Journal for Theoretical & Marginal Mathematics Education

Aims & Scope

The Journal for Theoretical & Marginal Mathematics Education ( JTM-ME or " JTM ") is a peer-reviewed academic journal published by The Critical Philosophical & Psychoanalytic Institute for Mathematics Education (CPPI-ME), and is offered Open Access here on the Institute's website, with an eventual goal of being indexed with the DOAJ (Directory of Open Access Journals) by the year 2025. The aim of the Journal is to publish papers of interest to the mathematics education and STEM education fields more broadly that focus on critical, philosophical, psychoanalytic, experimental, theoretical, or post-qualitative research. Authors are especially encouraged to "push the boundaries" of mathematics education when writing, in terms of theory, methods, conception, and presentation. One of the Journal's key motivations is to provide a space for "marginal" scholarship in the mathematics education and STEM education fields, i.e., scholarship which is considered to be "on the margins" of the field. Thus, papers suitable for publication in the Journal should be provocative and innovative, and will often employ perspectives not typically seen in the mathematics or STEM education literature. Cross-disciplinary approaches to theory and methods are also encouraged. Researchers, graduate students, and practitioners are encouraged to submit papers fitting this description that support the journal's aims. Initially, the Journal will aim to publish one volume/issue per year, but will reassess this decision based on the number of submissions received over the first two years of publication. If the interest exists and more, quality, acceptable submissions are being received, then the Journal will aim to expand into more frequent issue releases (e.g., one volume / two issues per year). Additionally, the Journal aims to publish papers in English, Spanish, or Portuguese, and we are building a group of reviewers who are able to speak those languages. For manuscripts written in Spanish or Portuguese, and pending peer review by a referee, the article will be published in Spanish or Portuguese alone, along with a translated English abstract. We are happy to provide the translation at no charge, or the author may supply it with the manuscript. However, in order to reject the standard academic norm of English-centric publications, the entire paper will not be translated into English.
