  1. Shifting the Conversation from Equity to Rehumanizing Mathematics: Why Do We Need This? Rochelle Gutiérrez, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Brian Katz, Smith College Marrielle Myers, Kennesaw State University A Panel Discussion at Park City Mathematics Institute, Park City, Utah, July 5, 2019.

  2. Is Equity Still a Useful Term? • Equity bogged down with history • Often fails to promote dialogue/visioning • Everyone thinks they are talking about the same thing • Only know we are addressing it when far away • Tends to privilege a universal or whitestream view (e.g., all students) • Need a new angle to examine a long term problem that is moral, not technical Gutiérrez--PCMI 2019

  3. THINK-PAIR-SHARETake a minute to think about a specific mathematical experience that felt alienating, marginalizing, or dehumanizing to you, a peer, or a student

  4. Why Rehumanizing? • Honors our history • Addresses politics of teaching and politics of mathematics (e.g., unearned privilege, arbitrariness, emperor not wearing any clothes, White supremacist capitalist patriarchy) • Not just a decoupling (from wealth, dominance, compliance) but a recoupling (with connection, joy, belonging) • Verb because action-oriented, ongoing, performance, future-focused • Seeks evidence from populations served • Could rename it decolonizing, but only under certain conditions (e.g., mathematx, see Nov. 2017 issue of Philosophy of Mathematics Education Journal) Gutiérrez--PCMI 2019
