[SIGCIS-Members] Material and embodied practices of people doing mathematics, symbolic logic, and calculation

[Jeffrey Mathias]

Depending on what you mean by embodied practices, my colleague Ellen Abrams
<https://ellenabrams.org/> just finished a great dissertation on
masculinity and American mathematics in the first half of the 20th c. that
fits this bill. See her article “An Inalienable Prerogative of a Liberated
Spirit: Postulating American Mathematics.

British Journal for the History of Mathematics (2020): 1-21.
