Racial Justice in Early Math

Racial Justice in Early Math

The Racial Justice in Early Math (RJEM) Project is committed to fostering racial justice in the math teaching and learning of young children.

Established in 2019 as a collaboration between the Erikson Institute and the University of Illinois Chicago, RJEM creates opportunities for community members, teachers, school administrators, researchers, funders, and policy makers to:

  • Identify key issues of racial injustices in early math education.
  • Create spaces for robust reflections on the complexities of white supremacy, antiblackness, xenophobia, and other forms of racial violence.
  • Develop responsive practices that foster racial justice in early math education.
  • Reimagine educational systems that protect the right of historically marginalized children to flourish in early math.

Below are all the ways you can get involved or learn more about this important topic.
