18.049 - Advancing Methods for Studying Social Identities in Mathematics Education: New Possibilities and Perspectives

Fri, April 5, 2:25 to 3:55pm, Metro Toronto Convention Centre, Floor: 600 Level, Room 602A

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This symposium will engage participants in dialogue for advancing research on how we study social identities in mathematics education. Identity and identity-related processes are now widely recognized as central to mathematics teaching and learning. To envision the next generation of research in this area, the presentations in this symposium draw on methodologies and theoretical perspectives across a range of disciplines. Specifically, we focus on: reimagining the boundaries of mathematics identity research; developing analytical guidelines for identifying coded language; interrogating the types of institution-identities imposed by language in neoliberal policy documents; and ethical considerations in doing this type of work. By advancing interdisciplinary methodologies for researching social identities in mathematics education, this symposium aims to counter “post-truth” discourses.
