Making Black Girls Count in Math Education explores the experiences
of Black girls and women in mathematics from preschool to graduate
school, deftly probing race and gender inequity in STEM fields.
Nicole M. Joseph investigates factors that contribute to the
glaring underrepresentation of Black female students in the
mathematics pipeline. Joseph’s unflinching account calls
attention to educational structures and practices that contribute
to race- and gender-based stratification in science, technology,
engineering, and mathematics disciplines. The author also
disentangles a complex network of historical and sociopolitical
elements that influence the perception and experiences of Black
girls and women both inside and outside of mathematics education.
In her clear-eyed assessment of the intersectional difficulties
facing this marginalized group, Joseph offers a critical view of
the existing mathematics education research, practice, and policies
that have neglected Black girls and women; confronts the
problematic history of mathematics education policy; and considers
imbalances in the current teacher workforce in US mathematics
programs. She then provides practical, actionable suggestions for
reform. Joseph invites students, families, and educators, as well
as researchers, policy makers, and other relevant stakeholders to
disrupt systems, structures, and ideologies. She calls for an end
to racism and sexism in many areas of mathematics education,
including learning environments, curriculum design and
implementation, and testing and assessments. An essential read for
anyone concerned about supporting the mathematical learning and
development of Black girls and women, this work advocates for
coalition-building so that greater, more equitable opportunities
for learning and engagement may be offered to Black female
students.
