The Math and Research CoP sessions are starting again, and our first one this term will be held on Wednesday, February 16 from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 pm (EST). 

Topic: The Definition of a Mathematician

Speaker: Rosalie Belanger-Rioux, Mathematics and Statistics Department, McGill University

Description: In this interactive workshop, participants will reflect on what we think it means to be a mathematician, who is seen or counted as a mathematician, what causes this, and how that affects our communities of learning, teaching and research in mathematics. If you would like to explore those issues, come and find out!  Be prepared to discuss some potentially difficult topics. 
 
This meeting will be presented via Zoom. This Zoom meeting link will also be posted to the Math and Research CoP Teams channel.

Dates and topics:

Important information:

• This workshop will involve psycho-education and experiential portions. There will also be lots of opportunities for interaction between participants.
• The room will be locked at 10 minutes after the session has begun as we do not have time to review curriculum for late arrivals.
• Students can come for as few or as many of the workshops as they would like.
• Students will be asked to keep their video on as interaction is a huge part of this group (involves break out groups and skill practice).
• If students are interested, ask them to email rose.anthony@humber.ca for the virtual link.

Please promote to your students: 

• Post about the Healthy Minds for Stressful Times Workshops on Blackboard (view attached poster).
• Make an announcement about Healthy Minds for Stressful Times workshops at the beginning of class.

Please join us for the Humber Cultural Hub Town Hall over Microsoft Teams. Updates on project design and development, as well as programming plans will be shared.
