The 1st IMA Mathematics Anxiety International Conference will take place at the Centre for Mathematical Sciences, the University of Cambridge, in the heart of the historical city. It aims to bring together researchers, academics, teachers, publishers, policy makers and all interested in the conference theme from all over the world. We particularly welcome submissions from researchers (at any stage) in interdisciplinary fields such as education, psychological and behavioural science, and sociology and envisage a number of themes including: 1. Mathematics anxiety reported by non-specialists i.e., students studying disciplines other than mathematics 2. Gender and other dimensions to mathematics anxiety 3. Concepts linked to mathematics anxiety such as negative emotions, unfavourable attitudes, motivation, communication, self-efficacy, mathematical self-concept, resilience to failure, and autonomy 4. Precursors and impacts of mathematics anxiety 5. Communicating and teaching quantitative courses such as mathematics, statistics, research methods and operational research 6. Pedagogical interventions to support mathematics anxiety sufferers such as blended learning, mindset interventions, those designed to enhance self-efficacy, student-led education, and student-voice 7. Interventions such as brain stimulation 8. Promoting equity, inclusion and diversity (EDI), in mathematics education Proposals for Mini Symposium A mini symposium is a session on a specialist topic, consisting of three to four 20-minute relevant talks.
