Some subscribers to TIPS and TeachEdPsy might be interested in a discussion-list post "Re: The Journal of Humanistic Mathematics #2" [Hake (2011b)].
The abstract reads: ************************************* ABSTRACT: In response to my post "Louis Paul Benezet and the 'Journal of Humanistic Mathematics' " [Hake (2011a)], Kirby Urner wrote: "JHM has lots of interesting content. . . . To have everything hinge on any one figure, be that Piaget, Benezet, Escalante or anyone, seems a rather dim-witted approach to any narrative." Kirby's unjustified (IMHO) barb may have been provoked by my failure to provide more information on JHM. In atonement I herewith give the URL's: (a) <http://bit.ly/lo8U6L> for JHM's homepage where it's stated that JHM in an online-only, open-access, peer-reviewed journal at <http://scholarship.claremont.edu/jhm/>; (b) <http://bit.ly/k75Lht> for the webinar discussing JHM and its community; (c) <http://bit.ly/kgaF8m> for the first issue of JHM, which provides free downloads of the articles in that issue. CORRECTION: The Benezet articles were published in the "Humanistic Mathematics Newsletter" (HMN), not JHM as stated in Hake (2011). HMN was evidently a precursor to both the new "Journal of Humanistic Mathematics" (JHM), and *its* precursor the "Humanistic Mathematics Network Journal" (HMNJ). *********************************** To access the complete 11 kB post please click on <http://bit.ly/kETBhc>.
