What Do We Mean When We Talk About "Social Justice" and Math?
About This Webinar
As increasing numbers of teachers, schools, and organizations talk about justice and/or equity in mathematics, it’s becoming increasingly clear that often, they mean very different things when they use these words. This session will explore several common conceptions of social justice in math along with their power and their limitations, and offer some complementary, less common conceptions. We’ll examine a few case studies of teachers’ efforts to bring some aspect of social justice into their classrooms, and consider what these cases teach us about what social justice can mean, and what teachers can do. Presented by Grace Chen.

The Global Math Department began as a group of teachers who knew each other through Twitter, math education blogs and Twitter Math Camp. Since 2012 The Global Math Department community has grown into a multi-faceted group of math educators who love to share their ideas related to teaching and learning mathematics. We recognize that as educators we are charged with promoting equity and access within mathematics instruction. In addition, we believe it is crucial that teachers be provided with quality resources and ideas that they can use immediately with their students. Lively and friendly conversations in our weekly webinars encourage all participants to share and continue to grow as educators.
