23) "Mathematics for Human Flourishing" (Dr. Francis Su)
<p>In this final episode of 2022, I'm honored to close out the calendar year with <strong>Dr. Francis Su </strong>as he opens up about his personal math journey, his book <strong>"Mathematics for Human Flourishing"</strong>, and his desire for schools and teachers to adopt an inclusive vision for mathematics. To learn more about Dr. Su's work, you can visit his website at <strong>francissu.com</strong> or you can follow him on <strong>Twitter (@mathyawp)</strong>. </p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>BIO: Francis Su</strong> is the Benediktsson-Karwa Professor of Mathematics at Harvey Mudd College, and former president of the Mathematical Association of America. He received his B.S. in Mathematics from the University of Texas at Austin and his Ph.D. from Harvard University. His research is in topological and geometric combinatorics and applications to the sciences, including game theory, voting theory, and the mathematics of fair decisions. He has co-authored numerous papers with undergraduates. He also has a passion for teaching and popularizing mathematics through writing and public engagement. His work has been featured in Quanta Magazine, Wired, and the New York Times. From the Mathematical Association of America, he received the 2018 Halmos-Ford award for mathematical writing, and the 2013 Haimo Award for distinguished teaching of college-level mathematics. Three of his articles have been featured in Princeton Press' Best Writing on Mathematics in 2011, 2014, and 2018. He authors the popular Math Fun Facts website and is creator of “MathFeed,” the math news app. His book <strong>Mathematics for Human Flourishing</strong>, published by Yale University Press, won the 2021 Euler Book Prize.

22) "Combating Anti-Blackness in the Math Classroom" (Dr. Nickolaus A. Ortiz)
<p>In this episode, I had the honor of welcoming <strong>Dr. Nickolaus Ortiz</strong> to the podcast to share his personal math journey, the ways in which anti-Blackness manifests itself in the math classroom, and so much more! To learn more about Nickolaus, you can follow him on <strong>Twitter (@ProfessuhNAO)</strong> and <strong>LinkedIn</strong>. </p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>BIO: Nickolaus Ortiz</strong> earned his doctorate in curriculum and instruction with a focus on mathematics education from Texas A&M University in 2018. Following graduate work, he served as a post-doctoral research associate at Michigan State University and is currently a tenure track assistant professor in the College of Education & Human Development’s Department of Middle and Secondary Education. Ortiz is a mathematics teacher educator and researcher whose research interests deal with Black/African-American students and the impact that teachers have on these students’ performance and appreciation for mathematics. He is very much interested in how ontological Blackness is manifested and/or stifled during high-quality mathematics instruction that involves, for example, teaching for conceptual understanding and utilizing mathematics discourse, as well as identifying new and innovative ways for Black children to demonstrate the mathematics proficiency that already exists within. His scholarship deals with these issues, centering the brilliance of Black children in mathematics as an irrefutable reality. Ortiz is also a musician and loves everything from Gladys Knight to J. Cole, and utilizes music and Black vernacular in his approach to culturally relevant mathematics pedagogy.</p>
