Making Black Girls Count in Math Education

In "Black Girls in Mathematics: The Disruptive Power of Critical Racial and Gender Analyses," Nicole M. Joseph examines the systemic barriers that lead to the underrepresentation of Black female students in mathematics. She critiques existing educational practices, policies, and workforce imbalances while highlighting the intersectional challenges faced by this marginalized group. Joseph calls for action from educators, researchers, and policymakers to challenge and reform these systems, advocating for equitable learning opportunities and greater engagement for Black girls and women in mathematics. This compelling work serves as a rallying cry for coalition-building to address and dismantle the racism and sexism that persist in mathematics education.
