Active learning classrooms are designed to encourage collaboration and engagement, but they can also be places where microaggressions occur and affect the sense of belonging for students and faculty. In this meeting, we’ll explore what microaggressions look like in math classrooms and how they impact the learning environment. I’ll share a simple theoretical framework to help us think about how we respond to these moments and invite everyone to reflect on their own experiences. Together, we’ll work toward strategies for fostering more inclusive and supportive spaces for everyone. This will be an open, welcoming conversation, and all are encouraged to join.
We’ll also take some time to discuss getting started in math ed research, e.g. planning a study or finding and applying for grants.
