I am a doctoral candidate at the University of Maryland, College Park. For
my dissertation study, I am planning to research Social Justice Education
and how it is manifested in elementary mathematics lessons.  Can you put
me in touch with teachers who are teaching in such a manner? It would be
ideal for me if the classrooms were public school 2nd or 3rd grades
although I would appreciate any elementary level.



My plan is to use case studies to illustrate how social justice can be
promoted in elementary mathematics lessons.  My intent is to observe, as
unobtrusively as possible, how such lessons play out and how teachers and
students interact with each other, the mathematics and the particular
social concern. I will assure anonymity during the research however audio
recording and field notes will be necessary during the process.
