AWM to host Inclusivity Speaker

March 7, 2018

The AWM (Association for Women in Mathematics) Student Chapter is pleased to announce that Dr. Nicole Joseph of Vanderbilt University will be coming to give a talk on inclusivity. Information on this talk can be found below.

Title – I DO (NOT) Belong: Experiences of Black Women and Girls in Mathematics Education

Speaker – Nicole Joseph, Vanderbilt

Abstract – The experiences of Black women and girls in mathematics is an
understudied line of inquiry. We know very little about how they experience mathematics teaching and learning. The aim of this interactive talk is to problematize and interrogate the current circumstances surrounding Black women and girls in mathematics that deny them access, power, participation, and opportunity to develop their mathematics identity.

Date/Time – Thursday March 8th at 5 pm

Location – Kinard 101

Bio – Dr. Nicole M. Joseph is an assistant professor of mathematics and science education in the department of Teaching and Learning. Dr. Joseph was a 2014 National Academy of Education/Spencer Post-Doctoral Fellow and her research interests include mathematics education and equity from an intersectional perspective. She primarily studies Black women and girls, their identity development and their experiences in mathematics and mathematics education. She also studies the role of race, class, gender and
other socially constructed identities in mathematics identity development as well as the history of mathematics education of African Americans (1837-1957).
