Math Education and Social Justice Conference

Join educators, parents, students, activists, and community members
from around the country for a 3-day conference to explore the
connections between math education and social justice. "Creating
Balance in an Unjust World: A Conference on Math Education and Social
Justice" will explore many questions, challenges, and opportunities to
work toward social justice through math education. We invite you to
share your thoughts, lesson plans, questions, and to be a facilitator
for a workshop, interest group, or presentation. Facilitators may also
choose to present on topics related to math and social justice (i.e.
equity in education, literacy and social justice, etc.). Sessions need
not be entirely polished presentations as we hope to share ideas in
order to build together.
We are looking for people to: present a session, register as a
participant, volunteer for planning or at the conference, host a table
as an organization or vendor, or donate financially or in-kind.
