So what do we do with the poor, non‐white female? Issues of gender, race, and social class in mathematics and equity

Concerns about equity in mathematics tend to assume that “all the women are White, all the Blacks are men.” This occurs even though research and programs in mathematics and equity need to focus on individuals in their complexity rather than defining them solely by race or by sex. Along with focusing on the need to address multiple equity areas, this article includes an overview of programs to encourage girls and minority boys in mathematics, what is known about the effectiveness and impact of such programs, and implications for an equity agenda in mathematics.
