Featured Sessions

Advocacy Lunch: Thursday

Disability Justice in Mathematics Education: Perspectives, Frameworks, and Implications for Practice 

Presenters:

 

Rachel Lambert

University of California Santa Barbara

 

Katherine Lewis

University of Washington

Daniel Reinholz

San Diego State University

Lisette Torres-Gerald

TERC

Honora Wall

The Dyscalculia Training and Research Institute

Cathery Yeh

University of Texas at Austin

Description:

This webinar will consist of a panel of researchers discussing their work in disability justice as it relates to mathematics education. The panel represents a wide range of foci across the spectrum of disability including dyscalculia, universal design for learning, and intersections between race and disability. By integrating insights from the panelists’ diverse areas of expertise we will engage attendees in a wide-ranging discussion on disability math education, addressing challenges, sharing best practices, and advocating for inclusive educational policies and practices.

 

Judith Jacobs Lecture: Thursday
Navigating Oz: My Journey with Three Essential Companions

Presenter:

Dorothy Y. White

University of Georgia

Description:

For many, the road to a career as a mathematics teacher educator is clearly paved and the journey is exciting and welcoming. For others, the path is rocky and the journey is confusing, scary, and lonely. Using The Wiz and the Wizard of Oz as metaphors, I share how my journey began with a commitment to equity in mathematics, the triumphs and challenges along the way, and the importance of traveling with my three companions. I end the presentation with paths the field must travel to unveil racism in our current educational landscape and how intellect, compassion, and courage will be necessary to reimagine a more humanizing and just mathematics education for every student, preservice teacher, classroom teacher, mathematics educator, and researcher. 

Judith Jacobs Lecture: Friday
Drawing lessons from history as we navigate the present: Learning from Mathematics Educators who navigated the U.S. Civil Rights Movement

Presenter:

Robert Berry

University of Arizona

Description:

This presentation utilizes the oral histories from the Teachers in the Movement project to delve into the ideas and teaching methods of mathematics educators during the U.S. Civil Rights Movement, both within and beyond the classroom. Through the accounts of these educators, we gain insight into how their teaching, curriculum, and community involvement served as impactful forms of activism that contributed to the movement. This presentation will challenge us to draw lessons from history as we navigate the present.

2025 Karen D. King Excellence in Advocacy Award

Congratulations to Julia Aguirre, the recipient of the Karen D. King Excellence in Advocacy Award.

No more long-game: Replacing academic apartheid with math joy and justice now!

Presenter:

Julia Aguirre

University of Washington

Description:

After 25 years as a critical equity scholar in mathematics education, I’ve noted limited progress in dismantling structures that harm and dehumanize students’ math identities, agency, and advancement, especially for global majority students underrepresented in STEM. We must rethink our advocacy approaches to end academic apartheid in mathematics education now! In this interactive session we will explore examples on how to organize and take immediate action in our work as mathematics teacher educators to dismantle interlocking systems of oppression including racism, sexism, classism, and ableism. Our goals: End academic apartheid and cultivate joy and justice in mathematics education forever.
