The 2023 OpEd Project at UH
The Elizabeth D. Rockwell Center on Ethics and Leadership at the Hobby School of Public Affairs is collaborating with The OpEd Project to help elevate the diverse viewpoints of University of Houston faculty members beyond campus. Nearly two dozen UH participants from various disciplines will join a national network of their peers, gain access to mentors and emerge from a daylong workshop with an op-ed outline and the skills and resources to shape the critical conversations of the day. The interactive training, intended to empower academic experts to share their knowledge and research with the community, was hosted by award-winning journalist and CQ Roll Call columnist Mary Curtis. The workshop on Feb. 6, 2023, is the first part of a longer collaboration among the participants, The OpEd Project and the Elizabeth D. Rockwell Center. Participants will have ongoing access to resources, events and mentors.

When diverse voices are added to national conversations, they expand a sometimes narrow perspective. The OpEd Project empowers, trains and offers mentorship to University of Houston faculty to become thought leaders beyond academic disciplines and enrich the critical and productive dialogue in our communities and on the national stage.

Now is the time to press the reset button on math. My voice as a teacher, educator and parent rejects a mindset of math anxiety and encourages improving outcomes in math for all students. To prepare today's students for the careers of tomorrow, students must learn to think, reason, problem-solve and communicate. I hope to reframe the conversation around learning new math strategies and inspire caregivers to give math a chance.
