Exploring Social Justice Math Education: Recognizing and Navigating Privilege with Dr.Kari Kokka & Michelle Cody

In this podcast episode, a discussion with Dr. Kari Kokka an Associate Professor of Mathematics Education and co-host of the Critical Math Drop podcast and Michelle Cody, a mathematics and literacy teacher and co-host of the Critical Math Drop podcast explores the concept of social justice math education and how it expands the traditional curriculum to investigate social injustices using dominant mathematics. We pose questions on their co-authored article on “Educational Facials”: A Healing Tool for the Beautiful Struggle as they also dive into the concept of educational facials, analyzing one's climate situation and much more. Strategies for applying these concepts in pre-service teacher education are shared, including the importance of mentorship and diversifying knowledge and resources.
