About
Dr. David W. Stinson's research interests, broadly speaking, are twofold: critical postmodern theory and identity. More specifically, he explores how mathematics teachers, educators, and researchers (might) incorporate the philosophical and theoretical underpinnings of critical postmodern theory into their education philosophies, pedagogical practices, and/or research methods. Additionally, he examines (and theorizes) how students who are constructed outside the White, Christian, heterosexual male of bourgeois privilege successfully accommodate, reconfigure, or resist (i.e., negotiate) the hegemonic discourses of society generally and schooling specifically, including those found in the mathematics classroom.
Dr. Stinson's research has been published in The Mathematics Educator, Review of Educational Research, American Educational Research Journal, The Qualitative Report, The Urban Review, Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, and Educational Studies in Mathematics (coauthored with Erika Bullock). In addition, he has contributed book chapters to Danny Martin’s edited book on Black students’ liberation and mathematics and Margaret Walshaw’s edited book on mathematics pedagogy in the postmodern (coauthored with Ginny Powell). He has coauthored research regarding mathematics teachers’ development (preservice and in-service), which has been published in Teachers College Record and Journal of Mathematics Teacher Education. And Dr. Stinson is coeditor with Anita Wager of Teaching Mathematics for Social Justice: Conversations with Educators, an edited volume published by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics.
Dr. Stinson has made several presentations at national and international mathematics education and education conferences, presenting several times at the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics Research Presession and the annual meeting of the American Educational Research Association.
The courses Dr. Stinson teaches at GSU highlight critical postmodern theories, such as Critical Theory and Teaching Mathematics for Social Justice, Mathematics Education within the Postmodern, and Sociocultural and Sociohistorical Issues in Mathematics Education.
Dr. Stinson began his tenure as editor-in-chief of the Journal of Urban Mathematics Education (JUME) with Vol. 2, No. 2 (and will continue as copy and production editor). He is a co-founder of JUME and had previously served as an associate editor (and copy and production editor).
