The Vision of the conference is ‘To celebrate the inspirational contributions of black role models to the field of Mathematics and Mathematics Education’. There will be a balance of technical talks by internationally renowned black speakers that include some detail of career paths and experience to provide a testimonial dimension. We plan to achieve a balance of career stage and gender.
Speakers: Angela Tabiri, Robin T Wilson, Teresa Senyah, Justice Moses Kwaku Aheto, Imoleayomide Ajayi, Flavia Santos, Nathalie Ayi, Kim Sellers
Timings and speakers are subject to change.
There will be tea and coffee served at the start of each day plus each break, and a sandwich lunch will be provided during the lunch break on Day 2 with vegetarian, vegan and fish options available. You are also welcome to bring your own or go out for lunch.
