Deadly Math: Movement, Kinship & Action

We were grateful to speak with CHRIS MATTHEWS of the Quandamooka People in modern day Queensland Australia about his realization about the importance and depth of culture & country within mathematics, iron mines and nuclear testing highlighting land rights and Aboriginal voices, don’t hike Uluru!, deadly coders, numbers as a process and action, kinship systems as group theory and algebra, and how to close the educational gap by walking together.

Honoraria from this episode was donated to ATSIMA (Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Mathematics Alliance).
