Social and Racial Justice Advocacy - Webinar
Friday, February 5, 2021
2:00pm-3:30pm via Zoom
Presented by Dr. Nicole Joseph.
Join with your colleagues as we continue our journey as advocates for racial and social justice. We are fortunate to begin this semester with a presentation by Dr. Nicole Joseph, an Assistant Professor of Mathematics and Science Education at Vanderbilt University and co-editor of Interrogating Whiteness and Relinquishing Power: White Faculty's Commitment to Racial Consciousness in the Classroom.
Dr. Joseph is also the founder of the Tennessee March for Black Women in STEM, an event held every fall which seeks to bring together the Tennessee community to raise awareness of the gendered racism Black women and girls experience in STEM. Her research explores two lines of inquiry, (a) Black women and girls, their identity development, and their experiences in mathematics, (b) Whiteness, White Supremacy and how it operates and shapes underrepresentation of Black women and girls in mathematics. Dr. Joseph's work has been supported by the National Science Foundation and the National Academy of Education/Spencer.
This workshop is available to CNSM staff and faculty. Check your email for the Zoom link. For questions, please contact Margaret Karteron.
