About the event:
An Arithmetic Touch: New Digital Approaches to Mathematics Learning with Dr. Nathalie Sinclair


This lecture is part of the President’s Faculty Lecture Series. 

Join Dr. Sinclair as she discusses her design of touchscreen technologies that extend the mathematical reach of learners. This work draws on diverse bodies of knowledge ranging from neuroscience on the neurofunctional between finger and number processing, to materialist and feminist philosophies refusing mind-body dualisms that undermines the role of fingers, hands and their gestures in thinking. These insights help us imagine new storylines about mathematical learning that break with the all-too-common trajectory leading from confident and curious children to mathematically anxious, benumbed and disempowered adults. 

Volunteers for this event will support general event logistics.
