$\textbf{In English:}$ In this session, we will dive into the workshop's key objectives, which are designed to help you collaborate with your peers. We will outline the structure of the workshop, focusing on the dynamics of Working Groups, where you’ll have the opportunity to engage in conversations with other participants closely. We'll also cover important logistical details to ensure everyone is prepared for the activities ahead. $\textbf{En español:}$ En esta sesión, nos sumergiremos en los objetivos clave del taller, diseñados para ayudarte a colaborar con tus compañeros. Expondremos la estructura del taller, enfocándonos en la dinámica de los Grupos de Trabajo, donde tendrás la oportunidad de participar en conversaciones cercanas con otros participantes. También cubriremos detalles logísticos importantes para asegurarnos de que todos estén preparados para las actividades durante el taller.

A dilemma in mathematics education is related to its overwhelming bias against a local/cultural mathematical orientation in most research paradigms. A search for innovative methodologies found in ethnomodelling is necessary to record historical forms of mathematical ideas, procedures, and practices developed to be used in diverse cultural contexts. Ethnomodelling is not an attempt to replace global school/academic mathematics, however, at the same time, it is necessary to acknowledge the existence of local mathematical knowledge as well as its dialogical approach. The decolonization process triggered by ethnomodelling is insubordinate, creative, subversive, and responsible because it evokes a disturbance that causes a review of rules and regulations in the mathematical modelling process, which seeks for social justice and total peace.

In this keynote presentation, I will share the conceptualization and implementation of culturally sustaining mathematical modeling. Although relevant theories and research emphasize the importance of culturally sustaining pedagogy and mathematical modeling, its practice is minimally evidenced across multiple states in the U.S. Furthermore, in this rapidly changing world, both the culture of teaching and research in mathematical modeling continue to evolve to meet the diverse needs of students, their teachers, and their surrounding environments. Building on prior research and practices, I will discuss how the conceptualization of culturally sustaining mathematical modeling has influenced its application locally and share lessons learned from its implementations. The key principles underlying these equitable modeling practices may provide insights for future research and teaching that serve marginalized populations in multiple dimensions.

This keynote explores the dynamic intersection of language, mathematics, and artificial intelligence (AI) through the lens of culturally and linguistically diverse learners. This presentation highlights the challenges and opportunities multilingual students face in mathematics education from the perspective of immigrant families. It delves into the role of multilingualism and multimodality, emphasizing how diverse linguistic resources enrich mathematical understanding. The theoretical framing integrates language, mathematical, and AI frameworks, focusing on Systemic Functional Linguistics and Social Semiotic Theory to unpack the complex relationships between language, meaning-making, and content learning. Additionally, the session examines the transformative potential of generative AI (GenAI) in supporting equitable educational practices.

Se describen y analizan los conocimientos matemáticos identificados en mujeres de baja o nula escolaridad. Estas mujeres son parte de familias que laboran en campos agrícolas en México, por lo que frecuentemente tienen que migrar. Una parte de la investigación se realizó en un campo de cultivo al norte de México, la otra parte se llevó a cabo en Oaxaca, en una de las tantas comunidades indígenas de donde emigran esas familias. El estudio parte de reconocer que las personas desarrollan ciertos conocimientos matemáticos de acuerdo con necesidades específicas de su vida cotidiana, incluyendo su actividad laboral. Con base en los planteamientos ciertas teorías de la didáctica de las matemáticas y de la perspectiva de numeracy practices, se describe el procedimiento metodológico para identificar tales conocimientos, el marco teórico para analizarlos y, finalmente, las implicaciones educativas de los hallazgos en una perspectiva que considera los aspectos sociales, culturales y económicos de los hechos educativos.

The problem of properly aligning incentives with societal goals appears in many settings. In the case of the pharmaceutical industry, innovation is expensive, and is typically rewarded by granting patents that ensure exclusivity in the market, enabling companies to set prices at a level determined by their goal of recouping costs and, beyond that, maximising profits. Several proposals have been made for alternative systems for incentivising innovation. The Health Impact Fund (HIF) proposed by Hollis et. al. (2008) is one example. The basic principle of the HIF is that companies receive a reward from the fund in proportion to the measured health impact of the use of their product, which is sold to the consumer at cost. Thus, the more widespread the uptake, the greater the reward. We present some mathematical modelling of some particular implementations of the HIF framework and use these models to examine the potential impact and alignment with societal goals.
