Racism in Math Education: Where Responsibility Is Due

Sun, April 11, 4:10 to 5:40pm EDT (4:10 to 5:40pm EDT), SIG Sessions, SIG-Research in Mathematics Education Paper and Symposium Sessions

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This symposium works to flip the question and the premise of race in math education to place the responsibility for inequity where it is due, on racism and whiteness in the classroom (Battey & Leyva, 2016; Joseph, Haynes, & Cobb, 2015). We take an anti-deficit approach (Harper, 2010) that centers students and communities of color (McGee & Martin, 2011; Stinson, 2008; 2011). Beyond this, our panel aligns with Martin’s (2019) call to reject the oppressive systems in math education that perpetuate antiblackness, and to instead build humanizing math educational programs.
