Thu, April 13, 8:00 to 9:30am CDT (8:00 to 9:30am CDT), Hyatt Regency Chicago, Floor: East Tower - Concourse Level, Michigan 2Session Type: Symposium
Abstract
Mathematics has long been a part of public discourse to make political arguments such as making a case for the viability of proposed legislation to the distribution of economic resources, yet little is known about how the nature of mathematics is constructed within these arguments. In this symposium, we examine how mathematics is constructed and how this construction is used in political discourse. The papers include a diverse settings: conservative texts on curriculum, school board meetings, and student submissions to public radio. Attendees will engage in dialogue and reflective writing.
