Takeuchi, M.A., & Ishiguro, H. (2023). 社会環境デザインとしての学習―学習研究はなぜ公正と権力を問わなければならないのか [Learning as socio-environmental design: Toward the researchon equity and power in learning in the context of Japan]. 認知科学 [Cognitive Studies], 30(2), 124–
136. Online publication: https://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/jcss/advpub/0/advpub_2022.089/_pdf/char/ja
Note: The discussion around power, equity, and justice in learning is still scarce in the context ofJapanese cognitive sciences and learning sciences. This publication written intentionally in Japanese ina well-regarded Japanese journal is one way to evoke the conversations around power thatubiquitously shapes what is learned, how learning happens, and who learners become throughlearning, reflecting in the unique geopolitical contexts of Japan. This paper was written during myinvited visiting scholarship in 2022.

AmountPurpose$ 200,000 CAD
This project has developed around our common vision: 1) to design and study land-basedlearning opportunities for refugee children and youth, 2) to deepen teacher candidates’
understanding of the soil, ecosystem and biodiversity, and 3) to advocate for socioenvironmental justice and (bio)diversity on a public regenerative farm with racialized
children and youth. This farm – Land of Dreams – is a 30-acre community urban farm,where newcomers participate in local and sustainable agriculture with visions fordecolonization and reconciliation with Indigenous communities (cf. Call 93 of the Truth andReconciliation Commissions of Canada: Calls to Action). Due to the transdisciplinary natureof this project, we have intentionally partnered with organizations and researchers who carry

12Curriculum Vitae of Miwa Aoki Takeuchi

respective knowledge(s) that can be shared to deepen both program design as well as
research analysis. These intentional cross-sectoral and transdisciplinary partnerships provide
rich opportunities for both participants and partners and address the complex gaps in thefield of refugee resettlement and educational research and practices. Together, we will foster
a network for research and program design at the municipal, national, and international
levels. We believe this project will eventually lead to civic actions for food justice andenvironmental restoration as well as civic actions for decolonization and reconciliation. This
grant will plant seeds for these future actions.

examined (im)migrant parents’ involvement in early mathematics learning and designed
workshops for parents to reflect on and share their mathematical funds of knowledge that cansimultaneously leverage in-school mathematics learning.

how can we, as students of the learning sciences and research methodology, shift away fromthe damaging narrative of deficiency, incompleteness and insufficiency imposed uponlearners of color under the guise of development and learning? What transformative ways of14

The focus of this project was to use a game design approach for developing mathematical
literacy and mathematics identity. We engaged students in mathematics learning byconnecting their supposedly out-of-school practices (game play) with school education
activities. The design and development was through collaboration between school teachers
and university researchers, and we involved learners throughout the design process.

Achieving equitable learning opportunities and outcomes for all students is one of the mostpressing challenges facing science education in North America and Europe, with Equity also
being one of the most ubiquitous, and yet undertheorized concepts in science education.
STEM learning and participation are equitable when there are no barriers to or differentials
in achievement in STEM along social and demographic characteristics. This workshop
brings together scholars from Europe, the Universities of Groningen and Luxembourg
specifically, and the University of Calgary dialogue and develop collaborative projects that
centre equity and social justice-oriented research in order to re-vision inclusive STEM
education.
