Also, I'm in Halifax for a while! Anyone doing interesting Math Ed/education work that I should meet?

Enjoying this book more than I thought I would as someone who already follows AI bias closely.

I've seen Dr. Buolamwini's TED talk & Coded Bias doc, but a whole book gives the ideas & examples more space to breathe.

Great primer for non-tech folks too.

The last 2 episodes of Radiolab are some of my favourites.

They're about math, but the parts of math I like best: the human experience of doing math, the way people use math as a kind of refuge from the world & also how people build community around it.

1st episode:

Numbers
Love 'em or hate 'em, you rely on numbers every day. We ask how they confuse us, connect us, & even reveal secrets about us.

Hey Blue sky community 👋🏾

I'm looking for recommendations for learning opportunities, retreats, workshops, fellowships, etc., for 2024.

I really want to be in community with critical educators.
