Dubbs Featured in Math+Art Exhibit
Christopher Dubbs, 2020 Mathematics Education Doctoral graduate, is not only an assistant
professor of mathematics, but now also a featured artist at East Stroudsburg University
(ESU). An image of the citation data from his dissertation is featured as part of
a Math+Art installation currently in the Madelon Powers Gallery at ESU. The exhibit Math+Art is available now through October 21, and showcases work by several ESU mathematics
faculty members.

An excerpt from the press release is included here:
Dubbs has used arts-based research methods to generate art from data. His original
piece “What have we wondered?” is a visually stunning representation of citation relationships.
By drawing over 15,000 citation connections between over 5,000 references in the field
of mathematics education research, this impressive 19.5’ foot image invites the viewer
to ask “What have we [as researchers] wondered?”, that is, what has constituted the
focus of the field of mathematics education research? While this image approaches
art in the aesthetic sense, it also remains a utile data representation: these 15,000
connections and 5,000 references are available as part of a suite of fully-interactive
data representations on the companion website: MathEdAtlas.org.
Congratulations, Chris!
