Presentation for the Symposium on BEER November 2020Ethnomathematics: Art, Culture, and Social JusticeJohn R. Jungck1,1Department of Biological Sciences, University of Delaware, Newark, DE 19716jungck@udel.eduTo address the continuing need to engage students with how mathematics can contribute to issues of equityversus equality, civil rights, social justice, and the historical contributions to mathematics from culturesaround the world, ethnomathematics educators have developed numerous educational materials.Activities from a recent first year, general education course which applied mathematics such as fractals,tessellations, cellular automata, groups, symmetries, graph theory, and game theory are illustrated withvarious student projects.I argue that by engaging students in “Brave Spaces” (Jungck and Manon, 2019) with mathematical toolsand data, students will tackle difficult complex issues with minimal professorial facilitation.
