Herbel-Eisenmann Receives Distinguished Scholar Award
PRIME Director Beth Herbel-Eisenmann accepted the Distinguished Scholar Award from the Special Interest Group for Research in Mathematics Education (SIG/RME) at the 2023 AERA Annual Meeting in April.
This award recognizes the programmatic research of a distinguished scholar within the field of mathematics education who has made major contributions to the broader field of educational research. The selection committee specifically highlighted Herbel-Eisenmann’s contribution in the area of mathematics discourse and augmentation, which has greatly influenced both researchers and practitioners in the field. Her scholarship has had a significant impact on both the field and society as a whole, catering to diverse audiences by adeptly linking theory and practice to enhance the comprehension of the power dynamics and linguistic nuances within math classroom environments.
A colleague of Herbel-Eisenmann at Georgia State University wrote: “Whether she [Herbel-Eisenmann] is collaborating with senior or junior faulty, undergraduate or graduate students, classroom teachers or community members, she maximizes opportunities for all to rethink, to relearn and to grow anew by maximizing opportunities for all to speak, to be heard and to be seen.”
Congratulations to Beth Herbel-Eisenmann on receiving this prestigious award!
