Julia Hill

Dr Julia Hill is a Lecturer in mathematics and numeracy education at the University of Melbourne. Leveraging her background in teaching and educational psychology, Dr. Hill's research bridges the gap between positive psychology and science, technology, mathematics and engineering (STEM) education. She explores the power of positive emotions, strengths, and flourishing in STEM teaching and learning. Her doctoral research led to a conceptualisation of a ‘mathematical wellbeing’ framework, which is now used internationally to understand ways to cultivate positive feelings and experiences in mathematics education. A passionate advocate for translating research into practice, Dr. Hill collaborates with STEM teachers to develop strategies to support flourishing mathematics and science classrooms.
