CFP: Mathematical Cultures

The first conference will gather research that explores and maps the variety of and connections among contemporary mathematical cultures.  These can be research cultures, but may also include practitioner cultures (e.g. among engineers, economists, social scientists, etc.) and mathematical cultures among instructor and student groups (e.g. primary/secondary/tertiary teachers, school pupils, mathematics students at all levels).  The project will not invite contributions on historically or culturally remote mathematical cultures except as these illuminate contemporary mathematical culture in developed societies.

Speakers wishing to present papers at the first mathematical cultures conference should submit an abstract of no more than 300 words to the Easychair submissions system by 1 May 2012.

Each speaking slot will be 40 minutes.  Speakers should prepare to leave fifteen minutes for questions and discussion.

Applications from postgraduate and postdoctoral researchers are particularly welcome.  

The programme committee will inform applicants of its decisions by 1 June 2012.
