Francesco Beccuti
PhD, MSc, MA
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.
I am currently a tenure-track researcher in mathematics education and history of mathematics at the University of Trieste. You can message me at the address

I also enjoy creative writing and drawing: I published a comic on the history of the Monty Hall problem.
