Melva R. Grant (she/hers/ella), an ODU Professor of Mathematics Education, Graduate Program Director for the Mathematics Specialist Program focused on developing inclusive teacher leaders who value socially justice. Her overarching research is about broadening participation in STEM for underrepresented people. She engages in self-study research (SSR) to improve her teaching practice, evidences her teaching excellence, and bolsters her resilience in the academy (e.g., Grant, 2019; Grant & Butler, 2018). Her SSR began by focusing on customizing simulation technology to develop mathematics teacher efficacy for using discussion after problem solving for mathematical sense-making for effective equitable mathematics teaching (Grant & Ferguson, 2021). Her research expanded to include examining critical friendship development, its characteristics (Kastberg & Grant, 2020), and qualitative trustworthiness (Grant & Lincoln, 2022) and methodology.
