Kristyn Lue is a Postdoctoral Research Associate with the Pullias Center for Higher Education at the Rossier School of Education, where she works with Julie Posselt in the Equity in Graduate Education Resource Center on a research study of disciplinary societies’ diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts. Additionally, as Project Coordinator for the Inclusive Graduate Education Network (IGEN) Research Hub, she supports the translation of research to make the social science of equity accessible to STEM practitioners. Her work sits at the intersections of mathematics education, higher education, and racial equity. More specifically, she foregrounds critical theoretical perspectives to examine systemic and structural influences on mathematics socialization and identity development, particularly in relation to the consolidation and reproduction of power and prestige along racialized hierarchies in the STEM fields. Kristyn earned her Ph.D. in Mathematics Education from the University of Maryland, College Park, where she was a Fey-Graeber Fellow in the Center for Mathematics Education and a 2023 Ann G. Wylie Dissertation Fellow.
