Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: For the past two summers, I participated in a workshop where participants developed methods for incorporate social justice and service-learning projects into the mathematics curriculum. At these workshops, mathematicians from across the country met to brainstorm on what a course dealing with mathematics and social justice may look like. After two years of hard work, I will see my version of this course come alive when I teach it for the first time this fall. In this talk, I will discuss the topics which will be covered in my "Mathematics and Social Justice" course and the service-learning projects which I have planned. In addition, I will discuss methods for dealing with student and potential colleague resistance to the course.
