Unforgetting Histories and Dreaming for the Future of Mathematics Education

Session Type: Invited Speaker Session

Abstract

There is no more important time to both challenge and learn from our history as mathematics educators; to rethink the purpose of education and the role mathematics plays in it, and to consider the approaches and methods of research that can enable collective learning towards our dreams for the future. We pose the question: What are your most significant concerns in mathematics education at this moment? What should we “unforget” and leverage to dream for the future? The chairs and panel will guide a collective conversation to support mathematics education researchers in a moment of un-forgetting and dreaming together across methodological, theoretical, and philosophical perspectives. We invite our mathematics education colleagues to join us in this conversation.
