Gender, sexuality and Mathematics in the curriculum

This research seeks to discuss issues of gender, sexuality, and school Mathematics curriculum, developing some relationships and connections, especially by moving away from the idea of curriculum as a normative document that organizes the educational space. In addition, curriculum is considered a discursive practice and a cultural artifact. The same logic applies to Mathematics, which, far from being a neutral and apolitical science, is a human production permeated by subjectivities and social issues. In this sense, situations such as how Mathematics textbooks address gender and sexuality issues, or how Mathematics teaching can or should be used to promote social justice involving queer subjects, are some of the topics covered in this paper.
