How to cripple minorities in mathematics education and keep the gap in math test scores for Asians and Whites versus other minorities.
she approved this dissertation:
Mathematics is a primary means of maintaining White privilege in schools through its
gatekeeping role in determining who has access to high status fields (science, medicine,
engineering, mathematics, physics, etc.) and higher education in general (Stinson, 2004).
The maintenance of these privileges reinforces existing power structures with Whites in
positions of power and with increased opportunities for wealth accumulation for White
people. Further, mathematics may prove to be a powerful tool in the promotion of social
justice (Gutstein 2006) by critiquing current inequities and exploring other ways of
understanding and viewing the world. Mathematics as a subject area has been particularly
resistant to efforts to promote social justice (de Freitas, 2008; Gutstein, 2006).

For many, mathematics and social justice are perceived as incompatible. Several
mathematics education researchers have noted resistance to social justice among
mathematics teachers. However, mathematics education has a consistently negative
impact on the education of students of color. This study seeks to better understand the
nature of this resistance by studying how preservice secondary mathematics teachers
grapple with understanding social justice mathematics education. For this study I draw on
discursive understandings of the operation of power and Whiteness Theory in order to
understand the ways in which the discourses of mathematics serve to exclude the
discourses of social justice. The participants in this study were seven preservice
secondary mathematics teachers in a master’s degree program in mathematics with
teaching certification. Class discussions were recorded and transcribed then analyzed
using Critical Discourse Analysis and a Whiteness Theory lens to interpret the analysis.
The findings are organized around three main themes. These themes include discourses
of the abstract nature of school mathematics, teacher and student subject positions, and
our struggle to engage with the concepts of social justice mathematics. At times we
disrupted these discourses through playfulness, repositioning students, and embracing the
struggle of incorporating social justice into mathematics. There are important
implications for mathematics education, mathematics teacher education, and teacher
education generally

teaching mathematics for social justice and that when the attempt is made teachers tend to
focus either on mathematics or social justice. Mathematics teachers, in particular, have
difficulty integrating mathematics and social justice to achieve both mathematical and
social justice goals simultaneously (Bartell, 2013; Brantlinger, 2013). Social justice and
mathematics, for these teachers, seem to be like oil and water. Even when teachers bring
the two together they simply will not stay mixed in the moment of teaching. This kind of
divided thinking has led some teachers to give up on or delay efforts to teach
mathematics for social justice (Brantlinger, 2013). As a mathematics teacher I have faced
some of these same difficulties and felt that the mathematics would not allow me to teach
in ways that would meet the needs of my students. I watched my students struggle with
the mathematics, especially those learning English, and how disconnected the
mathematics was from the things they really cared about. Despite my ability to
understand the mathematics well, to teach clearly, and to make connections with my
students, the mathematics, at times, seemed to get in the way.
