What are some concrete examples of micro-level and macro-level injustices in mathematics education in your context?

Consider how these injustices can manifest in curriculum, pedagogy, assessment, or student experiences/

How can recent executive orders or policy changes targeting DEI efforts (macro-level) influence the daily practices, decision-making, and interactions of math educators and students (micro-level)?

How do we navigate it?

I’m thankful for the space to discuss disruption injustice. I work in a place where this is necessary and would be welcome by some, but working through the ideas outside of that environment will help me find strength of purpose.

I really like the notion of "critical hope." We can't let the current climate take our hope away; we can't let them win.

Not responding to injustice should not be an option. Weighing the balance & considering the context helps us be more intentional about the responses that we offer.

I think there is a lot of fear out there and also lack of trust. And this work takes willingness to engage in conversation sometimes with folks with different beliefs than us, and I'm curious to talk more about how to foster that.

.."meaningful and reflective dialogue" resonated with me. We often get stuck dialoguing about the problems and issues, but there is no reflection. True reflection will bring about real change.

I am not currently teaching in the classroom and as I engage with others in the education community I am encouraged by instructors who still continue to share their work and support their learning communities, not chilled by the administration's policy and actions. Standing up strategically is critical. This book study provides a community "Our People", as Esther stated, working for justice. I am grateful to have the opportunity to be part of it.
