ICTM Fall 2024 Conference

The MathMemeTeam uses popular culture and internet memes to explore and push against mathematical tropes that have been dispelled time and time again. "Asians are naturally good at math" or "women cannot do math" have proven to be inaccurate socially constructed themes, yet still exist across the internet in mathematical internet meme (MIM) form. In this session, we will explore five such tropes and discuss how you can help push back against these flawed perspectives.
