MA - Math in Society (CIHS) B / 0.5

THIS IS A DUAL ENROLLMENT CLASS, YOU CAN RECIEVE HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE CREDIT

The goal of this class is to explore mathematics from an Ethnic Studies lens where we:

  • examine our own (and ancestral) Identities and Agency as mathematicians,
  • understand the origins and indigeneity of mathematical thought and problem solving,
  • recognize and challenge the power and oppression that has presented itself in mathematical language, data manipulation, and informational gatekeeping
  • find ways to use mathematical learning as a tool for resistance and liberation, and create plans for action moving forward.
