The SACNAS conference is the largest multidisciplinary and multicultural STEM diversity event in the country and serves to equip, empower, and energize participants for their academic and professional paths in STEM. The conference includes research presentations, professional development sessions, motivational keynote speakers, Graduate School & Career Expo Hall, multicultural celebrations and traditions, and an inclusive and welcoming community.
The Casio Education U.S. is proud to sponsor and partner with TODOS in this webinar in a series of webinars focused on “Equity in Education”.
Speaker:
Dr. Filiberto Barajas-López
Associate Professor, Math Education
Director of Indigenous Education Initiatives & Native Education Certificate Program
University of Washington
Webinar Description:
This session will address how racial/ethnic identities are intimately tied to disciplinary identities. Drawing largely from Indigenous contexts, the webinar will draw from historical and contemporary examples to illustrate the ways in which mathematics is produced as a consequence of living relationships with the physical world (e.g. plants, animals and other living things). A goal of this webinar is to interrogate existing frameworks (their affordances and limits) and offer land-based pedagogies as a necessary direction for Indigenous and minoritized learners.

Advocating for Students of Color: There’s More You Can Do is a virtual professional development experience for higher education faculty and administrators who are actively engaged in promoting equity, diversity, and inclusion within the mathematical sciences.
This four-part webinar is anchored in the belief that implementing small changes will compound to create drastic and large-scale transformation. By focusing on how to better advocate for students in your classroom, department(s), institution, and the mathematics community, the organizing team will guide participants to think critically about their practice and discuss concrete changes participants can implement. The goal is to share and commit to implementing changes in a way that is pragmatic, meaningful, and that cultivates cultures in which all students are seen, valued, and validated.

The African Diaspora Joint Mathematics Workshop (ADJOINT) is a two-week summer activity designed for researchers with a Ph.D. degree in the mathematical and statistical sciences who are interested in conducting research in a collegial environment.
The main objective of ADJOINT is to provide opportunities for in-person research collaboration to U.S. mathematical and statistical scientists, especially those from the African Diaspora, who will work in small groups with research leaders on various research projects.
Through this effort, MSRI aims to establish and promote research communities that will foster and strengthen research productivity and career development among its participants. The ADJOINT workshops are designed to catalyze research collaborations, provide support for conferences to increase the visibility of the researchers, and to develop a sense of community among the mathematical scientists who attend.
This program will enhance the mathematical and statistical sciences and its community by positively affecting the research and careers of African-American mathematical and statistical scientists and supporting their efforts to achieve full access and engagement in the broader research community.
Applications for the 2021 Summer ADJOINT program are now open. The 2021 program takes place June 21 – July 2, 2021 in Berkeley, California.
2021 APPLICATION DEADLINE: TUESDAY, DECEMBER 15, 2020
