Our conference theme is Changing Mathematics Education by Educating for Change. This theme acknowledges and embraces that the world and the research we do to understand the world are constantly in flux. The alternative to change is stagnation and the perpetuation of current epistemic injustices in mathematics education research and practice. The act of Changing Mathematics Education should be (and is) what all of us do. As mathematics educators and researchers, we each individually have already been engaging ourselves and others to rethink and change beliefs, practices, and systems that sustain mathematics as a gatekeeper. Educating for Change emphasizes the socio-cultural-historical-political reality of mathematics education not meeting the needs of all learners.
By Educating for Change we embody our agency as educators and researchers to create, recreate, and imagine new paradigms of mathematics education theory, methods, and being. Changing Mathematics Education by Educating for Change reminds us to ensure that mathematics becomes an inclusive experience for empowerment rather than an exclusive mechanism for social stratification and reproduction. Mathematics education deserves to be a space for learners (and all PME-NA members) to empower themselves as we address systemic injustices in our field and position mathematics as a force for positive change in our rapidly evolving world. PME-NA 2025 provides time and space for participants to collectively pursue this effort by engaging in academic conversations on Changing Mathematics Education by Educating for Change.
