Abstract: |
In diverse classroom environments, issues of race and its’ connection to academic
achievement and learning can arise (both implicitly and explicitly) in complex and
multifaceted ways. Our presentation will focus on the various ways students’ position
themselves with respect to academics, mathematics, and race as they take part in their
mathematics classes in a diverse high school. In particular, we will focus on the racial
and academic positionings of the African American students, as race came up more
often and more explicitly for these students, and we will illustrate the complexity of how
race and identity operate in the classroom in multiple moments of classroom interaction. |
