Hicks, Michael D.; Warshauer, Hiroko; Warshauer, Max – High School Journal, 2022
Out-of-school mathematics programs (OSMPs) can be a great benefit for students in STEM. However, little is known about how students perceive the support provided to them by such programs, especially with respect to students of color. In this paper, we draw upon a framework of institutional resource types (Nasir & Cooks, 2009) and performed a…

Mongue, Andrew J.; Colyott, Kaila L. – Journal of Higher Education Outreach and Engagement, 2021
Most people meet insects with fear and disgust, even though few insects pose health risks; in fact, many are beneficial and their absence would adversely affect human life. Such misunderstandings lead to insect conservation being important but unpopular. We addressed these concerns as part of a broader effort to establish an ongoing outreach…
