Session Summary

Expanding the Use of Critical Race Theory in Mathematics Education Research for the Public Good

Sat, April 18, 2:15 to 3:45pm, Virtual Room

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This symposium examines the use of Critical Race Theory (CRT) in mathematics education research. Paper 1 illuminates the potency of CRT by using a mathematics vignette to explore Carbado's (2011) notion of critical what what. Paper 2 uses BlackCrit to discuss systematic violence against Black learners and to advance a Black Liberatory Mathematics Education. Paper 3 uses CRT to argue that the mathematics education for Black learners must extend beyond identity and achievement to achieve radical liberation. Paper 4 provides a historical counterstory of mathematics education policies. Paper 5 uses CRT to understand and critique efforts designed to recruit, retain, and support Black mathematics teachers. Paper 6 draws upon CRT's tenets to problematize ill-constructed rhetoric surrounding Black students' mathematics pathways.
