Today, we are excited to share the papers that were authored during the fellowship. One fellow, Nicole Williams Beechum, produced a report that looks across fellows' projects and summarizes insights for education practice and policy audiences. Ten fellows produced academic manuscripts which dive more deeply into the topics listed above.

We at Mindset Scholars Network are thrilled to celebrate the fellows' exceptional work and to share this collection of knowledge about creating inclusive mathematics environments.
The fellowship was led by Shanette Porter, MSN Director of Research and Senior Fellow, and Tanner LeBaron Wallace, professor at the University of Pittsburgh. Advisory team members included Deborah Loewenberg Ball (University of Michigan), Maisie Gholson (University of Michigan), DeLeon Gray (North Carolina State University), Luis Leyva (Vanderbilt University), Jamaal Matthews (University of Michigan), and Na'ilah Nasir (Spencer Foundation).
The fellowship was funded by a grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The findings and conclusions in fellows' papers are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect positions or policies of the foundation.
