Through His Eyes: The Life Of American Pows In Germany And Ben Phelper’S Diary, Bianca Shah

Armstrong Undergraduate Journal of History

This paper aims to examine the treatment American prisoners of war experienced at the hands of their German captors during World War II. Ben Phelper, a US Airman who was taken captive by the Germans from 1943-1945, wrote a diary detailing his daily life while living in the stalags. This research uses Phelper’s diary to understand what life was like for Americans in German POW camps and compares Phelper’s experience to existing literature on how Germans treated their American POWs. This paper specifically focuses on four aspects of Phelper’s life in relation to the provisions of the Geneva Convention, the …

False Friends: The Pereiaslav Agreement Of 1654 And Competing Narratives In Russian And Ukrainian Historiographies, Jiansheng Zhang

Armstrong Undergraduate Journal of History

The Pereiaslav Agreement of 1654, concluded between the Cossack Hetmanate and the Grand Duchy of Muscovy at the Pereiaslav Rada, marked the beginning of modern Cossack-Muscovite (in perspective, Ukrainian-Russian) relations. Owing to its central role in shaping both Russian and Ukrainian national narratives, the agreement remains a highly contentious event in Eastern European history. Historians from the Russian and Ukrainian historiographical traditions offer divergent interpretations of how the agreement was conceived and received by the Cossacks and Muscovites. Drawing on a wide range of primary and secondary sources, this essay critically examines these competing narratives and concludes that Ukrainian historiography—emphasizing …

Qisas: The Incremental Formation Of Jihad Amidst The Islamic Mujahideen Across The Middle And Near East, Jenny N. Liang

Armstrong Undergraduate Journal of History

Since its inception in seventh-century Arabia, Islamic thought and the concept of jihad have been present among Islamic scholars. Nevertheless, despite a history of conflict with Western nations through religious wars in the Near and Middle East, the rapid transformation of Islamic extremism by means of global terrorism in the late twentieth- and early twenty-first century ultimately traces to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and the rise of the Mujahideen. Islamic yearning for retribution through strategic retaliation began after December 1979, when Soviet Red Army troops invaded Afghanistan. Following the resolution of World War II and the emergence of a …

Time To Rock: A Journey Through Sound And Style, Katie Innes, Angel Lockett

Gretsch Exhibitions by Georgia Southern University

“Time to Rock” explores the rise, fall, and revival of Gretsch as a defining force in electric guitar history. Featuring models like the Electromatic, Duo Jet, Country Gentleman, and the Beast, this exhibit traces how Gretsch transitioned from acoustic to electric guitars throughout the twentieth century.

Law As A Tool Of Empire: A Transhistorical Comparison Of Mandate Palestine And Ancient Rome, Will L. Hisle

Armstrong Undergraduate Journal of History

Through a comparative analysis of Law and Identity in Mandate Palestine by Assaf Likhovski, and A Legal History of Rome by George Mousourakis, this essay demonstrates that law was crucial to the expansion of empire. When read in tandem, these monographs provide a transhistorical framework for viewing law outside of itself, as a mechanism of colonial and imperial domination.

A Tale Of Two Eras: The Evolution Of The Gretsch Jet Firebird, Angel Lockett, Katie Innes

Gretsch Exhibitions by Georgia Southern University

“A Tale of Two Eras” explores the Gretsch Jet Firebird electric guitar over the years with one example from 1956 under family leadership, and another from 1971 during the Baldwin era. Though both instruments share a bold red finish, their design and sound reflect shifting company visions and rock history. Used by artists like Malcolm Young, the 6131 Jet Firebird has helped shape the look and tone of rock music.

Holocaust Memorialization & Memory: Serbia’S Strange Remembrance Of The Shoah At Sajmište, Henry Gilson

Armstrong Undergraduate Journal of History

The changing landscape of Shoah memory in Serbia has largely gone unexamined. Using the Staro Sajmište concentration camp site and its in situ memorial as a focal point, this paper examines how Holocaust remembrance in Serbia has shifted across historical periods, often marked by erasure, marginalization, and historical revisionism. Official narratives frequently redirected attention away from the Jewish victims murdered at Staro Sajmište toward emphasizing Serbian suffering, particularly at the Ustaše-operated Jasenovac camp. Political pressures and the strategic use and placement of commemorative plaques facilitated this narrative shift. Only in response to international scrutiny and scandals has substantial progress been …

One Last Victory: The 1980 Moscow Olympics And The Ussr’S Final Golden Moment, Pablo Boluda

Armstrong Undergraduate Journal of History

While much of the existing scholarship on the 1980 Moscow Olympics focuses on Jimmy Carter’s infamous boycott, a closer examination from the Soviet perspective reveals a distinctive moment in Cold War history. Set against escalating global tensions following the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, the Kremlin capitalized on the Games to project strength, unity, and international legitimacy. Although the Western boycott affected the Games, it created an opportunity for the USSR to showcase socialist athletic excellence and strengthen diplomatic ties with Non-Aligned nations, many of which resisted U.S. pressure to abstain. The Games were transformed into a carefully orchestrated ideological spectacle. …

Layer By Layer: Elevating Mathematics Learning With 3d Printing, Jia He, Eryn Michelle Maher, Heidi Eisenreich, Ha Nguyen

Proceedings of the Annual Meeting of the Georgia Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators

This article explores how 3D printing, particularly through the free and widely used slicing program Cura, can support the Concrete-Representational-Abstract (CRA) instructional model in alignment with Georgia Department of Education (GaDOE) mathematics standards. Through the CRA lens, students engage with tangible models, modify drawings and diagrams, and connect these experiences to symbols and formulas through a cyclical process. Cura’s design and printing processes invite authentic mathematical reasoning about geometry, measurement, and proportionality. Real-world constraints, such as infill density and support structures, create opportunities for students to explore relationships among shape, size, and resource optimization. By sharing approachable examples and classroom …

Oer Financial Literacy Curriculum For Mathematics Educators And Georgia’S New Mandates, Marnie Phipps, Patty Condict, John Bragelman

Proceedings of the Annual Meeting of the Georgia Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators

In 2022, Georgia agencies added new financial literacy requirements for both high school students and teacher qualifications to enhance financial literacy across the state. In response, a group of faculty members in an education preparation program acquired funding and developed a financial literacy curriculum for secondary preservice teachers. The OER curriculum was implemented in a senior-level capstone course. This manuscript presents a pilot study of the curriculum, including data collection and analysis for the project.

Tools, Differentiation, And Professional Growth: What Preservice Teachers Gain From Attending A Mathematics Teaching Conference, Heidi Eisenreich, India Fleming

Proceedings of the Annual Meeting of the Georgia Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators

This study explores how Preservice Teachers’ (PSTs’) attendance at a professional mathematics teaching conference influences their development as future teachers. Fourteen University PSTs attended the Georgia Mathematics Conference (GMC), a two-and-a-half-day teaching conference for K–16 mathematics teachers and administrators. Using constant comparative analysis to code qualitative data, we analyzed responses from one question on tool usage in pre- and post- conference surveys. Initial findings indicate that conference attendance increased PSTs' commitment to ongoing professional development, while simultaneously helping them develop more nuanced understandings of the complexity of teaching.
