Drying My Eyes and Smile
Get PDFYuanya Zhang was born in a rural village in Mainland China. As a girl, non-local, and first-gen college student, she has been through lots of moments of "crying" throughout her education, from schools in a small town to universities in Hong Kong and the UK. In this narrative, Yuanya deliberately selects moments in her life that have led to her growth and helped her to develop perseverance and resilience as she managed to overcome challenges by drying her eyes and smiling
What is MACIMISE?
Get PDFMathematics and Culture in Micronesia: Integrating Societal Experiences (MACIMISE) was a collaborative research and development project led by Pacific Resources for Education and Learning (PREL) and the University of Hawai`\u27i at Manoa. It was funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation (Grant No. 0918309). Founded on ethnomathematics research, the project aimed to improve mathematics teaching and learning for first-, fourth-, and seventh-grade elementary school students in ten Pacific island groups. The project team included 21 master\u27s and doctoral students from the region who developed and field-tested culturally and linguistically sustaining grade-level curriculum units in mathematics topics such as numbers and counting, division of whole numbers and fractions, and geometry. Project leaders and advisors provided feedback as graduate students developed and piloted lessons. Associated research focused on the indigenous mathematics learning experiences embedded within the respective island communities. The late Dr. Sandy Dawson (PREL, University of Hawai`\u27i) and Dr. Thomas Craven (University of Hawai`i) were the original Principal Investigators of MACIMISE. Dr. Donald Rubinstein (PREL; University of Guam) took over for Sandy Dawson in November 2014. This article, taken from reporting on the project by Sandy Dawson, gives background and framing for the articles in this special issue

Using Google Earth for Archaeological Research: A Virtual Survey of the Inca Road Network between Machu Picchu and Choquequirao
Get PDFIn the face of a global pandemic, disciplines like archaeology that rely on field research have had to adapt to remote investigation settings. Following the launch of Google Earth (GE) in 2005, researchers have postulated and tested its utility for archaeological research. Archaeologists have recognized its potential as a tool for visualization, educational purposes, and research applications like remote sensing. For example, since 2016, the GlobalXplorer Project directed by Dr. Sarah Parcak of the University of Alabama at Birmingham has demonstrated the utility of satellite imagery for identifying and monitoring archaeological looting, in addition to discovering and preserving sites previously unknown to archaeologists. However, more research is needed to assess its usefulness to the survey of previously studied areas in mountainous and heavily forested terrain like in the Central Andes of South Americ
