MES13 Keynote Speaker

Charting a Path for Indigenous Perspectives in Mathematics Education

 

description

University of Washington-Seattle


Drawing largely from my own engagement as an Indigenous educator with experiences in Indigenous and Non-Indigenous contexts for learning and teaching, the talk will address key moments of Indigenous resurgence and attend to critical tensions that can be generative to the field of mathematics education. More specifically, I will discuss how Indigenous ways of knowing and doing can shape the work of mathematics educators towards ends that prioritize sustainability, climate change and the overall restoring of relationships between humans and the natural world.
