[Maths-Education] FW: Mathematics Teacher Education for Social Justice

[Gates Peter]

Colleagues,
I am editing a special issue of the Journal for Mathematics Teacher
Education on 
Mathematics Teacher Education and Social Justice
The JMTE board feel this is a possibly underrepresented theme in
mathematics teacher education and want to go some way to shifting the
balance.
I am looking for people working in that area who might want to consider
writing and submitting something for publication. There are several
possibilities:
1.	Articles of between 5,000-10,000 words depending on whether a
contribution is a research paper or a paper raising critical thoughts
2.	a book review of around 2000- 3000 words
3.	a selection of short reviews of other books
4.	Contributions to a section illustrating positive examples of
work in mathematics classrooms or with mathematics teachers with a
social justice focus or element. This section might be written by
teachers or teachers with teacher educators who might take a leading
role.
I am interested also in hearing from colleagues in underrepresented
countries/colleagues who might feel they have something to contribute
and might welcome working with a "more experienced" author to produce an
article.
There will be an international editorial team consisting at the moment
of myself and Robyn Zevenbergen - although others will join that
shortly. I will also be looking for colleagues to act as peer reviewers.
I expect it will not be possible to take all offers - so apologies to
some in advance. Naturally I will have to ensure a balance.
I am working on the premise the reviewing process will take place around
February 2008
If you want to talk this through, or wrote something or offer services
as a peer reviewer or just exchange some ideas please feel free to
contact me 
Peter
