In Episode 5, I am joined by Adrienne Baytops-Paul for a compelling exploration of the query: "Is Math a Racist Subject?" Adrienne, with her extensive background in math pedagogy, brings forth an enlightening perspective on the accessibility and representation in math education. The episode navigates through the importance of culturally responsive teaching and the significant role of educators in shaping student perceptions and experiences in math.

Throughout the conversation, we delve into the challenges faced by black boys in the educational system, addressing the concept of adultification and its impact. Adrienne shares her transformative approach to 'detracking' in math education, promoting a more equitable and inclusive learning environment. We also touch upon the power of language and representation in math textbooks and how these elements can either alienate or empower students.

This episode is not just an academic discussion; it's a transformative dialogue that sheds light on the nuances of math education and its broader societal implications. Join us in this enriching episode as we explore how mathematics can be a tool to develop humanity and bring about systemic change in education.
