Matthew Voigt

Matthew Voigt serves as an Assistant Professor in the Program in Mathematics Education (PRIME) at Michigan State University, where he teaches CEP/MTHE/TE 954: Design and Methods Math Ed Res from his office in C104 Wells Hall. His research centers on equity and inclusion in undergraduate STEM education, with specific focus on LGBTQIA+ student experiences, systemic change in mathematics departments, and co-equitable partnerships for low-income transfer students. As a first-generation college student and Queer researcher from rural Minnesota, he integrates lived experience into scholarly work.

His primary research domains include:

• Mathematics Education reform through critical pedagogy
• Intersectional analysis of marginalized student identities
• Ethical research methodologies with LGBTQIA+ subjects
• Data-driven approaches to departmental change
• Student-faculty partnerships for equity-focused transformation

Analysis of his 2023-2025 publications reveals consistent emphasis on queer student navigational strategies in mathematics, active learning conceptualizations in reform contexts, and innovative data visualization for DEI monitoring. His work bridges quantitative critical analysis with humanizing qualitative approaches, particularly in Norwegian-American comparative studies of first-generation students and STEM identity development.

Scientific Awards: None documented in available materials.

Dr. Voigt's advising activities and grant funding mechanisms remain unspecified in source texts, though his extensive publication record and multi-institutional collaborations (including Norway-based projects) suggest active mentorship of graduate researchers and external research support. His leadership in ethical LGBTQIA+ research methodologies indicates significant contributions to evolving IRB standards for marginalized populations.

Current initiatives examine nepantla tensions in change groups, identity resources of queer-spectrum mathematics students, and dashboard-driven DEI interventions in introductory math sequences, though no formal laboratory or dedicated research center is referenced.
