The Women and Education
SIG
An affiliate of the American Educational
Research Association
The
Research on Women and Education SIG (RWE) has supported the efforts of
women scholars for the past twenty years. The RWE operates as one of
some 100 Special Interest Groups in AERA. The RWE SIG actively promotes

Study Group
on Ethnomathematics
An affiliate of the
International Study Group on Ethnomathematics
What is ethnomathematics?
The term was coined by Ubiratan D'Ambrosio to describe the mathematical
practices of identifiable cultural groups. It is sometimes used
specifically for small-scale indigenous societies, but in its broadest
sense the "ethno" prefix can refer to any group -- national societies,
labor communities, religious traditions, professional classes, and so
on. 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. NASGEm strives to increase our
understanding of the cultural diversity of mathematical practices, and
to apply this knowledge to education and development.
