“We worry that the news cycle is losing its focus on the Black Lives Matter protests and the associated introspection regarding racism. We recognize that many organizations have not lost interest and are taking action to address racism. We too, as editors of Educational Studies in Mathematics (ESM), commit ourselves to keep taking racism seriously.”

With these words, the editors of the journal of Educational Studies in Mathematics, among which Utrecht researcher Arthur Bakker (Freudenthal Institute), introduce an editorial on the topic of racism. “We want to consider the role journals in general and ESM in particular might play in sustaining racism and perpetuating inequities within the field of mathematics education within and across countries.”

The authors share relevant literature, reflect on their experiences, on the state of their research field and their role as journal editors. The editorial concludes with a call for dialogue and action.
