Join us for two events, brought to you by Punahou School’s Davis Democracy Initiative, featuring Rochelle Gutiérrez, professor of Curriculum and Instruction at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, activist, luminary and self-proclaimed "frequent user of creative insubordination.”

Gutiérrez will be joined by Linda Furuto ’97, professor of mathematics education at the University of Hawai’i at Mānoa, founder of the first Ethnomathematics Graduate Program in the United States and 2023 Obama Foundation Global Leader.

Dr. Gutiérrez’s scholarship focuses on issues of identity and power in education, paying particular attention to how race, class, and language affect teaching and learning. Through in-depth analyses of effective teaching/learning communities and longitudinal studies of developing and practicing teachers, her work challenges deficit views of students who are Latinx, Black, and Indigenous and suggests that educators need to be prepared with much more than just content knowledge, pedagogical knowledge, or knowledge of diverse students if they are going to be successful. They need political knowledge.

Each guest must register separately.
