Culture, Women’s Stories, and Creativity in STEM FIG

This faculty Interest group (FIG) stems from the Carnegie sabbatical and National Mathematics Centre/Federal University of Akure, Nigeria Project of Professor Nkechi Agwu. Moreover, it is geared towards supporting faculty interested in indigenous African knowledge systems to engage in research, curriculum development, teaching research, and assessment related to science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM) of indigenous Africans.

To that end, interested faculty will collaborate on writing research-based articles for publication in peer-reviewed journals and in soliciting for grant funding to support their research within this FIG, as well as facilitate workshops that will provide professional development to faculty interested in using curriculum developed to teach various courses at the Borough of Manhattan Community College or elsewhere using pedagogy based on culture, women’s stories, and creativity in STEM.

This FIG is open to all faculty and will meet every third Wednesday of the month from 4:00 pm to 5:30 pm in the CETLS Room.

Please contact Nkechi Agwu, Thierry Agbotouedo, or Emmanuel Paki (Mathematics faculty) for more information about this event or FIG.
