SELECTED PUBLIC LECTURES, PEDAGOGICAL WORK, AND OUTREACH

International:

In addition, I have given over fifty radio, television, newspaper, and journal interviews to the media in Cambodia, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Germany, Hungary, Mexico, Nicaragua, Peru, South Africa, Thailand, and Vietnam on topics such as women in science and mathematics across cultures, human rights in Central America, the history of women in mathematics, gender and science in the "third world," the activities of the Kovalevskaia Fund, cross-cultural perspectives on sex education.

I have also given over thirty-five workshops and demonstration classes on innovative techniques for (gender- and culture-sensitive) mathematics instruction at the middle school level (grades 6-9) for teachers, student-teachers, and students in Belize, Chile, El Salvador, Malawi, Mexico, Peru, Puerto Rico, South Africa, Vietnam, and Zimbabwe (normally but not always with Mike Fellows and/or Neal Koblitz).

National:

In addition, I have twice appeared on the radio show "Math Medley," and been interviewed in USA Today, The Seattle Times, and local newspapers and radio in upstate New York as well as ASU’s State Press.

Institutional:

Normally, I give between 4 and 10 guest lectures a year in classes at ASU, the University of Washington, and wherever I happen to be giving an invited talk. Most often, the classes are in Women’s Studies or Mathematics (History of Mathematics, Gender and Mathematics, and Mathematics Pedagogy courses), but I have also presented in Physics, Biology, History of Science, and International Development classes.

Community:

Normally, I give five to ten presentations a year for church groups, schools, and community organizations such as the Audubon Society, Amnesty International, the Humanist Society, the YWCA, Sister City Programs.
