Building bridges and the cost of (math) wars

Yvonne Lai (University of Nebraska)

Tue Mar 18, 16:00-17:00 (9 months ago)

Abstract: It can be easy to silo ourselves with those that think "like us". This is the opposite of what we want to do if we want to be better educators. In this talk, I will make a case for the value of building bridges in mathematics education. Along the way, I will discuss recent work that examines the cost of uncivil discourse in mathematics education. I will close with questions to consider for the community of those who wish for the improvement of mathematics education.
