Roxanne Moore

“There is no such thing as a neutral education process. Education either functions as an instrument which is used to facilitate the integration of generations into the logic of the present system and bring about conformity to it, or it becomes the ‘practice of freedom,’ the means by which men and women deal critically with reality and discover how to participate in the transformation of their world.” — Richard Shaull, drawing on Paulo Freire

 Curriculum Vita

Short Bio

Roxanne Moore is a doctoral student in the Mathematics and Science Education program in the College of Education at Washington State University.

Ms. Moore’s work seeks to critically examine and productively expand the revolutionary action necessary to engage in the people’s vocation, the humanization of all. Her areas of expertise include rehumanizing mathematics, criticalmathematics education, critical race theory, values/valuing in mathematics in Hawai’i, implementations of critical pedagogy, complexity theory in mathematics education, pragmatist epistemologies, and mixed methods research.

Ms. Moore received her M.Ed. in secondary education with an emphasis in mathematics from Chaminade University of Honolulu, and a BA in Law, Letters, and Society with a minor in African & African-American Studies from the University of Chicago. Ms. Moore is a former secondary mathematics teacher and K-8 school leader.
