Session Type: Symposium
The purpose of this symposium is to bring forth research and theoretical perspectives for improving access to mathematics education through the lens of identity theories in socio-cultural contexts. More specifically, using the structure of a symposium, we aim to spark conversation about possibilities—and potential limitations—of culturally embedded notions of identity in the context of mathematics education. Six papers and two discussants will bring together diverse perspectives on socially and culturally constructed expressions of learners' and teachers' identity as well as identify potential interpretations, commonalities, and differences for praxis.
