Journal Content: The journal's contents
examine the intersections between mathematics and culture in both
western and non-western societies, and among both math professionals
(such as university mathematicians, mathematics educators, and
cryptologists) and non-professionals (such as carpenters, indigenous
healers, and hair stylists). We define culture broadly, to include all
scales: ethnic groups, nations, labor communities, religious
traditions, professions, and so on. Particular aspects of culture
examined might include broad social dynamics such as race and gender,
or micro-practices such as dancing or computer programming.
Mathematical practices include symbolic systems, spatial designs,
practical construction techniques, calculation methods, measurement in
time and space, specific ways of reasoning and inferring, and other
cognitive and material activities which can be translated to formal
mathematical representation. Of particular interest are educational
studies which take the classroom setting into account, such as
pedagogical applications of ethnomathematics.
