Antonio Vicente Marafioti Garnica is a professor in the Graduate Program in Mathematics Education at the São Paulo State University (UNESP), Brazil, an internationally renowned and the oldest graduate program in mathematics education in Latin America. He holds a PhD in mathematics education from this same program and a postdoctoral degree from Indiana University, and has conducted research internships at the University of Lisbon. He is the editor-in-chief of the oldest and best-rated journal of Mathematics Education in Brazil, the Mathematical Education Bulletin (BOLEMA), created in 1985. Widely recognized for his production in the field of education, he works as advisor to the most important research evaluation and sponsoring institutions in Brazil. He is also the coordinator of the Oral History and Mathematics Education Research Group (Grupo de Pesquisa História Oral e Educação Matemática - GHOEM).

“This book provides the reader with a balance of theoretical and practical aspects of the use of oral narratives in mathematics education and would be a useful addition to the bookshelf of anyone conducting research in this area.” (Blain Patterson, MAA Reviews, January 12, 2020)
