Emerald Stacy serves as Assistant Professor of Mathematics in the Math & Computer Science Department at Washington College, holding a Ph.D. in Mathematics from Oregon State University (2018) with specialization in Number Theory and a minor in Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies.
Her academic credentials include:
- Ph.D. in Mathematics, Oregon State University (2018), Advisor: Clayton Petsche
- M.S. in Mathematics, Oregon State University (2015)
- B.A. in Mathematics, Central Washington University (2003)
Dr. Stacy's research integrates pure mathematics with social equity, focusing on totally $$p$$-adic numbers of small height in Algebraic Number Theory while pioneering inclusive calculus pedagogy to dismantle the 'bad at math' identity among marginalized learners. Her dual expertise manifests in both theoretical publications and transformative classroom practices.
Analysis of her recent publications reveals a cohesive interdisciplinary trajectory: theoretical advances in $$p$$-adic number theory (including degree $$3$$ extensions and dynamical constructions) directly inform her education scholarship, which reframes calculus as a vehicle for social justice through student-designed projects and identity-centered curriculum design.
Her innovative contributions have garnered significant recognition:
- Awarded inclusion in '17 of the Most Innovative Courses of the 2019/2020 Academic Year' for calculus redesign
Dr. Stacy actively disseminates her pedagogical research through conference presentations at venues including the Joint Mathematics Meetings (2019) and Faculty Leadership for Integrative Learning (2018), though specific grant funding or formal advisees are not documented in available sources.
Her teaching portfolio spans foundational courses (Differential/Integral Calculus, Discrete Mathematics) to specialized offerings like Theory of Numbers and 'Genius: Deconstructing Intelligence,' reflecting her commitment to both disciplinary depth and interdisciplinary connections.
