Educational Studies in Mathematics - Call for Papers for Article Collection: Mathematics Education for Sustainable Futures

We invite educational studies in mathematics in the form of empirical and theoretical papers that respond to the question: How do we practise/imagine mathematics education—defined broadly to include curriculum, knowledge, pedagogy, teacher education, language, modelling, technology, theory, methodology, and so on—in a mathematics education for sustainable futures?

Timeline

1. Ongoing: Submit an extended abstract (maximum 500 words) to one of the editors as soon as possible, using the email addresses below.

2. Next: After receiving feedback from the editors, prepare a full manuscript for submission. Submit into the ESM review process, selecting “Mathematics Education for Sustainable Futures” when asked for the type of paper. We will continue to review submissions using established ESM peer review protocols and publish accepted papers online immediately when they are ready. (Please ensure that you follow the guidelines (this opens in a new tab) for ESM papers.)

3. 31st October, 2025: Final date for submission of papers to be considered for the article collection.


We foresee about 10 to 15 articles in the collection. Since this is a special collection (as opposed to a special issue), an article that is accepted for the collection will appear in the first possible printed issue of ESM where it can appear. However, all the articles in the collection will be collated in a unique space (this opens in a new tab) on the ESM website. This approach allows authors to respond relatively urgently to the pressing questions asked of mathematics education, to keep the concerns in focus over time, and collectively build the field.
