Indigenising University Mathematics 3
6-8 November 2024 at La Trobe University & online
"We know mathematics is as old as creation because we find it in our creation stories: first there was no one, then there was one, then there were two, and so on. We know mathematics permeates our life because we find it in our art, our culture, our games, and our ceremonies."
Keynote speaker
This year, IUM3 will be cast around the visit to the Australian continent of A/Prof Edward Doolittle, who will share understandings he has come to around Creation, Indigenous Mathematics, and the Intersectional spaces in which we attempt to Indigenise Mathematics.
Note: the morning sessions (and one afternoon satellite event) will also be available online (using Zoom).
