She studies these issues in urban settings, drawing on design-research methodologies. She currently teaches undergraduate mathematics and is a former teacher of mathematics at the middle and high school levels.
Joanna Masingila studies students' out-of-school mathematics practice and teacher development. She was a Fulbright Scholar at Kenyatta University in Kenya in 1998 and is the director of a partnership project with Kenyatta University that is funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) under the Africa—U.S. Higher Education Initiative.
