On The Development Of Equations In Ancient China, Wanwan Huang

Journal of Humanistic Mathematics

This article explores the evolution of equations in ancient China, detailing the development process through the presentation of various classical mathematics problems spanning four stages. We present these problems and their solutions, both using ancient Chinese terminology and modern language. With this work, we hope to offer an insightful examination of the achievements and limitations of ancient Chinese mathematicians in their work on equations, particularly in relation to culture, practical needs, and human creativity.

An Unlikely Duo: Injecting Art Projects In The Lower-Division Mathematics Classroom, Douglas T. Pfeffer, Christina Durón

Journal of Humanistic Mathematics

Too often society has sterilized mathematics to the point that many view it as drab and deplete of aesthetic intrigue---in higher education, this is particularly true of students in the lower-division classroom. In this paper, we propose the use of art projects as a novel way to alter this perspective. Art projects function as a hands-on, active way to invite students to both identify connections between math and various non-mathematical disciplines as well as view math as overall more intriguing, inviting, and interesting. This paper details our implementation and discusses anonymously solicited survey data that highlights our successes.

Math Is _______: A Study On Prospective Teachers' Perceptions Of Math And Teaching Math, Kayla Mead, Katherine Baker

Journal of Humanistic Mathematics

In this project, we examined one cohort of twenty-eight college students and their perceptions of mathematics at the beginning and end of a semester-long mathematics content course for K-8 prospective teachers (PTs). More specifically, our study explored PTs’ perceptions of what mathematics is and what mathematics teaching is, and how and why those perceptions might change over the semester-long mathematics course. PTs’ perceptions were captured through open-ended surveys and follow-up interviews. Our intention was to better understand the reasonings for changes in perceptions during the course to support teacher educators in their work of preparing prospective teachers.

Stem Major Perspectives For Humanizing Undergraduate Mathematics Classes, Kelly Macarthur, Derek Williams, Bryce Hughes

Journal of Humanistic Mathematics

Using the eight dimensions of the rehumanizing framework [32] by Gutiérrez, built on a sociopolitical foundation, we report on research findings about what Latin* [41], Native American, LGBTQ+ and/or women science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) majors at two primarily white institutions (PWI) perceive as humanizing in their mathematics courses. In analysis of interviews with twenty students, we found that the core aspects of a humanized learning experience center relationality and a caring classroom environment. We then explore tensions that arose regarding the implementation of one teaching strategy reflecting the Cultures & Theirstories rehumanizing dimension, suggesting that implementation of such …

Building A Global Partnership Through A Shared History, Lisa Lacross, Shawn Dillard, Bri Ard, Kern Jackson

International Journal of Transformative Teaching and Learning in Higher Education

Effective global partnerships in higher education promote intercultural awareness (Delong et al., 2011) and influence future study and work abroad experiences by articulating the value of global learning (Lewin, 2009). Seeking to broaden global engagement opportunities for minoritized students, specifically African Americans, one institution developed a virtual exchange program through a global partnership of stakeholders from Ghana, Togo, Benin, Cape Verde, and the United States. Grounded in a shared history of the 2019 discovery of the last reported ship to bring enslaved West Africans to the United States, students from Mobile, Alabama and Cotonou, Benin participated in virtual discussions that …

Embedding According To Al-Zamakhshari In His Interpretation: An Applied Study On Surat Al-Baqarah, Nidal I. Gabareen, Mohsen S. Al-Khaldi

An-Najah University Journal for Research - B (Humanities)

Embedding is one of the remarkable Arabic rhetoric methods. It contains brevity and abbreviation, and various rhetorical secrets such as exaggeration, denigration, expanding meanings, etc. Many commentators and scholars have been concerned with demonstrating The Noble Qur’an's illustrative and rhetorical miracle, and one of the most important interpretations concerned with this aspect is Al-Kashshaf’s interpretation by Al-Zamakhshari. Objective: This research aimed to study different implications mentioned by Al-Zamakhshari in the interpretation of Surat Al-Baqarah in his book. In addition, the study aimed to clarify his rhetorical and devise approach. Methodology: The researchers adopted the inductive, then descriptive and analytical approach. …

The Dominance Of The Center And The Control Of The Memory: Systematic Reading Of The Mu'allaqat Of Imru' Al-Qais And Amr Ibn Kulthum, Mohammad B. Qadri, Abed Alkhaleq Esa

An-Najah University Journal for Research - B (Humanities)

The study attempts to find out the systematic questions in the mu'allaqat of Imru’ al-Qais and Amr ibn Kulthum, relying on a number of theories, perhaps the most important of which are cultural, post-colonial, and hegemonic studies, whether political or masculine. The study follows the approach of cultural and systematic theory that focuses on the text’s systemic boundaries rather than the linguistic and literary boundaries. The study concludes that Imru' al-Qais and Amr can re-read their poetry in terms of their being political, no matter how different their poetic purposes may be, based on their influence on their cultural and …

The Fourth Road, Aulò, Beyond The Frame, And Maka: A Study Guide, Simone Brioni Dr., Lorraine Hallett

Department of English Faculty Publications

This study guide is aimed to help students explore four documentaries about postcolonial culture in Italy: The Fourth Road, Aulò, Beyond the Frame, and Maka. It is the result of a reflection and collective work by a professor who wrote the films and a teaching assistant and previous student of a course on migration studies. Each film features a prominent African Italian writer, respectively Kaha Mohamed Aden, Ribka Sibhatu, Ubah Cristina Ali Farah and Geneviève Makaping. After a brief plot summary, the study guide includes questions about various elements of cinematic style, such as sound, lighting, and genre conventions. It …

Creating A Cultural Liturgy Of Intentional Prayer: Leading Grace Lutheran Church Into Greater Understanding And Engagement With The Surrounding Community, Keith Aschenbeck

Doctor of Ministry Major Applied Project

Aschenbeck, Keith D. “Creating a Cultural Liturgy of Intentional Prayer: Leading Grace Lutheran Church into Greater Understanding and Engagement with the Surrounding Community.” Doctor of Ministry. Major Applied Project, Concordia Seminary, 2025. pp. 166

Grace Lutheran Church, like many churches, has historically approached mission and ministry with the consumer-driven approach model of attraction. The result has often had them looking at how to shape and form how the world sees them so that they would be appealing as a place to worship. This way of approaching ministry has become a cultural liturgy that forms many decisions about what ministry programs …
