Interpersonal interactions between teachers and students are a site where students may encounter negative experiences with mathematics; they are also a site where students can experience mathematics in empowering and positive ways. The aim of this study is to understand the work of communicating mathematics in ways that empower, rather than…

First-generation, African American women constitute a small representation in STEM careers in the United States. Rewarding careers offered to STEM majors are many times inaccessible to first-generation African American women. Access to and successful matriculation in higher education is significantly different for first-generation (FG) African…

In envisioning the future of literacy, students' voices are paramount. Students' engagement in classroom talk increases their learning and communication skills, but without intentional implementation, classroom talk can perpetuate hegemony in contemporary classrooms.
