Over the course of three days in November, the MIM project brought together international researchers for dissemination and dialogue on mathematics education in indigenous and/or migrational contexts.
The conference attracted 45 presenting participants from Norway, Canada, the USA, and South Africa, and eight of them were researchers, PhD candidates, educators, and master's students associated with the MIM project. The conference also featured three keynote speeches by Professor Kathy Nolan from the University of Regina, Professor Beth Herbel-Eisemann from Michigan State University, and Associate Professor Kate le Roux from the University of Cape Town.
The articles presented at the conference have now been published in the Journal of Mathematics and Culture (JMC) across two special editions with the same title: Mathematics Education in Indigenous and Migrational Contexts: Storylines, Cultures, and Strength-based Pedagogies.

"We are proud of these contributions and hope that teacher educators, not only in mathematics but also in all subjects where teaching occurs in indigenous and/or migrational contexts, can benefit from them," says Professor Annica Anderson, who leads the MIM project.
She adds that the articles in JMC are written in a way that should also appeal to teacher education students.
