Kate Le Roux is an associate professor at the University of Cape Town, South Africa. Her scholarship is located in the interplay of languages, literacies, and mathematics in STEM knowledge making, in transitions to and through higher education. Using critical thought in mathematics education within the socio-political and socio-ecological, languages and literacies, and decolonial thinking, she is curious about issues of equity, access, justice, (re)design, relations, and place. This extends to investigating the geopolitics of global knowledge making in mathematics education, including the language practices thereof, and a deep commitment to democratising knowledge. In the areas of STEM education and higher education, Kate has co-edited several journal special issues and regularly reviews journal and conference submissions. She serves on the Editorial Board of Teaching in Higher Education. Contact: kate.leroux@uct.ac.za
