PCMI 2024 Workshop on Rehumanizing Mathematics

January 2024 Notice: We regret that the Workshop on Rehumanizing Mathematics will be postponed until summer 2025 due to unforeseen scheduling conflicts. Please contact pcmi@ias.edu if you have any questions.

Postponed until summer 2025 - Park City, Utah

2024 Organizer: Rochelle Gutiérrez, University of Illinois College of Education

Participants will further develop their understanding of equity (identity & power issues) in mathematics and consider how to expand our goals to rehumanize mathematical experiences for those with whom we engage.  In this workshop, we will explore different perspectives/theories, reflect on our own practices, learn from experts in the field who have been altering their practices, and create our own action plans for work we intend to carry out after the workshop ends.

Ideal participants will include mathematicians, mathematics teachers, and mathematics education professors who have a specific project upon which they would like to focus.  For example, you may have in mind a course you would like to alter in some way; a new initiative to launch; a summer camp or bridge program; a professional development or teaching activity to update; or simply a new way to think of assessments or evaluations.  By the end of the session, you will leave with a more developed action plan and feedback from others so you can put your best foot forward in your future work. 

Participants who are invited to participate in the Workshop receive the following support from PCMI: travel allowance up to $600 for travel scheduled through the PCMI travel agent; private lodging for the duration of the workshop; informal breakfast and catered lunch on weekdays, the opening reception on July 8 and casual suppers TBD; a $500 stipend for full participation in the Workshop.
