In Episode 1703, Denise Spangler described her chapter in the Compendium for Research in Mathematics Education, a forthcoming book published by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics. The editor of the volume, Jinfa Cai from the University of Delaware, has now shared with me the table of contents. So if you are interested in seeing the scope of the Compendium, please download this PDF:

Here is where you can order the volume from NCTM: http://www.nctm.org/Store/Products/Compendium-for-Research-in-Mathematics-Education/

The Compendium is approximately 1000 pages, divided into five sections. Those sections are as follows:

1. Foundations
2. Methods
3. Mathematical Processes and Content
4. Students, Teachers, and Learning Environments
5. Futuristic Issues

Thank you to Dr. Cai for allowing me to share this preview of what will be an important volume in our field.

Luis Leyva from Vanderbilt University discusses his article, "An intersectional analysis of Latin@ college women's counter-stories in mathematics," published in the Journal of Urban Mathematics Education, Volume 9. http://ed-osprey.gsu.edu/ojs/index.php/JUME/article/view/295/201

Note: Drawing on Gutiérrez (2013), the term Latin@ (which you will hear Luis pronouncing in the episode) decenters the patriarchal nature of the Spanish language that traditionally groups Latin American women and men into a single descriptor Latino, denoting only men. The @ symbol is meant to allow for gender inclusivity.
