Mathematising Social Issues to Imagine a Different World
Can mathematics be used to imagine alternative approaches to problematic social issues? Dr. Sean Chorney propose that mathematising aspects of our social world can help us not only identify hidden problems, but also formulate alternative conceptions of their causes and possible solutions. This talk will report on my study of teaching high school mathematics classes on the topic of gerrymandering, as a demonstration of how mathematics can raise awareness and imagination.
Walking Alongside my Relations: A Transdisciplinary Exploration of Interconnectedness
At this critical juncture in time, difficult conversations are inevitable. How may educators and students courageously participate in dialogues with authenticity and vulnerability?
