On October 26-27, 2020, the British Mathematics Societies (British Society for the History of Mathematics, The International Centre for Mathematical Sciences, the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications and the London Mathematical Society) hosted a joint conference, Black Heroes in Mathematics, “to celebrate the inspirational contributions of black role models to the field of mathematics.” One of our renowned mathematics faculty, Professor Nkechi Agwu, Ph.D., (Ethno-mathematician, Carnegie African Diaspora Fellow and Global African Woman of Distinction) was an invited keynote presenter and panelist. Her presentation on “Mathematical Story-telling: Fostering Creativity, Innovation, Gender Equity, Cultural Awareness and Entrepreneurship” together with other interesting conference presentations by black heroes in mathematics and the panel discussions related to diversity, inclusion and empowerment of minorities in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) related fields can be viewed at: https://media.ed.ac.uk/media/1_ly4j7qjf
The focus of her presentation is on the mathematical story-telling of a subset of the Nigerian Women in Agricultural Research for Development (NiWARD) and the mathematical story-telling workshop for high school girls of CHI STEM TOYS Foundation and the Drammeh Institute in facilitating creativity, cultural awareness and gender equity, mainstreaming and empowerment.
