Career and Research

Price was a 2013 MAA Project NExT fellow.[5] She is currently an Associate professor at Smith College. She previously held similar positions at the University of San Diego[6] and West Point (United States Military Academy).[7]

Price is one of the founding organizers of the Underrepresented Students in Topology and Algebra Research Symposium (USTARS) whose inaugural meeting was in 2011. This annual symposium is a multi-day event that features the research of algebra and topology graduate students as well as providing career and professional development opportunities.[8] In 2017, Price is one of four mathematicians that started the website Mathematically Gifted and Black, for which she was awarded the 2022 Presidential Recognition Award[9] of the Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM). Coinciding with Black History Month, every day in February they highlight the life and works of modern-day black mathematicians.[2] She co-delivered an invited plenary address at the 2021 National Math Festival.[10] She will deliver a Mathematical Association of America (MAA) invited lecture at MathFest 2021.[11]
