We used citation cartography to answer the question, "what research agendas should we pursue, with respect to engagement and learning needs, to ensure that all students reach their potential?" First, we found that current research studying engagement and learning needs were located on the periphery of the field with few connections between (1) these needs, (2) research related to race, gender, and social justice mathematics, and (3) research related specifically to mathematics content areas. We, thus, conclude with two recommendations for the field. First, we advise that mathematics education researchers consider how we might more fully connect distant subfields in mathematics education research. Second, we highlight the potential of making connections to fields outside of mathematics education. We believe that these two moves will help ensure all students reach their potential by having their engagement and learning needs met. [For the complete proceedings, see ED658295.]
