| Abstract: |
In recent decades, mathematics education research has become invested in the idea that mathematical subjectivity is formed at the intersection of culture, history, and politics (e.g., Darragh, 2016; Esmonde et. al., 2013; Gholson & Martin, 2019; Gutiérrez, 2013; Sengupta-Irving, 2021). In this paper, I offer an account of the kinds of labor that sustain mathematical life by tracing how a mathematician in the sociopolitical margins of the field comes to see herself as a mathematician. I provide a close analysis of one interview to explore how she narrates her mathematical self, and the various negotiations of time, place, and relations that make mathematical work possible.
