Co-Integrate Mathematics Seminar: April 19th
You are cordially invited to attend the Co-Integrate Math Seminar Series talk on Monday, April 19, 2021 from 12:00-1:00 pm. Higinio Dominguez will give a presentation titled The desire to do research: Where does it come from?
Monday, April 19, 2021
12:00-1:00 p.m.
Abstract: In this presentation, I will invite participants to follow me as I narrate in words and images my transition from colonial, imperialist research practices to creating knowledge with knowers. As part of this transition—which I see as continuous and liberating—I will discuss multiple powerful forces that have contributed to reinvigorate my eyes, ears, and all my senses, leading me to find my desire to do research in mathematics education desde adentro; that is, from inside the practices and wisdoms that I am trying to make sense. Two research projects, one recently completed and one that starts this Fall, will serve as important referents for gauging the intensities of my desire to do research. Participants are strongly encouraged to bring to this informal conversation insights, experiences, questions, wonderings, and contributions related to their desire to conduct research in education.
Bio: Higinio Dominguez is an associate professor in the Department of Teacher Education
at Michigan State University. In his research, Higinio conceptualizes the mathematics
classroom as a vibrant ecology in which life-giving forces meet and diffract. His
methodological and analytic approaches focus on following the new patterns and ways
of knowing that emerge from these beautiful diffractions.
Co-Integrate is a speaker series, jointly sponsored by the CREATE for STEM Institute and the Program in Mathematics Education, designed to support internal networking among colleagues in the College of Natural
Science, College of Education, and K-12 school partners interested in the teaching
and learning of mathematics in K-16 settings. This series features talks by MSU faculty
and graduate students who are working on projects to improve math teaching and learning
at MSU and in Michigan more broadly.
The Co-Integrate Seminar Series welcomes local K-12 teachers and administrators to
all of its events.
