Abstract
Jon was a passionate advocate for mathematics research and education. It is a sense of joviality and inquiry that sustained his dedication to both. His active engagement with the communication and growth of mathematics research and pedagogy crossed popular and academic lines, and spanned from primary to tertiary platforms. The papers contained in this volume showcase his dynamic set of research interests, which is equally mirrored in the education-themed section of the September 2017 Jonathan Borwein Commemorative Conference, and its satellite meetings on Indigenising mathematics curricula, entitled “Mathematics and Education: Spirit, Culture and Community”. As a somatic approach, haptics and heuristics became integral to Jon’s model of mathematical education, with long-reaching ramifications, which this section explores through topical considerations.
