"Minoritised mathematics students are motivated by gratitude": An analysis of storylines in Norwegian public media

Abstract

As part of a larger participatory research project, we examine storylines about mathematics education and students from minoritised cultures and/or languages in Norwegian news media. We identify some of the positionings construed in this public discourse to consider what kinds of positionings are made available in relationship to education and mathematics education. In particular, we focus on one storyline we found, “minoritised mathematics students are motivated by gratitude” because we hope to engage the MES community in exploring it with us.
