What can we learn from historically marginalized math practitioners from an intersectional perspective? How do we translate these findings to the daily math classroom? A 2022 Institute for Social Policy and Understanding poll reported that Muslims experience higher levels of religious discrimination than any other religious groups and that 68% have experienced Islamophobia with higher rates for American-born young adults and women (~80%). In this dynamic, collaborative workshop, participants will apply statistics on Islamophobia through a humanizing and qualitative orientation by engaging in conversation and activities together from a culturally responsive lens. The presenters, both experienced classroom and Muslim teachers, will help participants make connections on how to best support and include Muslim students in humanizing and inclusive pedagogical praxis.
