Session Summary

Racism in Math Education: Research Toward Theory and Praxis

Sat, April 18, 8:15 to 9:45am, Virtual Room

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This symposium works to flip the premise of racial disparity in math education being the problem of students of color to instead problematize racism and whiteness in the classroom (Battey & Leyva, 2016; Joseph, Haynes, & Cobb, 2015) as well as take an anti-deficit approach (Harper, 2010) that centers students and communities of color (McGee & Martin, 2011; Stinson, 2008; 2011).

We will bring together research on racism and whiteness within math education with an orientation toward Critical Race Praxis (Stovall, 2006; Yamamoto, 1996) in STEM. The papers will offer multi-faceted scholarship to dig into how racism impacts and is resisted by students of color in math education, and what this research means for both theory and praxis.
