MathFest 2025 Invited Paper Session on on Advancing Justice through RUME

[Kaitlyn Serbin]

Dear RUME colleagues,

 

The SIGMAA on RUME will sponsor two sessions at the 2025 MAA MathFest, including a RUME contributed paper session and an invited session on Advancing Justice through Research in Undergraduate Mathematics Education. The call for abstracts for the general RUME contributed paper session will be sent out likely in February once the MAA opens the online portal for abstract submissions, and those will be due April 15^th.

 

The MAA, however, would like us to organize the invited session much sooner. If you would like to be considered for an invitation to speak at the SIGMAA on RUME session on Advancing Justice through Research in Undergraduate Mathematics Education at MathFest 2025, please email me your abstract and title by February 3^rd.

 

Here is the overview of the invited paper session:

This invited session, sponsored by the SIGMAA on Research in Undergraduate Mathematics Education, seeks to engage participants in critical conversations about justice in undergraduate mathematics education. We aim to contribute to a movement that seeks to dismantle barriers and elevate the voices of those historically marginalized in the field of mathematics. Invited speakers will share their research in this area of advancing justice in undergraduate mathematics education, explore mechanisms to overcome systemic barriers faced by underrepresented groups in undergraduate mathematics, and highlight innovative practices that promote inclusivity and equitable outcomes for students. By bringing together a diverse group of scholars, educators, and practitioners, we aim to create a space for sharing research and pedagogical strategies that contribute to the field’s ongoing efforts to advance justice in mathematics education. This session aims to inspire attendees to engage in advocacy and implement changes within their own institutions to promote justice in mathematics education.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions.

 

Best wishes,

Kaitlyn Serbin
