Faculty of Science Dean’s Seminar Series with Kori Czuy
As part of our Faculty of Science Dean’s Seminar Series, please join us in welcoming Kori Czuy, PhD Candidate from the University of Calgary, Werklund School of Education.
Her presentation, entitled “(Re)weaving frayed connections: the depth of science and mathematics knowings within Indigenous stories” will explore the journey towards ethno (mathematics) through Indigenous ways of knowing. Ethno (mathematics) makes space to reconnect the human with mathematics. This is a relationship that requires a reconnect after been lost or overlooked when imperialism and colonialism began to promote a mathematics that prioritized the abstract and focused on learning and truth as acquired through generalization and categorization. Kori is using story as a way to reignite lost connections between humans, the land, community, and mathematics. Her research brings together students with Elders and community to experience the depth of knowledge within stories of land and culture, creating more relatable and holistic connections to the math and science that surrounds us all.
