Creating and Interrogating Inclusive Mathematics Environments: Considerations, Barriers, and Recommendations for Practice and Policy

Sun, April 11, 2:30 to 4:00pm EDT (2:30 to 4:00pm EDT), SIG Sessions, SIG-Research in Mathematics Education Structured Poster Session

Session Type: Structured Poster Session

Abstract

Accepting educational responsibility requires scholars to interrogate existing inequities while building a vision for just and inclusive education. We bring together nine early-career scholars whose interdisciplinary research syntheses examine structures that promote and hinder the development of inclusive mathematical environments. Topics prioritize experiences of marginalized identities (e.g., Black, Queer, Woman) within mathematics spaces, and explore mechanisms for confronting discrimination, utilizing cultural capital, emphasizing social justice, and establishing role models. Participants will discuss 1) existing literature/theories, 2) future research directions, and 3) commitments to actionable items to dismantle racist and oppressive educational systems. The chair and discussants will facilitate the synthesis of insights across posters and creation of a shared call to action for researchers and practitioners.
