Judit N Moschkovich

Judit N Moschkovich is a Distinguished Professor of Mathematics Education in the Department of Education at the University of California, Santa Cruz. Her research employs socio-cultural frameworks to investigate mathematical thinking, discourse practices, and bilingual learners' experiences in mathematics education. She is internationally recognized for her work on equitable teaching practices for English Language Learners (ELLs) and the role of language in mathematical learning.

Her research interests include mathematical discourse, bilingual education in mathematics, and conceptual change. Notable contributions include studies on bilingual students' use of multiple languages in mathematical discussions and frameworks for integrating language and content in mathematics instruction. Moschkovich has authored influential books such as Language and Mathematics Education and Latinos/as and Mathematics Education.

Her publications analyze classroom interactions, focusing on how inscriptions (e.g., graphs) mediate mathematical discussions and how hybrid language resources support learning. She emphasizes the need for instructional practices that simultaneously develop mathematical proficiency, discourse practices, and academic literacy.
