The RCML conference provides a collaborative space for scholars and educators to share ideas and discuss current research in mathematics education. RCML invites scholars, practitioners, and thought leaders to engage with the 2027 conference theme, Drafting the Future: New Declarations for Mathematics Learning. At the moment when mathematics education is being reshaped by emerging technologies, renewed commitments to equity, and evolving visions of what it means to learn with understanding, this conference aims to highlight research (e.g., empirical, theoretical) that articulates bold directions for the field. We welcome proposals that illuminate how new declarations—conceptual, pedagogical, technological, or policy driven—can transform mathematics learning. Topics may include, but are not limited to:

  • innovative instructional strategies,
  • forward‑looking instructional designs that reimagine learners’ mathematical experiences,
  • equity‑centered and culturally sustaining approaches that challenge traditional narratives,
  • the generative potential and ethical implications of artificial intelligence in mathematics learning, and
  • interdisciplinary and community‑anchored collaborations that expand the purposes and possibilities of mathematics education.
