Creating Balance Conference – Conference on Math Education and Social Justice

Next CBUW Conference: Global Pandemic Given the global pandemic (and of course its associated health risks as well as the extra labor we as grassroots organizers are experiencing in our teaching) we do not currently have a date for our next conference. Please feel free to check this website and/or subscribe to our email list for updates. We hope to be in community with you soon. Thank you for your understanding, and we hope you and yours are safe and healthy.
Warmly,
CBUW Organizing Team

Conference organizers were recently featured on the Abolition Science Podcast:

In this episode, we speak with the organizers from the Creating Balance in an Unjust World (CBUW) conference. This was CBUW’s 9th conference bringing together educators, parents, students, activists and community members to explore the connections between STEAMM (science, technology, engineering, arts, mathematics, and making) education and social justice. The program was held at the University of Hawaii at Manoa in January 2020.

The Creating Balance in an Unjust World Conference began in New York City in 2007 to provide resources for social justice math educators
