Motivation to Learn OWL-gebra 405 with Katherine Burke

Temple University’s mascot is the owl, and my guest this week is the math queen, my friend Katherine. We met in our Qualitative Analysis class that I took in the Spring of 2023, while I was still teaching as an adjunct, before I started my doctoral program full-time. We would go on to have several classes together each semester. Our friendship is a prime example of where I have found myself - surrounded by folks from completely different life paths but coming together to form a community and learn and grow from one another. For anyone curious about what life is like as a life-long student, lover of math, and engaged marrier who is planning a wedding while in grad school, this episode is for you!

Additional Topics Include:

• Sometimes We Have to go to Plan C, or D, or E
• SMET vs STEM
• What is Developmental Math?
• Content Creation for Fun
• You Can Always Off-Ramp
• The Lack of a Third Space
