"If I'm not allowed to bring every part of me when doing mathematics, maybe that's not equity."

# data[].attributes.body
I agree that diversity and equity has lost their meanings

# data[].attributes.body
The term equity is unclear because of how often it is used

# data[].attributes.body
When important words like "equity" or "diversity" is used too often, I agree with her that it looses it's important meaning and gets lost through time.

# data[].attributes.body
"equity doesn't mean anything anymore" fails to prove dialogue and division.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with her statement that we don't stop to ask everyone what they mean when they say equity so it doesn't always mean the same thing to us all. So what she has in mind compared to what we have might be very different and not do what it's meant to.

# data[].attributes.body
we only address equity when we are far from it - i.e. "there's not a lot of women in this program"

# data[].attributes.body
My definition of equity may be different to someone else, we have to be more aware of that. Because if there isn't one definition then there are so many different forms of equity.

Math is seen as a standard of intelligence in our society

# data[].attributes.body
Comparing the loosely used term "organic" to equity was an A-ha moment for me. The comparison allowed me to further understand how the term equity has possibly lost its power as a word/movement, just as organic has.

Personally, I think "Dehumanizing" may be a little bit extreme. I think it challenges people and can make us feel stupid at time, but I think "dehumanizing" makes this into a different kind of problem than what it is

# data[].attributes.body
Math teachers' actions and criticisms can be dehumanizing to students. Math isn't just a separate topic, it connects to our daily lives.

# data[].attributes.body
"People assume that mathematicians' last names belong to males"

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with her point about the authority rules, I think classes should be run on a mutual respect basis between teacher and student. I think when the power dynamic is too severe, it leads to passive or ineffective learning

# data[].attributes.body
"Some students have this idea that all you need is a head to do math...but how do we remind ourselves that math is a human endeavor"

# data[].attributes.body
I agree that people automatically assume men are the ones behind theories learned about in classes. This goes back to the gender inequality seen not only in STEM fields, but in every aspect of life.

Words are being over used that they start to lose their meaning or people don't take them as seriously.

I really agree and like how she points out and asks people how math has been "Dehumanizing for them." As all the people have been mentioning math isn't what causes that, it's usually the teachers or people associated with math that feels "dehumanizing" for them because how they treat others because of it.

# data[].attributes.body
Math has made me feel dehumanized, whether it was a teacher who didn't understand or help me, or my peers who made me feel dumb, or just the struggle I always had with the concept of a math subject which I thought validated my stupidity. I don't want to ever feel this way about math ever again much less for my students, so I can't wait to change that perspective I have on it.

# data[].attributes.body
There is a lack of interest in making math a creative task in the way ELA is. It made me think about how maybe the most creative math I ever did was multi-step word problems.

# data[].attributes.body
Authority is so important, and to be on the same page as your students and have a common understanding with each other only benefits both the student, and teacher.

# data[].attributes.body
Gutiérrez said that not only do we need to encourage people from different backgrounds to come into the math field, but we also want them to ask new questions, and I completely agree with this.

"Rehumanizing instead of Equity"

"Everyone is mathematical."

"you must be smart"
People think that those who are good at math is because they are smart. However, I think this idea should change because everyone is smart and everyone is capable of doing any type of mathematics.

"Why is it that we set up our society so that mathematics measures intelligence"

# data[].attributes.body
I was never good at mathematics:)

# data[].attributes.body
I have always called my self stupid because I cannot do math, even though I am an honor roll student in every other subject. The speaker said that we measure intelligence by how well you are in math, and I do this to myself!

"Mathematics is operating with an unearned privilege in society"

Re- humanizing also means recognizing what's around us not just accepting it as is

# data[].attributes.body
She stated that some people experience trauma from their math learning experience and wish they could go back and retake some math classes. I think that trauma is a strong word for this concept, similar to how equity has lost its meaning, it is important to not overuse the word 'trauma'. It is possible that students could experience negative effects from how they learned math, but I don't think there is a large amount of people who are traumatized from learning math.

"I alone don't get to decide what is 'rehumanizing' for other people"

# data[].attributes.body
What are some specific examples of HOW we can figure out what works to rehumanize math for our students?

# data[].attributes.body
We should switch gears as assuming mathematicians are usually males, and think females as well.

# data[].attributes.body
Allow students to come up with new forms of mathematics.

How do we "Rehumanize" with things that need to be learned in ways that may not make students feel creative, or require specific steps to complete

I agree that with social media and cell phones now, that we can add lots of important onto something that we know people are going to take a picture/screenshot that they can later go back and breakdown what is written and understand it at their own pace and understanding
