Our Speakers
 |
Keynote: Ciarán Mac an Bhaird |
| Ciarán is an Assistant Professor and Director of the Mathematics Support Centre at Maynooth University. He was appointed to his roles in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Maynooth University in 2007. He has received multiple awards in recognition of his teaching and support of students, recently including a national 2016 Teaching Hero Award, an inaugural Maynooth University Teaching Award in 2018 and a History in Mathematics Education Award in 2021 from the British Society for the History of Mathematics (BSHM). He was a founding committee member of the Irish Mathematics Learning Support Network and is Education Officer on the BSHM Council. Most of his research focus is on mathematics education and in the history of mathematics, but he still dabbles occasionally in Algebraic Number Theory. | |

Keynote: Professor Rachel Hilliam |
|
Rachel is a Professor of Statistics at The Open University where she has held various leadership roles. In 2019 whilst Director of Teaching for Mathematics and Statistics, she introduced a new degree in Data Science which had over 400 students across the UK in its first year. She is an expert in teaching statistics at higher education level to adult students who do not necessarily have standard university entrance qualifications. Her learning and teaching interests include supporting students who are studying statistics as part of a non-mathematical qualification and exploring the different types of statistical anxieties which such students can exhibit. She has a strong interest in supporting colleagues’ teaching activities and has delivered the statistics session for the national induction course organised by the IMA and was one of the founders of the teaching and learning mathematics online, TALMO, initiative. Rachel is currently Vice-President of the RSS, leading on its Professional Affairs activities. Since 2020 she has been working with other professional societies, government organisations and industry to explore the professionalisation and accreditation of Data Scientists, a project of national importance, included in the Government’s data strategy. This work resulted in the formation of The Alliance for Data Science Professionals, which Rachel chairs. This alliance is creating industry-wide professional standards and a certification process that will enable both individuals and education providers to gain recognition based on skills and knowledge within Data Science. |

Plenary: Joe Kyle, University of Birmingham |
|
Formerly Director of Undergraduate Studies for the School of Mathematics at the University of Birmingham, Dr. Joe Kyle then acted as an Advisor in Mathematics to the (then) newly established STEM Education Centre at that institution. He has also spent time as an Academic Associate in Mathematics, Statistics and Operational Research (MSOR) with the Higher Education Academy. For many years, he was Editor in Chief for the Higher Education Academy Journal MSOR Connections and sat on the Editorial Board of the Oxford University Press Journal Teaching Mathematics and its Applications. A pure mathematician by background, Joe has also worked for the Open University and engaged in a number of mathematical education projects with colleagues there. Joe has, in partnership with Peter Kahn, edited Effective Learning and Teaching in Mathematics and its Applications. In collaboration with many sigma colleagues he is also a co-editor of Transitions in Undergraduate Mathematics Education. Joe is regularly invited to contribute to national and international conferences and regularly delivers (with others) workshops on teaching and learning for new and experienced UK academics. Current interests include problem-solving in MSOR, flexible learning, and working with students as partners. |

Our Duty of Care
We look forward to welcoming you to Dundee for the CETL-MSOR 2022.
View our Duty of Care Plan (opens as pdf document)
This document contains resources and key information about what we are doing to keep delegates attending the event as safe as possible.
We will update with any new information leading up to and including the event.
Our Sustainability Pledge
We recognise the importance of taking care of the environment and the environmental impact of hosting a conference.
Read our Sustainability Pledge and what measures we have adopted for CETL-MSOR 2022.
In lieu of conference delegate bags, a charitable donation of equivalent monetary value will be made to a local charity working to encourage numeracy in young children.
Winning Scotland support teachers across Scotland to develop and embed a growth mindset culture in the classroom – with a strong emphasis on maths. From speaking to and surveying hundreds of teachers and thousands of pupils around the country, we have learned that a significant number of children in Scotland are uncomfortable doing maths.
That’s why ‘mindset maths’ is our most popular professional learning programme. Developed in partnership with Dr Jo Boaler of Stanford University, our mindset in numeracy programmes support education professionals to understand and tackle the challenges their colleagues and pupils encounter in maths.
Check out www.winningscotland.org to learn more.
Venue - Abertay University
A warm welcome awaits you! The conference is being held in Abertay University.
Abertay University is one of two public universities in the city of Dundee, Scotland. In 1872, Sir David Baxter, 1st Baronet of Kilmaron, left a bequest for the establishment of a mechanics' institute in Dundee and the Dundee Institute of Technology was formed in 1888. Its journey of over 130 years continues to equip the future workforce of the world. Explore more about our heritage.
