SSU Math Colloquium Presents: Talking About Identity, Equity and Belonging

  • Sonoma State University 1801 E Cotati Ave Rohnert Park, CA, 94928 United States (map)

The Sonoma State Department of Mathematics and Statistics Presents Mary Pilgrim, San Diego State University.

What comes to mind when you think of a mathematician? Do you think all students in your classes have access to the same resources? In this interactive talk I will share two activities intended to raise awareness about identity, equity, and belonging in the mathematics classroom. These activities have been used in professional development for undergraduate tutors and graduate students at multiple institutions and are adaptable for a diversity of audiences. Participants will engage in discussion about these activities, and I will share data gathered from recent uses of each activity.
