I have posted the above picture on this page as it reminds me of a central theme in enactivism that one's structure is
formed by the combined influence of one's biological constitution and one's history of interaction with the world. What type
of writings might I have posted here if I had lived the life of the man in the portrait above? And who is he?
I started this webpage after I became interested in enactivism as a learning theory and began talking about these ideas
at conferences - especially my SAARMSTE plenary paper in Namibia. I was asked to make my writings on the topic available
and you will find these on the 'My Recent Articles' page.
As I started speaking about my learnings of the past decade I realised that I had been strongly influenced by some remarkable
students that I had been privileged to work with so I opened another page so that their work could be accessed - see 'Student
Writing'.
Many students asked for access to some of the poems and quotations that I use in my sessions so I have made these
available on the 'Favourite Poems and Quotations' page.
Finally, when I came to prepare for my PME Plenary paper for Seoul in 2007, I was forced to look back at my early influences
in mathematics education which came from the time of struggle in South Africa. Since I refer to several of these early hard-to-access papers
in that plenary paper, I have made some of them available on the 'Pre-1995 Articles' page.
