Spring 2021 PD 2

Thursday, June 3rd 10:00 am – 12:00 pm

 

Current events have called for us to take action in order to ensure equity and inclusion in online learning. Through the lens of decolonization, this session takes action by examining our roles as mathematics educators. In this session, we will present literature and create a space to critically discuss issues of equity and inclusion in math. By reflecting upon assumptions built through a colonized system of mathematics, we hope participants will become more aware of the challenges faced, allowing us to respond more sensitively and mindfully in our future work.
