In this episode, we chat with Dr. Lisa Lunney Borden about equity, culture, & identity in mathematics. We also dive into mathematical understanding through models & manipulatives while focusing on the importance of beginning with a verb based approach so that we are creating opportunities for all of our students to learn.
Lisa is a local mathematics education hero, a professor of mathematics education at St. Francis Xavier University here in Nova Scotia & holds the John Jerome Paul Chair for Equity in Mathematics Education. Lisa's experience of teaching grades 7 through 12 mathematics in a Mi'kmaw community has shaped how she thinks about teaching & learning mathematics.
Lisa shares her story as a mathematics teacher & learner and her commitment to research & outreach that focuses on decolonizing mathematics education through culturally based practices and experiences that are rooted in Indigenous language and knowledge systems.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
