Shari and I grew so much this season interviewing all these wonderful Asian American Math Educators and getting deep into the model minority stereotype, anti-Asian racism in math, cross Asian solidarity, and food! @cmcmath.bsky.social @todos-math.bsky.social @shari10.bsky.social

Teaching my calculus and pre-cal students about the context of math, including the cultural context, is part of my job. Today, on Day 2 of the 5 days of #Diwali, I introduced the famous art of #rangoli, giving them a chance to choose a pattern to color. #MathEd #ITeachMath #MultiverseOfMathness

Got to head back to Ohio to hood my former student, Dr. Angga Hidayat last week. Always fun to put on these ridiculous robes and see old friends, like disability science educator Tiffany Wild!

Folks going to #AERA2025 in Denver! PLEASE stop by the Reclaiming Denver's Chinatown exhibit on the mezzanine level of concourse C (on your way in or out). It is not one to miss and the local advocacy group (CAPU) has done some phenomenal revitalization work in this space.
