Thursday Evening Keynote Address

Asian American/Canadian & Pacific Islanders (AACPI) Visibility and Invisibility- Creating Space of Learning and Unlearning

Thursday, November 18, 2021
7:05 – 8:30 PM

This session brings visibility to the contributions of AACPI communities, leaders, and mathematics educators. Asian Americans/Canadians and Pacific Islanders are often an “add-on” in conversations about race and racism in mathematics education. This session centers the Asian American/Canadian and Pacific Islander perspective/experience and brings to light the untold histories and stories of our contributions and marginalization in US schools with the goal of building on these experiences to shape the work we do as equity-oriented mathematics educators.

The 2020 NCTM Lifetime Achievement Awards will be presented to Rita Janes and Karen Karp at the Thursday Evening Keynote.
