In Democracy and Mathematics Education, Kurt Stemhagen and
Catherine Henney develop a way of thinking about the nature and
purposes of math that is inclusive, participatory, and thoroughly
human. They use these ideas to create a school mathematics
experience that can enhance students' math abilities and democratic
potential. They locate mathematics' origins in human activity and
highlight the rich but often overlooked links between mathematical
activity and democratic, social practices. Democratic mathematics
education foregrounds student inquiry and brings to light the moral
dimensions of a discipline that has both remarkable utility and
inevitable limitations. For math educators, the book's humanities
approach helps to see the subject anew. For philosophers, it
provides an important real world context for wrestling with
perennial and timely questions, engaging democratic and
evolutionary theory to transform school math. This alternative
approach to mathematics and mathematics education provides a guide
for how to use math to make democracy a larger part of school and
wider social life. 2021 Winner of the AESA Critics' Choice Book
Award.
