Keynote Speaker
Keynote Speaker
The keynote speaker this year is Dr. Matthew Salomone. Currently the Associate Dean of the Bartlett College of Science and Mathematics at Bridgewater State University, he has also served as a professor in the Math Department since 2009. While at BSU he has been dedicated to improving quantitative reasoning across the campus. His work is dedicated to improving student outcomes and improving equity, often connecting the ability to reason with numbers to important skills needed to be a citizen that does not just understand, but can participate in democracy.
Additionally, Dr. Salamone has been instrumental in connecting researchers and educators to share their experiences in Massachusetts and beyond. In recognition of his hard work, we at QuAC are happy to have the founder of SEQuEL return as our keynote speaker for 2026.
Keynote Address:
State of the Intersection: Reflections on Ten Years of SEQuEL at Bridgewater
The integrative nature of quantitative literacy has always presented an opportunity to bring a wide variety of stakeholders and audiences into the work of improving QL education. What have we learned from these convenings in the past ten years of the SEQuEL conference, and through the work of our QL programs during that time? What's changed, what hasn't, and where might we go from here? We'll draw inspiration from the significant learning at the intersection of Fink's taxonomy and argue that the imperative for better QL skills is, today more than ever, as much moral as intellectual.
