Reconceptualizing Ability, Normativity, and Equity: Methodologies in Mathematics Education Resistance and Justice

Sun, April 24, 2:30 to 4:00pm PDT (2:30 to 4:00pm PDT), SIG Virtual Rooms, SIG-Research in Mathematics Education Virtual Paper Session Room

Session Type: Structured Poster Session

Abstract

Although power and privilege are embedded in all mathematics learning environments, research on the teaching and learning of students with disabilities is dominated by individual cognitive theories of learning that do not expose the workings of racism, ableism, and injustices. This structured poster session addresses how mathematics education research can acknowledge the influence of constructed ideas of normalcy, intelligence, interventions, and excellence that lead to differential access to power on the organization of learning. Eight posters will feature research that juxtaposes fields of mathematics education and disability studies for creating more responsive and just mathematics educational practices. By bringing these lines of research in conversation with each other, we aim to broaden the field’s conceptualization of ability, normativity, and equity.
