  • MIT Topology Seminar
  • OnLine Seminar on Undergraduate Mathematics Education, formerly known as the Electronic Mathematics Education Seminar, is entering its sixth season! I am joined by Tara Holm in organizing this seminar, now supported by TPSE-Math, the AMS, and the MAA. It's open to all! Here is a listing of the talks so far.
    This volume of Lectures on Algebraic Topology is now available at this website, for a great price.
    The Handbook of Homotopy Theory has now been published. You can order it from this website. Price reductions will appear at random times! Here is the table of contents, with some excerpts from Math Reviews of the chapters.
  • I am on the Steering Committee for the Bisan Lecture Series.
  • In October, 2022, I was interviewed by Paige (Dote) Bright on Chalk Radio.
  • I am serving in 2023 as Senior Faculty Associate for J-WEL Higher Education. In this capacity, I am leading the 2023 J-WEL Course Design Workshop.
  • We have developed a suite of Javascript "Mathlets" for use in courses in differential equations, calculus, and probability. They have been brought up to a11y accessiblity standard. This site contains a training course, introducing the MIT Mathlets and their use. Here's a poster about this project, dating fronm 2008.
  • I am proud to be involved with the MIT-Haiti Initiative. Here is a film about this initiative, prepared in conjunction with the visit to MIT by Haitian Prime Minister Laurent Lamothe, and here is a piece about it written for the MIT Faculty Newsletter in August 2016. Here is a fact-sheet about this initiative, dating from May 2022.
    In addition to many workshops and a couple of conferences, this initiative is in the process of producing a series of Instructional Guides, in Kreyòl, for active learning in Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Mathematics.
    Under a grant from J-WEL pK-12, we have built the Platfòm MIT-Ayiti to gather material created by Haitian educators in the K-12 space and beyond.
    Here is a J-WEL Webinar about this project.
    To see what Haiti looks like from the air, go to Rene Durocher's spectacular website.
  • Along with Munther Daleh and Franz Ulm as co-PIs, I have been directing the Program for Collaborative Student Research with students from Palestinian universities. This work is supported in part by a grant from J-WEL Higher Education. This project has now been expanded to involve faculty and students from institution beyond MIT, as well as from any Palestinian university. Some information about projects I have led can be found here.
    This project follows the Third International Gathering for Science in Palestine, at MIT in January 2020.
  • I am a mentor for The National Alliance for Doctoral Studies in the Mathematical Sciences.
  • The Educational Collaboration Space is a flexible educational collaboration tool built to support formation of communities of educators over time and space. It is a freely available Wordpress site featuring many specially designed plugins. Visit the MIT News item about this. It was also picked up here by Inside Higher Ed. Its development was supported by the MIT Office of Educational Innovation and Technology and the NSF.
  • Crosslinks is a wiki designed to help MIT students make connections between their courses, in collaboration with Karen Willcox.
  • Current editorial positions:
    Geometry and Topology
    International Journal of Research in Undergraduate Mathematics Education
    Journal of Homotopy and Related Structures
    Tunisian Journal of Mathematics
