Ubiratan D'Ambrosio - Module 3 - The International Study Group on Ethnomathematics (ISGEm)

The International Study Group on Ethnomathematics (ISGEm) and its Influence in the Development of the Program Ethnomathematics

At the 63rd Annual Meeting of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM), held in 1985, in San Antonio, Texas, United States, participants Gloria F. Gilmer, Patrick Scott, Gilbert J. Cuevas, and Ubiratan D’Ambrosio, founded the International Study Group on Ethnomathematics. One of the main objectives of ISGEm is to encourage that the field of ethnomathematics continues to grow with a solid research paradigm and serious recognition of how this program guides policy in education, government, peace, and social justice. As ISGEm and ethnomathematics in general grow, the challenges of these times fit into the underlying objectives of ethnomathematics. It is also time for ISGEm to answer this call.
