Art for Community and Action: Math Educators Cultivating Joy and Solidarity Through Creation

Thursday June 25, 2026 12:45pm - 1:45pm PDT

In this hands-on session, educators will make reflective zines as a creative way to think about their math teaching practices.

Open to early childhood through secondary educators and preservice teachers, this session invites us to challenge oppressive narratives, honor our journeys, and imagine what it means to root mathematics in humanity. As a cohort of Chicago-based mathematics public school teachers and academics, we hope to offer insights in our particular lived experiences during the 25-26 school year as one of the most targeted places in the nation by ICE and the federal government. We particularly invite trans and queer teachers, teachers of color, and disabled teachers and those who occupy the margins to consider coming to this space.
