Join Albion's Big Read for a free viewing of the incredibly timely film, "Counted Out," Wednesday, October 23 at 7 p.m. at the historic Bohm Theatre. After receiving rave reviews on the film festival circuit, "Counted Out," will be shown for the first time ever in the state of Michigan! Prior to the screening the Education, Physics, and Math departments are also hosting a free interactive reception (framing event) at 6pm in the Ludington Center. Light refreshments will be served.

Through collaboration with the Fritz Shurmur Center for Teacher Development, participating teachers are eligible for up to 2.5 SCECH. (Electronic sign in required / if unable to attend both the reception and the film partial SCECH is available).

According to the film's website, "'Counted Out' investigates the biggest crises of our time—political polarization, racial and economic inequity, a global pandemic, and climate change—through an unexpected lens: math. In our current information economy, math is everywhere. The people we date, the news we see, the influence of our votes, the candidates who win elections, the education we have access to, the jobs we get—all of it is underwritten by an invisible layer of math that few of us understand, or even notice. Through a mosaic of personal stories, expert interviews, and scenes of math transformation in action, 'Counted Out' shows what’s at risk if we keep the status quo." (countedoutfilm.com)

Last night's dinner and conversation, Teaching for Joy & Justice: Centering Community and Global Context, was the perfect way to end our evening! Thank you, Dr. Jones!
