In this reflective essay, a BlackCrit lens is used to explore new and evolving possibilities for Black teachers, families, leaders, and students in ways that highlight and honor parents' agency, expand notions of digital equity in mathematics, and preview new and re-prioritized approaches which aid liberatory mathematics, teaching, and learning spaces that resurfaced in the pandemic. Several actions reimagine the work of mathematics as building blocks for engaging the flourishing for Black communities: (1) expanding and amplifying direct networks for Black parents to share, communicate, and advocate for their own needs and spaces around mathematics; (2) making visible and amplifying our advocacy for racial justice in the content creation and representation found in current digital platforms for meeting the needs of Black communities; and the need to (3) invest in, prioritize usage of, and illuminate mathematics commercial and academic entities focused solely on creating content and centering Black (and other people's) knowledge and experiences in mathematics for Black families.
在这篇反思性文章中,运用了黑人批判视角来探索黑人教师、家庭、领导者和学生的新的和不断演变的可能性,这些方式突出并尊重了家长的能动性,扩展了数学领域数字公平的概念,并预见到了有助于解放性数学、教学和学习空间的新的和重新优先考虑的方法,这些在疫情期间重新出现。有几项行动将数学工作重新想象为促进黑人社区繁荣的基石:(1)扩大并加强黑人家长的直接网络,以便他们围绕数学分享、交流并倡导自身需求和空间;(2)在当前满足黑人社区需求的数字平台的内容创作和呈现中,使我们对种族正义的倡导可见并加以强化;以及需要(3)投资、优先使用并彰显专门为黑人家庭创作内容并以黑人(及其他人)的数学知识和经验为核心的数学商业和学术实体。
