Math & Justice: Sheila Warren | GP Interview #14
This is the fourteenth in a series of written interviews with thinkers, artists, activists and other luminaries around the world, people whose life’s work resonates with our founding principles.
Our friend Sheila Warren serves as head of blockchain, data and digital assets at The World Economic Forum (WEF). She also serves on WEF’s executive committee and previously was general counsel at Tech Soup, where she is now a board member.
Sheila has one of the most vigorous and curious minds you will ever encounter and her interests are always broad and evolving. She has spoken previously at GP Dinners focused on her habits as a lifelong bibliophile and currently serves as a board member at the ACLU of Northern California and the Equal Justice Society.
Our conversation this time around looks at identity formation and the activities her three children are picking up. When do we speak of ourselves in terms of verbs and when as nouns, and how might this unlock or manifest our potential as we mature?
GP: Maybe we can start with how you see mathematics being taught to your kids and how this differs from the ways you or I may have learned math back in the last century?
