Journal of Urban Mathematics Education

The Journal of Urban Mathematics Education (JUME) is a peer-reviewed, open-access, academic journal published twice a year. The mission of the journal is to foster a transformative global academic space in mathematics that embraces critical research, emancipatory pedagogy, and scholarship of engagement in urban communities. Here, the view of the urban domain extends beyond the geographical context, into the lives of people within the multitude of cultural, social, and political spaces in which mathematics teaching and learning takes place.

New Section


Lou Matthews, in his editorial in JUME, 2(1), argued that one of the greatest challenges for mathematics educators has been in defining a people-centric mathematics education, claiming that to do so would require that we begin to tell our stories in the face of perplexing times in urban education. The PUBLIC STORIES OF MATHEMATICS EDUCATORS section is a newly created section to provide an intellectual space for K–16 urban mathematics teachers and teacher educators to tell their stories as they reflect on and transform their pedagogical philosophies and practices and, in turn, the opportunities to learn for the students they serve. (For details regarding manuscript submissions for this section please see Section Polices, which is found under "About.")
