Cultural imaginaries or incommensurable ontologies? Relationality and sovereignty as worldviews in socio-technological system transitions
Laughing Out of Math Class: The Vassar Mathematikado and Nineteenth-Century Women's Education
The Mathematikado, created and performed by female students in 1886, parodied Gilbert and Sullivan's The Mikado to argue that women could master college-level math. Responding to social critique of their participation in traditionally male fields of study, these students used humor to prove their fluency in not only scientific knowledge but also popular culture. The Mathematikado participated in a larger phenomenon of rituals to commemorate colle…
Mathematics and Mourning: Textbook Burial and Student Culture Before and After the Civil War, 1853–1880

This practice consistently celebrated the milestone of passing through collegiate mathematics, yet it changed due to national events.
