Francesco Beccuti
PhD, MSc, MA


 After a secondary education focusing on classical languages and history, I completed a bachelor's degree in mathematics at the University of Turin and a master's degree in mathematical logic at the University of Oxford. I then obtained a master's degree in philosophy at the University of Triest and finally a doctorate in mathematics education back in Turin (co-supervised at Stockholm University).

My research interests concern socio-critical aspects involved in mathematics education and connected issues of in(ex)clusion, broadly understood. My empirical studies concentrated on the analysis of (mathematical and non-mathematical) reflections of university students in mathematics, while my more theoretical contributions focused on the analysis of policy documents impacting mathematical instruction internationally. In the long run, I am working to integrate both these directions of research in a comprehensive sociological account of the functioning of mathematics education in schools and universities.

I am currently a full-time researcher in mathematics education at the University of Cagliari in the beautiful island of Sardinia. You can contact me at

I also enjoy creative writing and drawing. I recently published a comic on the history of the Monty Hall problem. Check it out!
