That's a wrap on #PMENA 47 at Penn State. I had a great time, and many invigorating conversations.
I love cranberry cocktail on the flight home. My drink of choice up in the air.

Had a great conversation with Megan Staples (UConn) at #PMENA about her team's "math for democracy" high school activities. Coming out soon... but this article sort of gives a preview.

I'm presenting at the top of the hour in room 107. What can anti-conspiracy theory research tell us about teaching mathematical reasoning?

#PMENA Monday Plenary
Shraddha Shirude talks about all the threads running through her work as a math educator, and she also says that sometimes, as a teacher, she is only hanging on by a thread.
I'd love if there's some live messaging from #PMENA. Thanks for starting it, Sam!
#PMENA Opening Plenary
@bwozolek.bsky.social and Peter Appelbaum spoke about some harms caused by school math but also pointed out that many math educators trying to address the inequities are only succeeding in making themselves feel good about their efforts. It's actually reinforcing the problem.
#PMENA is about to get underway in the beautiful autumn setting of mid-Pennsylvania.
Our first session is on teacher circulation at 8:00am.
