Positioning Oneself in Mathematics Education Research
Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, v44 n1 p11-22 Jan 2013
This dialogue, also extracted from a conversation among members of the Equity Special Issue Editorial Panel, involves the role of a researcher's position in mathematics education. It raises issues about the non-neutrality of research; the relationship between a researcher's identity and the design, analysis, and conclusions of a research study; the benefits for researchers and participants in positioning oneself; and the role of mathematics education in this endeavor. [Members of the "Journal of Research in Mathematics Education" Equity Special Issue Editorial Panel who contributed to this dialogue include: Beatriz D'Ambrosio, Marilyn Frankenstein, Rochelle Gutierrez, Signe Kastberg, Danny Bernard Martin, Judit Moschkovich, Edd Taylor, and David Barnes.]
