This session features four talks that explore various ways of interpreting the session theme and thus of revealing the full range of peoples and cultures who have engaged with mathematics and its philosophy. Presentation titles include: “Teaching Underrepresented Students in the 19th Century: The Reactions of Black American Pupils and Teachers to Charles Davies’s Textbooks”; “Heavy Issues: Bob Moses & the Algebra Project”; “Which number is that? On notational privilege”; and “Ethnomathematics: the intersection of culture, history, and mathematics”.
