Antiracist Reading Group

In a racist society it is not enough to be non-racist, we must be anti-racist. –Angela Davis

This is the home page for a reading group in the Purdue math department focused on antiracism, generally in the world at large and specifically in the realms of math and math education. We strive to maintain an inclusive atmosphere for open discussion, personal growth, and active exploration. Total beginners to antiracism are especially welcome, and you don’t have to complete every reading every week to participate.

We mostly organize via our mailing list which you can join here or by contacting Patrick DeBonis.

In Spring 2023 we are meeting every Thursday in Math room 215 at 4:30. Please feel free to join us, even if you have never come before.

Next meeting February 16

We will discuss chapters 5 and 6 of Practices and Policies,

We will also finish More Than Just Skill: Examining Mathematics Identities, Racialized Narratives, and Remediation Among Black Undergraduates by Gregory Larnell and discuss a new reading Urban Mathematics Education as a Political and Personal Project by Gregory Larnell and Danny Bernard Martin.
