Her research centers on critical and sociocultural perspectives in mathematics education, with a focus on mathematical literacy, classroom discourse, curriculum theory, and the political dimensions of mathematics teaching. She investigates how students experience transitions across educational sectors and how mathematical practices are shaped by social and institutional contexts. Her work often employs comparative methodologies across national systems.

Her recent publications explore critical thinking in STEM, algorithmic justice, the role of mathematics in public discourse, and embodied learning. She has contributed significantly to the Encyclopedia of Mathematics Education and led DFG-funded research on curriculum recontextualization. Her scholarship bridges philosophy, sociology, and pedagogy in education.

• Critical thinking in mathematics education
• Mathematical literacy and numeracy
• Comparative classroom studies
• Secondary-tertiary transition in mathematics
• Discourse and power in mathematics classrooms
• Curriculum theory and recontextualization

She has supervised numerous doctoral students and collaborated internationally, particularly within the Mathematics Education and Society (MES) network. She has organized major conferences and served on editorial boards of leading journals. Her work is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG), reflecting its national significance.
