The Sonoma State University Department of Mathematics and Statistics presents Carrie Diaz Eaton, Bates College Information is a form of power, and our students consume and produce more unfiltered information than ever. They need agency as individuals and tools as mem- bers of a future workforce to ethically and responsibly process this information. What is the role of mathematics instruction in helping students in their role as digital citizens? I will talk about my information literacy course using Open Educational Resources, including Calling Bull, Figure of the Day, and RStudio. This course serves as a forum to think meaningfully about probability, data analysis, and data visualization; a gentle introduction to programming; and a context to examine the interplay of information, power, and social justice. It also asks students to use these tools to explore and develop their own agency as digital citizens. I close by examining the narrative of citizenship in the context of digital studies, in the context of mathematics, and in the context of Latinx displacement and immigration.
