In Episode 11, I engage in a captivating conversation with Audra McPhillips, exploring the critical question: "Is Math a Racist Subject?" Audra, a mathematics instructional specialist and coach, brings a wealth of experience in math education, offering profound insights into how educational systems and teaching methodologies may inadvertently sustain systemic biases.
We delve into the core of how math education is delivered and who gets access to comprehensive math learning. Audra touches on the importance of breaking away from entrenched educational practices that don’t serve all students equally. We explore how math as a discipline transcends cultural boundaries, yet the way it's taught can impact certain student groups, particularly black and brown boys.
Our discussion also covers how certain aspects of white supremacy culture are mirrored in traditional math classrooms, such as the emphasis on perfectionism and a singular approach to problem-solving. Audra highlights the need for valuing diverse mathematical processes and thinking in classrooms.
Join us for this enlightening episode, as we discuss the transformation of math education towards a more inclusive, equitable, and diverse environment, and ponder the crucial role educators play in shaping the math journey of their students.
