Creating Equitable Informal Mathematics/STEM Learning Environments: Addressing Racial Injustice and Underrepresentation

Thu, April 11, 2:30 to 4:00pm, Pennsylvania Convention Center, Floor: Level 100, Room 109B

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

In response to the Call to Action of this year’s theme for imagining spaces free of racial injustice and increased attention to informal spaces, this proposal symposium gathers papers from scholars who have made significant contributions to informal mathematics/STEM learning environments in community or neighborhood settings for individuals from underrepresented communities (e.g., race, gender). By bringing together these educators from various backgrounds and institutions, the symposium creates a space for meaningful discussion and knowledge sharing. These invited scholars will present their informal learning programs and share their research findings which will shed light on using informal learning settings to address eradicating racism, and other forms of oppression.
