Jennifer Langer-Osuna, Luis Leyva, Peter Liljedahl, Kevin Moore, Judit Moschkovich, Darryl Yong, and Maria Zavala.

Colloquium talks are open to faculty and students interested in mathematics education. New and prospective graduate students are encouraged to attend. Others from outside the MSU community with an interest in research in mathematics education are also welcome. The schedule, flyer and videos (as they become available) for the current semester are listed here, along with a link to the schedule and videos of previous semesters.
