Description

Creating landscapes of investigation is a primary concern of critical mathematics education. It enables us to organise educational processes so that students and teachers are able to get involved in explorations guided by dialogical interactions. It attempts to address explicit or implicit forms of social injustice by means of mathematics, and also to promote a critical conception of mathematics, challenging the assumption that the subject represents objectivity and neutrality. Landscapes of Investigation provides many illustrations of how this can be done in primary, secondary, and university education. It also illustrates how exploring landscapes of investigation can contribute to mathematics teacher education programmes.

This edited volume is the result of a collaboration established through the Colloquium in Research in Critical Mathematics Education, which took place in 2016, 2018, and 2019 in Brazil. Its twenty-eight contributors are young researchers from Brazil, Chile, Colombia, India, Mexico and the USA, who are dedicated to the further development of critical mathematics education.

Organised in eighteen chapters, the volume presents examples of engaging students from a diversity of social and economic backgrounds, age ranges, and abilities across different countries. The chapters present original findings on the social aspects of all levels of mathematics education. Landscapes of Investigation is of particular relevance to those with an interest in the potential of mathematics education to challenge social injustices.

The book Landscapes of Investigation: Contributions to Critical Mathematics Education was planned, written, and edited during a difficult period of time. The Coronavirus pandemic haunted the world with devastating implications, also for the professional and private lives of the authors of this book. Furthermore, the time was difficult for the two of us, due to Ole’s health problems. However, in spite of all difficulties, the book became real. We are grateful for all the support we have received.
We want to thank Pamela Long (in memoriam). She helped us by making a start to the language editing process. We were extremely shocked by the news of her sudden death.
We want to thank the members of the Épura research group for all their help during this long period. We want to thank the authors for their contributions, for their collaborations in the reviewing processes, and for their enthusiasm in creating this book. We want to thank the editors of the book series Studies in Mathematics Educations and Society for accepting this book for publication, and thanks to David Kollosche, Brian Lawler, and David Wagner for guiding us through the process. We want to thank Peter Gates for his help and support during the process, and Rosalyn Sword for completing careful copy-editing of the whole manuscript.

Landscapes of Investigation: Contributions to Critical Mathematics Education emerged from the collaboration established through the Colloquium of Research in Critical Mathematics Education (Colóquio de Pesquisa em Educação Matemática Crítica). This event took place in 2016 and 2018 at Universidade Estadual Paulista (Unesp) in Rio Claro, and in 2019 at the University of São Paulo (USP) in São Paulo. Further Colloquium events are planned when the pandemic is under control.
In the Colloquium, most of the participants are young researchers dedicated to the further development of critical mathematics education. Many of them come from Brazil, but some also join (sometimes virtually) from Chile, Colombia, India, Mexico, and the USA. Several participants are members of the Épura research group, which is coordinated by the two of us (Miriam Godoy Penteado and Ole Skovsmose). This group was founded in 2008 and is associated with Unesp in Rio Claro. 1 Épura members are mainly Master’s and PhD students and researchers working within inclusive education inspired by critical mathematics education. Landscapes of Investigation emerged through the shared efforts of the Colloquiums and the Épura Group.
The notion of landscapes of investigation has been developed over more than twenty-five years, and this book draws on this entire process. In a crucial way, the book contributes to the further development of the notion of landscape of investigation, both with respect to its theoretical features and its practical impact; and therefore also to the general evolution of critical mathematics education. The creation of landscapes of investigation is an attempt to organise educational processes in such a way that they allow students and teachers to get involved in explorative processes guided by dialogical interactions. It is an attempt to address forms of social injustice by means of mathematics. It is also an attempt to promote a critical conception of mathematics, challenging the assumption that mathematics represents objectivity and neutrality.
One of the initial inspirations for recognising education as a critical and political force came from Paulo Freire, when he in 1968 published Pedagogia do Oprimido . At that time Brazil suffered under a military dictatorship, so the following formulations of critical education had to maintain a clandestine format. Later, critical education acquired a diverse range of manifestations, and a huge number of educational practices, as well as books, articles, doctoral dissertations, and Master’s theses.
In Brazil one also finds a wealth of important contributions to the further development of critical mathematics education. Many teachers and schools have engaged students in project work in mathematics and addressed controversial social and political issues. Critical mathematics education has also been documented by a huge number of publications.
If we consider the contributions by people associated with the Épura research group, we find studies that present a variety of landscapes of investigation, address dialogic interactions in the classroom, consider students in marginalised positions, and challenge upper-middle-class stereotypes, as well as many other issues important for critical mathematics education. Besides producing dissertations and theses, the Épur
