Abstract
Each time we teach, our students communicate to us. They talk, write, and draw. How do we take in their expressions of self and mathematics? How do we listen? In this column, published in the Fall 2023 AWM Newsletter, I explore different ways we1 as mathematics instructors may listen and how they contribute to a larger message of inclusion and induction into a mathematical community.
