In this presentation we explore conceptions of social justice and of
mathematics education for social justice (MEfSJ). We recover examples from
research literature that both attempt a definition and/or link MEfSJ to a set of
concerns related to gender equity, access, democracy, ethnicity, and social
background. Other examples show a link between MEfSJ and notions of Critical
Mathematics Education/Pedagogy. And other examples show more or less substantial
challenges to, and tensions in, our attempt to conceptualize MEfSJ. Positioning
ourselves in a socio-political understanding of ME, we also explore the origins of the
notion of social justice in the 19th century. Finally, we attempt to articulate that
historical understanding of social justice with a socio-political approach on ME,
testing that articulation with some present-day concerns and research examples
