We present a finding from a literature analysis of Raza populations published in top-tiered peer reviewed mathematics education journals. We look at how narratives are perpetuated and resisted at the intersections of Raza, mathematics education, and research. The findings reveal the field of mathematics education research is perpetuating deficit…

In this theoretical paper, we respond to a call for all Mathematics Education researchers to become equity researchers (Aguirre et al., 2017) by articulating how equity is foundational to making second-order models of students' mathematics. First, based on prior research, we view equity to be about power and respect. We define an act of equity as…
