Abstract

Abstract This essay introduces Nicole Joseph’s Black Feminist Mathematics Pedagogies (BlackFMP), a theoretical and pedagogical model grounded in Black feminism and Black girlhood. BlackFMP is a framework in service of the disruption of gendered antiblackness found in the US mathematics education system. For far too long, mathematics curriculum and pedagogies have mainly served middle-class White students leaving Black girls invisible and vulnerable. Because Black girls are mischaracterized and misunderstood through deep-seeded stereotypes, they are infrequently positioned by mathematics teachers and educators as producers of mathematical knowledge. Consequently, their opportunities to develop robust mathematics identities are fragmented because of Western constructions of who is a mathematician. BlackFMP has four dimensions including: ambitious mathematics instruction, critical consciousness and reclamation, academic and social integration, and robust mathematics identities 2.0. BlackFMP is a type of Wakandian experience for Black girls whereby their intersectional identities are recognized and affirmed in the mathematics context. Implications for mathematics teachers, educators in general, curriculum developers, and Black girls and their families are discussed.

黑人女权主义数学教育学（BlackFMP）：美国数学教育体系中性别反黑人的课程对抗

摘要本文介绍了妮可·约瑟夫的黑人女权主义数学教育学（BlackFMP），这是一种基于黑人女权主义和黑人少女时代的理论和教学模式。BlackFMP是一个为打破美国数学教育系统中的性别反黑人现象而服务的框架。长期以来，数学课程和教学法主要为中产阶级白人学生服务，让黑人女孩隐形和脆弱。由于黑人女孩因根深蒂固的刻板印象而被错误描述和误解，数学教师和教育工作者很少将她们定位为数学知识的生产者。因此，由于西方对数学家的理解，他们发展稳健数学身份的机会被分散了。BlackFMP有四个维度，包括：雄心勃勃的数学教学、批判性意识和开垦、学术和社会融合以及稳健的数学身份2.0。黑人FMP是黑人女孩的一种Wakandian体验，在数学背景下，她们的交叉身份得到了认可和肯定。讨论了对数学教师、一般教育工作者、课程开发人员以及黑人女孩及其家庭的影响。
