A history of mathematics course with focus on underappreciated contributions from marginalized groups sounds potentially interesting to me. This page seems scant on details though.
- finite_jest 5y agoThat is an extremely generous framing for this kind of courses. You are right that there are not a lot of context/details in the submitted course description. Here's some information I could find about the the course's instructor: Her name is Piper Harron, and she is the kind of person who thinks all white men "almost certainly should resign" from their positions or get a demotion, voluntarily. [1] She has a "liberated" résumé, and looking at that, I'd say it is fair to characterize her as a professional victim [2]. Based on that, I think it is not hard to imagine what the contents of the course would be. I wish I had access to the syllabus so I could see if it indeed looks as one imagines.
