The Sec Spanish Consortium: Foundations For Linguistic Gratuity And Language Documentation Among Latinx Populations In New Destination Communities Of The U.S. South, Stephen Fafulas, Chad Howe, Rafael Orozco, Alicia Cipria, Erin O'Rourke, Nina Moreno, Matthew J. Van Hoose

Research Products

Latinx populations in the USA have grown steadily in recent decades, with significant increases taking place in “new destination communities” of the U.S. South. The focus of our paper is to highlight opportunities for working with these populations, including traditional sociolinguistic ethnographies and community-engaged research.

Developing A Trauma-Aware Pedagogy, Emily Pitts Donahoe

Events

According to recent reports, nearly half of students who attend college counseling sessions say they have experienced trauma, and rates of post-traumatic stress disorder more than doubled among college students from 2017 to 2022. While instructors are not counselors and cannot treat students’ mental health concerns, it’s important to be aware of how trauma manifests in our classrooms and how we can mitigate its impacts on teaching and learning. In this workshop, we’ll examine the effects of trauma and develop strategies to support five components of trauma-aware teaching: safety; trustworthiness and transparency; peer support; collaboration and mutuality; and empowerment, voice, …

Loose Elements And Paving Matroids, Jagdeep Singh

In this talk, I will give a characterization of binary matroids that contain a loose element. For ternary matroids with a loose element, we show their size is linear in terms of their rank.

Collapse Of Pre-Covid-19 Differences In Performance In Online Vs. In-Person College Science Classes, And Continued Decline In Student Learning, Gregg R. Davidson, Hong Xiao, Kristin Davidson

Faculty and Student Publications

Abstract: Studies comparing student outcomes for online vs. in-person classes have reported mixed results, though with a majority finding that lower-performing students, on average, fare worse in online classes, attributed to the lack of built-in structure provided by in-person instruction. The online/in-person outcome disparity was normative for non-major geology classes at the University of Mississippi prior to COVID-19, but the difference disappeared in the years after 2020. Previously distinct trendlines of GPA-based predictions of earned-grade for online and in-person classes merged. Of particular concern, outcomes for in-person classes declined to match pre-COVID-19 online expectations, with lower-GPA students disproportionally impacted. Objective …
