Peter:  Would you kindly send out the following invitation:

A Special Issue of the Cambridge Journal of Education is to be put together 
by Leone Burton, as guest editor, for publication in 2005.  Colleagues are 
invited to contact leone at leone.burton@virgin.net as soon as possible 
with outline offers of papers that might be included in this issue.  Papers 
should be aimed at a general educational audience.  All papers will be peer 
reviewed.  Offers of reviewers, with contact email addresses, would also be 
welcomed (especially research students).

Provocations to/in Mathematics Education

Mathematics Education is well-established as a field of study in its own 
right.  Researchers in this field draw on literature from psychology, 
sociology and anthropology to substantiate their theoretical positions but 
they have also contributed to the development of theories and practices 
within the area of learning and teaching mathematics.  Because of the 
interesting problems encountered in mathematics classrooms, mathematics 
education has provided a seductive area within which some of those in 
education, and other cognate disciplines, have sited their 
research.  However, many such are unfamiliar with the substantial 
literature that now exists within mathematics education itself nor, despite 
considerable advancement in the field, necessarily cognisant of major 
disagreements, problems and contradictions that remain unresolved.  Papers 
are invited that air and discuss 'provocations', drawing on established 
research and raising challenges to mathematics education and different 
approaches to such challenges within the field.  Papers will be chosen on 
the following criteria:
1.  Clarity of presentation of the 'provocation(s)' and whether these are 
to mathematics education and/or within the discipline.
2.  Clarity and depth of argument in the analysis of the 'provocation(s)' 
to include details of studies addressed and discussion of methodologies.
3.  Internationalism of papers (i.e. breadth of discussion but also 
countries of origin of author(s)/research discussed).
4.  Representation, to include those under-published.
