This free, virtual event is being put on by Racial Justice in Early Math
Centering the Brilliance of (Im)migrant children is set to be an engaging conversation between Drs. Olimpia Bahena (Chicago Public Schools) and Melissa Adams Corral (University of Texas – Río Grande Valley) about issues of immigration and their interconnections with racial justice in early mathematics education.
The guest speakers will draw from decades of experience working closely with (im)migrants from diverse backgrounds to:
discuss some of the complexities that newly arrived children and families navigate while adjusting to new educational systems and social configurations;
talk about how educational institutions are addressing (or not) pressing structural challenges to create math learning environments and experiences that are worthy of (im)migrant children; and
highlight ways in which U.S. early math professionals and institutions can learn from (im)migrant children and families as they bring rich math experiences that center play, storytelling, and community.
This is a timely opportunity to engage with a racial justice perspective on issues of immigration as they relate to early math teaching and learning.
