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 6: S4E6 Asian Math Immigrant Identities with Jiyeong Yi
In this reflective episode, Dr. Jiyeong Yi shares her remarkable journey from South Korea to becoming an Associate Professor of Mathematics Education at Iowa State University. Jiyeong discusses the intersections of her identity as a first-generation immigrant, a mother, and an educator navigating anti-Asian racism in America. She recounts the challenges of overcoming language barriers, the U.S. visa system, a battle with cancer, and cultural isolation while finding her voice as an advocate for immigrant and bilingual students.This conversation delves into her groundbreaking Educational Studies in Mathematics article from 2024, Rethinking Anti-Asian Racism in Mathematics Education: The Hidden Racism Made Visible through AsianCrit with Dr. Ji Won Son and Dr. Hyunyi Jung. In this conversation, Dr. Yi expands on how she uses AsianCrit in mathematics education, her commitment to dismantling the model minority myth, and the unique struggles faced by Asian immigrant families. Shout Out to Dr. Ruth Ahn of California State University, Pomona and her instrumental mentorship and support of Dr. Yi.Bonus: Here are links to the books Garden of Dreams and Even Better, written in Korean and English by students and their families from the Changing the Gap Parents Book Club organized by Dr. Yi in Ames, Iowa.
