Philosophy of Mathematical Practice Meeting next January

[Mathematics Education Researchers (MER) community]

Dear Colleagues,

I wanted to make you all aware of a (quickly approaching) deadline to submit to the conference for the Philosophy of Mathematical Practice. Submissions only require an abstract and keywords. 

Some of our work has interface with this subject and their community has been working to foster bridges with the undergraduate mathematics education community. One instance of this is that Keith Weber will be a keynote speaker at this meeting. 

Details below,

Paul
