The 27th ICMI Study 'Mathematics Education and the Socio-Ecological' will bring together, in a Study Conference and culminating in a ICMI Study volume based on the Conference activities, an expert reference group comprising scholars, with diverse representation within the ICMI community, and across mathematics education sites and contexts. As a named topic, the ‘socio-ecological' is relatively new compared to many others in the field. Yet there is wide recognition of the urgent need for thought leadership to consider what is and might be the role of mathematics and mathematics education in multiple, intersecting, social, political, and ecological issues such as climate change, poverty, inequality, health crises, discrimination, and marginalization. The task of this Study is to reflect on ‘the state of the art' by analysing the growing research and practice in the areas of mathematics education and the socio-ecological, offered from diverse traditions including, and not limited to: critical mathematics education; decoloniality; ethnomathematics; feminist thought, Indigenous ways of knowing; and mathematical modelling. Furthermore, the Study hopes to harness such contributions and anticipate new possibilities, questions, and recommendations for research, innovation and action for mathematics education located in the complexity of social and ecological interdependencies. The Study will build community (including interdisciplinary relations) and open space towards new directions in mathematics education, as it relates to the socio-ecological across local and international levels.
