Faculty Work Comprehensive List

In Mathematics for Human Flourishing, Francis E. Su introduced The Game of Cycles, a game played on a finite simple planar graph. In game play, opponents alternate adding direction to the edges of the graph with the goal of creating a cycle or making the last legal move. Recent work has sought to determine winning strategies on certain classes of graphs. We introduce a tabular representation of a game state and provide a computer program that determines which player has a winning strategy on any legal game board. The program builds a directed graph of all possible game states, utilizing …

As the climate crisis intensifies, U.S. federal policies play a critical role in addressing the disproportionate environmental burdens borne by marginalized communities. This thesis assesses how equity, environmental social justice, and intersectionality have been integrated into the policy documents of three key federal agencies: Department of Transportation (DOT), Department of Energy (DOE), and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), over a 20-year period (2004–2024). Using a quantitative content analysis of 46 policy documents, the study evaluates five core dimensions: depth of discussion, clarity of language, inclusiveness of marginalized groups, action-oriented language, and environmental justice considerations. The research reveals significant interagency disparities, with …
