Encyclopedia of Mathematics and Society
by
Sarah J. Greenwald (Editor); Jill E. Thomley (Editor)
In Main collection; Also ebook.
"The goal of The Encyclopedia of Mathematics and Society is to weave multilayered connections between society, history, people, applications, and mathematics. These connections address both mathematical concepts that our readers likely have been exposed to at school, work, or through other sources, as well as advanced topics that are built upon these fundamental ideas. The articles in the Encyclopedia, which were contributed by a broad spectrum of authors in many fields, also include connections to multiple disciplines within and outside of mathematics."

Alternative Forms of Knowing (in) Mathematics: Celebrations of Diversity of Mathematical Practices
by
Swapna Mukhopadhyay (Volume Editor); Wolff-Michael Roth (Volume Editor)
"Starting from the position that mathematics is a human construction, implying that it cannot be separated from its historical, cultural, social, and political contexts, the purpose of these lectures was to provide a public intellectual space to interrogate conceptions of mathematics and mathematics education, particularly by looking at mathematical practices that are not considered relevant to mainstream mathematics education." Chapter titles include Ethnomathematics, Mathematics Education for Social Justice, etc.
