[Maths-Education] Philosophy of Maths Ed Journal

[Ernest, Paul]

Dear Colleagues

This is a final call for submissions for the Philosophy of Mathematics Education Journal, issue No. 28 (2014)

There are some exciting inclusions including a dialogue on 2+2=5 stimulated by Heather Mendick's presentation on Maths in Popular Culture and other issues (philosophy of maths, teaching and learning maths) that came out of the Mathematical Cultures conference organised by Brendan Larvor April 2014 and subsequent exchanges. There is also Bal Chandra Luitel's innovative PhD study Culture, Worldview and Transformative Philosophy of Mathematics Education in Nepal: A Cultural-Philosophical Inquiry - which uses multimedia representions to explore the development of his own beliefs, their context, and much more!

Please send me anything you would like considered for inclusion as soon as possible as I am putting the issue together at the present.

I put out a call for papers on Maths and Gender (see below) but I have had insufficient submissions or indications of interest for a whole special issue. So I plan to have a section on Maths and Gender in the current issue (No. 28) and will include further relevant papers in issue no. 29 (2015).

Best wishes

Paul
