• Approaching Proof in a Community of Mathematical Practice (2008, methodology): “May (2001) points out that the method of grounded theory ignores the idea of theory altogether and entails that our presuppositions about social life remain hidden, but still influence decisions and interpretations (ibid.”
• Explanations in the wild. (2021, unknown): “Other kinds of explanation exist, such as mathematical explanation (Mancosu, 2001; Mejía-Ramos et al., 2019) and formal explanation (Prasada, 2017).”
