I’ve been pondering mathematics disabilities, and looking at them from a queer perspective. I’d love to hear what y’all think of my theories, and/or hear your experiences when it comes to mathematics classes. My paper on the topic is on my website. Also, I’m putting together a working group for a math education conference on “queering, en-gendering, and trans-forming mathematics/mathematics education” if anyone is interested in that topic and would like to participate – the details for that are also on my website.
