Priyanka Agarwal is an Assistant Professor at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, focusing on Curriculum Instruction. Her research aims to construct broader views of mathematical learning by drawing from interdisciplinary fields including learning sciences, sociocultural anthropology, and the history and philosophy of mathematics. Using micro-ethnographic design-based research approaches, her work centers around the design and analysis of mathematical thinking and epistemic practices in collaborative settings, exploring the entanglement of structural power and the sociocultural dimensions in how people learn. Agarwal is particularly interested in student engagement and inquiry, designing mathematics learning environments, and how concepts of epistemological diversity and justice intersect in her work. She is currently admitting graduate students to collaborate on various projects and encourages prospective doctoral students to reach out for discussions on research interests.
