Edited Book Project
In our CARMA Education and Equity research group we are working on putting together an edited book on the topic of “Indigenising University Mathematics”. The aim is to help us all, as a community, develop our thinking and our shared knowledge. Tentatively, the book is organised around the Conference themes, with possibly some extras. We are in discussions with a potential publisher.
