coe-staff: Mathematics Educator Candidate: Luis Leyva Colloquium Thursday 1/14 at 11 am

[Lisa Fortin]

Dear Colleagues,

Education Studies will be hosting three candidates for a Mathematics Educator position in the coming weeks.

Our first candidate, Luis Leyva, will be offering a colloquium and a teaching simulation. He is completing his doctoral work in Mathematics Education at Rutgers University and is the recipient of a Spencer Dissertation Fellowship..

Colloquium
when: Thursday, Jan 14 from 11-12
where: HEDCO 230T

Title: "Mapping the margins [in mathematics]":  Examining the gendered and racialized intersectionality of mathematics experiences among marginalized undergraduate student populations

Abstract:
Research on gender in mathematics education has undergone significant methodological and theoretical shifts over the years.  Despite these advances, there remains analytical space for more nuanced explorations of gender by way of intersectional analyses that consider how other vectors of identity (e.g., race, class) shape gendered experiences in mathematics.  This presentation reports on findings from a phenomenological case study that examined the mathematics experiences of four first-year African American and Latin@ college women pursuing math-intensive majors at a large, predominantly white university.  The study used post-structural theory as well as intersectionality (Crenshaw, 1991) from critical race theory and Latin@ critical race theory to explore the mathematics counter-stories of these four historically marginalized Women of Color in negotiating their identities with gendered and racial as well as intersectional discourses of mathematics ability.  A cross-case analysis documented institutional and interpersonal sources of these discourses as well as the Women of Color's strategies in navigating them as mathematics students.  Implications are raised for P-16 mathematics teacher educators and STEM support program coordinators to broaden opportunities for African Americans', Latin at s', and other marginalized groups' construction of positive mathematics identities at intersections of gender and race.

Teaching simulation
