    CURRICULUM VITAE: DISTINGUISHED PROFESSOR KERRIE MENGERSEN FAA, FASSA, QAAS School of Mathematical Sciences, Queensland University of Technology (QUT) ARC Centre of Excellence for Mathematical & Statistical Frontiers GPO Box 2434, Brisbane Australia [email protected] Background Statement Kerrie Mengersen graduated with a Bachelor of Arts (Honours Class 1), majoring in Mathematics (Statistics) and Computing, and a PhD in Mathematical Statistics from the University of New England, New South Wales. Her PhD thesis was on the topic of ranking and selection under the supervision of Professor Eve Bofinger, one of the pioneer female university researchers in regional Australia. Following graduation, she was recruited by Richard Tweedie to Siromath Pty Ltd, a commercial statistical consulting company, with whom she worked for two years in Sydney and Perth. This position afforded her strong experience in a wide range of statistical methods in the context of diverse applied problems. Her career since then has been characterised by a dual focus of engaging with and developing new statistical methodology motivated by, and motivating, challenging statistical applications. In 1989 Dr Mengersen was invited to join the inaugural academic staff of Bond University. In 1990 she took up a position as Lecturer and then Senior Lecturer at Central Queensland University, and was part of the team involved in transforming the then Institute to a University. In 1993 Dr Mengersen accepted an invitation by Professor Richard Tweedie as a Visiting Associate Professor position at Colorado State University. It was during this time that she started active research in Bayesian statistics, in collaboration with Dr Tweedie, Professor Julian Besag and Dr Christian Robert.

  • Mind the Gap: How Economically Disadvantaged Students Navigate Elite Private Schools in Ontario
    MIND THE GAP: HOW ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED STUDENTS NAVIGATE ELITE PRIVATE SCHOOLS IN ONTARIO by William George Peat A dissertation submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Leadership, Higher and Adult Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto © Copyright by William George Peat 2020 MIND THE GAP: HOW ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED STUDENTS NAVIGATE ELITE PRIVATE SCHOOLS IN ONTARIO William George Peat Doctor of Philosophy Department of Leadership, Higher and Adult Education University of Toronto 2020 Abstract “Mind the gap” is a qualitative study rooted in the sociology of education, dealing with educational inequality in Canada. It asked: what is the experience of working-class students in elite secondary schools, and are the benefits of achieving social mobility worth the costs? In a country whose populace has long seen itself as middle class, but where social inequality is a growing concern and social mobility increasingly rare, the study examined the journey of three working-class students seeking to become upwardly mobile by attending elite private schools in Ontario. The study examined their experiences, and employed a combination of semistructured, in-depth interviews, and follow-up conversations. It also drew on relationships that formed as a result of them, as well as on the researcher’s knowledge of the culture of the schools the students attended. In addition, it drew upon the lived experience of the researcher, who shares similar elements of the participants’ socioeconomic background. The data produced was used to develop literary and visual portraits. The process was collaborative and enabled the participants to become co-creators in the creation of their portraits, which were subject to analyses.

DESCRIPTORS *Calculus; Change Strategies; College Curriculum; *College Mathematics; Curriculum Development; *Educational Change; Educational Trends; Higher Education; Mathematics Curriculum; *Mathematics Instruction; Mathematics Tests ABSTRACT This document, intended as a resource for calculus reform, contains 75 separate contributions, comprising a very diverse set of opinions about the shap, of calculus for a new century. The authors agree on the forces that are reshapinc calculus, but disagree on how to respond to these forces. They agree that the current course is not satisfactory, yet disagree about new content emphases. They agree that the neglect of teaching must be repaired, but do not agree on the most promising avenues for improvement. The document contains: (1) a record of presentations prepared fcr a colloquium; (2) a collage of reactions to the colloquium by a variety of individuals representing diverse calculus constituencies; (3) summaries of 16 discussion groups that elaborate on particular themes of importance to reform efforts; (4) a series of background papers providing context for the calculus colloquium; (5) a selection of final examinations from Calculus I, II, and III from universities, colleges, and two-year colleges around the country; (6) a collection of reprints of documents related to calculus; and (7) a list of colloquium participants.
