Re: Ethnomathematics

[Peter McLaren <mclaren@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Louis for posting the article on ethnomathematics...Some of us who
work with Paulo Freire's ideas are very much interested in ethnomathematics
and critical mathematics. While I don't have much of a background in
ethnomathematics, or critical mathematics for that matter,   a Brasilian
professor (who lives in Norway) who is auditing one of my classes at UCLA
and who is working in the area of critical mathematics (not the same as
ethnomath but related)  will find the article of no small value.   The
leading critical math person in the US (in my opinion) is Marilyn
Frankenstein at U of Mass, Boston.  Many thanks again,
Peter
