About the event
This event is part of the Centre for Teaching, Learning and Curriculum's Seminar Series for summer 2025, taking place across teaching block 3.
Host: Centre for Teaching, Learning and Curriculum (TLC)
Speaker: Associate Professor Kate le Roux (University of Cape Town) and Professor Alf Coles (University of Bristol)
In this seminar we will invite participants to explore and share, for their domain(s) of interest in education, the positionings of that domain in multiple, intersecting, social, political, and ecological issues such as climate change, poverty, inequality, health crises, discrimination, and marginalization.
Specifically, “What do the world’s socio-ecological challenges mean for that domain? What might my domain mean for those socio-ecological challenges?”
These are questions we are exploring in the domain of mathematics education; we will share and reflect on our current learning and invite discussion of these questions more broadly.
