North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education (44th, Nashville, TN, Nov 17-20, 2022)
How might mathematics educators recognize discourses as resonating harmonies in their practices as researchers? In this paper we share individual experiential narratives guided by Ojibway author Richard Wagamese's Medicine Wheel teachings in the four directions of East (humility), South (trust), West (introspection), and North (wisdom). As we journey through (re)membering place we offer opportunities for recognizing resonating harmony(ies) and algorhythms in our practices as mathematics education researchers and for engaging with critically dissonance discourses and actions. This (re)membering supports relating with each other, mathematics, communities, and place in ways that are more sustainable, inter-connected, and kincentric.
