Curriculum Vitae Chronaki Anna

Anna Chronaki works at the University of Thessaly in Greece. and holds a chair at the University of Malmö in Sweden. She has studied mathematics at the University of Patras in Greece and has undertaken her postgraduate studies in educational technology and mathematics education at the University of Bath in the UK with scholarships from the Greek State Scholarship Foundation and the Esther Parkin Trust. Her research evolves around philosophical, anthropological and political issues of mathematics education and works with theories from cultural studies, discourse theory and philosophy of scientific knowledge. Her current research interests include discursive and non-discursive aspects of the pedagogy of mathematics including corporeality, body, identity, affect and language-use in processes of learning, An important part of her work focuses on studying mathematics learning as a matter of dialogicality and as a space for hybridising or queering essentialist identities, hegemonic discourses and political issues of (non)citizenship. She values as important her work with student-teachers. Her work has been published in national and international journals, edited volumes and conference proceedings. She has edited two books, one of which entitled  'Challenging Perspectives in Mathematics Communication' has been published in 2005 from IAP (Information Age Publishing Inc. USA) and the second one with the title ‘Mathematics, Technologies, Education: The gender perspective’ by the University of Thessaly Press. She has considerable experience with funded research projects and has been active with the international community 'Mathematics, Education and Society’ and has organised the MES 9 at the University of Thessaly http://mes9.ece.uth.gr/portal/index.php. She has also worked for CERME in the Thematic Groups Mathematics & Language (until 2016) and the Social, Cultural and Political Aspects of Mathematics Education (until now). Over the years she has developed and organised the research unit LeTME: Learning Teachnologies and Mathematics Education.
