To help reimagine strategies for teaching and learning mathematics, reconsider the role of mathematics in society, and reckon with the complicity of the American mathematical community in racial injustice, members of that community focus on what they can do, assessing and reassessing some of their often unstated professional norms. Among their topics are toxic mentorship and the academic savior complex, congressive question time, fiber bundles and intersectional feminism, turning coffee into unions: mathematics and collective bargaining, and universities in the time of climate change. The nine papers are from a September 2019 workshop in Baltimore. Annotation ©2021 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
