Episode 4: Equity in Mathematics with Dr. Lisa Lunney Borden
May 25, 2022 Season 1 Episode 4

In this episode, we chat with Dr. Lisa Lunney Borden about equity,  culture, & identity  in  mathematics.  We also dive into mathematical understanding through models & manipulatives while focusing on the importance of beginning with a verb based approach so that we are creating opportunities for all of our students to learn.

Lisa is a local mathematics education hero, a professor of mathematics education at St. Francis Xavier University here in Nova Scotia & holds the John Jerome Paul Chair for Equity in Mathematics Education.   Lisa's experience of teaching grades 7 through 12 mathematics in a Mi'kmaw community has shaped how she thinks about teaching & learning mathematics.

Lisa shares her story as a mathematics teacher & learner and her commitment to research & outreach that focuses on decolonizing mathematics education through culturally based practices and experiences that are rooted in Indigenous language and knowledge systems.
