[Maths-Education] RE: [mes-conf] Mathematics Teacher Education for Social Justice

[Ernest, Paul]

Dear Colleagues

 

Peter's email reminded me that I should circulate details of the two special issues of the The Philosophy of Mathematics Education Journal concerning mathematics and social justice that came out recently.

 

See

http://www.people.ex.ac.uk/PErnest/

 

There are a couple of papers on teacher education and social justice 

 

Also I want to tell you that the next issue (no. 22) will be out in November 2007 and will include both social justice papers and any of the usual contributions, so please send me anything you want considered. 

 

Best wishes

 

Paul
