The TODOS: Mathematics for ALL Podcast explores the intersection of mathematics education, social justice, and identity. Season 4 brings in new hosts, Theodore Chao and Shari Kaku, to amplify the voices of educators, activists, and community leaders who challenge traditional norms and reimagining math education as an inclusive and humanizing practice. Season 4 focuses Invisibility & Hypervisibility in Mathematics Education: An Exploration of Asian American and Pacific Islander Mathematics Identities. Hosts Theodore Chao and Shari Kaku, both Asian American mathematics educators, engage with guests in deep, narrative-driven conversations that challenge conventional narratives and stereotypes, like the model minority myth. These discussions uncover racial and cultural dynamics, drawing connections between Asian American and Latinx/e students’ experiences, shared struggles, and pathways to self-determination. Whether you're an educator, advocate, or simply curious about how math intersects with identity and justice, the TODOS Podcast invites you to join these conversations and explore the transformative power of mathematics to uncover hidden narratives, foster solidarity, and reimagine equitable education.Thanks to Dr. Maria Zavala, founder and previous hosts of the TODOS: Mathematics for ALL podcast.

Episode 3: S4E3 Navigating and Supporting Asian and Latinx Mathematics Identities with Cindy Jong
This episode features Dr. Cindy Jong, Professor of Mathematics Education at the University of Kentucky. Cindy, who identifies as both Thai and Guatemalan, opens up about her experiences growing up biracial and how these intersecting racial identities and communities shaped her journey in mathematics. She reflects on the challenges and joys of navigating Asian American and Latinx identity in math spaces, where stereotypes played a large role. Cindy’s stories touch on her love of problem-solving and how food, like the Thai dish Kaumangai (chicken and rice), connects her to her cultural roots.This episode also dives into Cindy’s recent work, including an article co-authored with Jonathan Thomas and Molly Fisher, titled Being Mindful in the Mathematical Moment. Plus, Cindy shares a new project she's part of, The College Mathematics Beliefs and Belonging Survey, aimed at understanding college students' experiences in math.
