I also consider how our constructions of what counts as \u201ccontext\u201d shapes our pedagogical values and practices. Then, as an example, I explore how attention to aesthetics and aesthetic practices might offer an alternative to container and nesting metaphors for learning contexts. Specifically, I examine how a focus on aesthetics might better surface the embodied, affective, and value-laden dimensions of mathematical activity and learning, illuminating different dimensions of \u201ccontext\u201d that may be treated as salient. I argue that this example of a more expansive treatment of context has the possibility to transform our understandings of how nondominant learners agentically\u00a0recruit and assemble repertoires of practice and identity resources for their participation in and across diverse activities.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<h5><strong>September 22, 2023<\/strong><\/h5>\n<h6><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/17fxQIR464PY814uCg4QtvEOoCWIIjyndaNgEFnJE1g0\/edit?usp=sharing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dr. Nicole Louie\u00a0 &amp; Chundou Her<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLSemES8uZNxsh0Jn28whbQEb9es-p0DBzezlWzHE1jr0Yb8Rjw\/viewform\"><span class=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-41 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/lab.dev.vanderbilt.edu\/stemedseminar\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/205\/2023\/09\/DTL-STEM-Ed.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"222\" height=\"289\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lab.dev.vanderbilt.edu\/stemedseminar\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/205\/2023\/09\/DTL-STEM-Ed.jpg 4641w, https:\/\/lab.dev.vanderbilt.edu\/stemedseminar\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/205\/2023\/09\/DTL-STEM-Ed-231x300.jpg 231w, https:\/\/lab.dev.vanderbilt.edu\/stemedseminar\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/205\/2023\/09\/DTL-STEM-Ed-768x999.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lab.dev.vanderbilt.edu\/stemedseminar\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/205\/2023\/09\/DTL-STEM-Ed-787x1024.jpg 787w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 222px) 100vw, 222px\" \/><\/span><\/a><\/h6>\n<p><em><span class=\"\">A feast to feed thousands: Asian American cultural wealth toward justice in math education<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"\">What would it be like to treat building racial justice in math educ<\/span><span class=\"\">ation as if it could only be done with and by marginalized students and families?

Scholars have argued that the elevation of practices creates openings for advancing equity in science education. In contrast, some have argued that overemphasizing core practices in teacher education pushes issues of equity and justice to the margins. These tensions are elucidated through the work of a collective of high school science teachers, community organizers, youth, and university-based scientists and teacher educators. Within the context of this collective, this talk shares two studies that began with the broad question: what kind of professional learning supports in-service science teachers to facilitate classroom projects using Youth Participatory Science (YPS) to address environmental racism? The first study describes how teachers learned to consider critiques of the scientific enterprise while designing curriculum for YPS projects. Through teacher-solidarity co-design (Philip et al, 2022), the second study documents an expansive shift towards prioritizing historical context and argues for a redefinition of the relationships between educational research and teacher professional learning. The implications of this work include new models for co-constructing professional learning agendas with teachers and others involved in campaigns for educational justice.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>November 17, 2023 <\/strong><\/h5>\n<h6><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fikilenxumalo.com\/\">Dr. Fikile Nxumalo, Associate Professor OISE<\/a><\/strong><\/h6>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.google.com%2Fforms%2Fd%2Fe%2F1FAIpQLScGWX9axoGXac9O4_s4GfJjL0Oer8L4d3ilNdM4fL0fgni74w%2Fviewform%3Fusp%3Dsf_link&amp;data=05%7C01%7Cnatalie.a.de.lucca%40VANDERBILT.EDU%7C72361b7603344b05cdde08dbe1fe6ab7%7Cba5a7f39e3be4ab3b45067fa80faecad%7C0%7C0%7C638352255076746189%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=tO8kl5z5eMhQSqROoSfz0Ar3XKe%2B4OL4tjx6YMQEj6o%3D&amp;reserved=0\">RSVP for In-Person Attendees (<span style=\"font-size: small\">Wyatt 050-3 from 12-1:30 <\/span>)<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><em>Thinking with Black ecologies as pedagogical and research orientations\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-50\" src=\"https:\/\/lab.dev.vanderbilt.edu\/stemedseminar\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/205\/2023\/11\/DTL-STEM-Ed-Nov17-785x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"377\" height=\"492\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lab.dev.vanderbilt.edu\/stemedseminar\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/205\/2023\/11\/DTL-STEM-Ed-Nov17-785x1024.jpg 785w, https:\/\/lab.dev.vanderbilt.edu\/stemedseminar\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/205\/2023\/11\/DTL-STEM-Ed-Nov17-230x300.jpg 230w, https:\/\/lab.dev.vanderbilt.edu\/stemedseminar\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/205\/2023\/11\/DTL-STEM-Ed-Nov17-768x1001.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 377px) 100vw, 377px\" \/><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">Black ecologies are filled with possibilities as research and pedagogical modes of inquiring into Black people\u2019s relations with the more-than-human world, in particular spaces and places.
