Culturally Sustaining Pedagogies in Mathematics Education: Constructing a New Vision for Research and Classroom Practices

Wed, April 8, 1:45 to 3:15pm PDT (1:45 to 3:15pm PDT), JW Marriott Los Angeles L.A. LIVE, Floor: 3rd Floor, Georgia II

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Mathematics education is often seen as objective and detached from students' cultural and linguistic lives, positioning learners as passive recipients rather than active co-creators of knowledge. This symposium challenges that narrative by showcasing how culturally sustaining pedagogies (CSP) can transform mathematics into a liberatory and inclusive space. Presenters include researchers and practitioners who embed CSP principles (Alim et al., 2020) to affirm student identities, center their histories, and cultivate critical engagement (i.e., rightful presence, Calabrese Barton & Tan, 2019). Through diverse theories, research, and classroom practices, the symposium explores how reimagined curricula, teacher preparation, and community-rooted innovation can make mathematics a tool for equity and belonging, demonstrating that meaningful learning happens through, not despite, culture.
