Reverse impact: Co-constructing mathematics education with communities facing socio-environmental crises
Résumé
Pedagogical alternatives that bring communitarian knowledge into the mathematics classroom are
fundamental in struggling communities because mathematical knowledge is a tool for understanding
social reality in the face of a crisis. However, adopting a communitarian approach involves severe
epistemological challenges, such as the democratisation of knowledge. Here we share our reflections
about knowledge democratisation in a project that aimed to create an educational proposal for
communities that struggle with socio-environmental crises in Mexico. We emphasise the tensions and
insights that emerged in our attempts to build a horizontal collaboration with teachers and how this
collaboration impacted our understanding and enacting of a communitarian spirit to mathematics
education.
