No full textSam Hirsch, Oral History Interview, 2025
No full textSam Hirsch is Vice Chair of the EMU Foundation Board of Trustees and member of the Center for Jewish Studies advisory board. A retired pathologist from the University of Michigan, Hirsch first stepped into the EMU community while his daughter was a student here; and joined CJS in part because the founding director, Marty Shichtman, was her favorite professor. Since then, he\u27s developed a greater appreciation for Eastern and the things that distinguish it from U of M. In this interview, Hirsch talks about his unexpected place at EMU as an outsider, what being on the advisory board means, and how he\u27s seen the center\u27s impact continue to grow.https://commons.emich.edu/oral_histories/1247/thumbnail.jp
How math games engage parents with children
No full textThis research study begins to explore how the use of math games focused on foundation skills can potentially support parents and families in mathematics interactions. The primary goal was to examine parents\u27 perceptions of the impact of math games on their engagement with their children. In addition, embedded guides were provided for parents to engage in mathematical discourse, and support specific math strategies. The qualitative study involved the families of six students who were entering fourth grade and attending a summer-school program. The students and their families engaged in a six-week intervention where they received two math board games and support guides for parents. The intermediate elementary age of the participants was chosen to explore how games involving foundational skills supported the engagement. Specifically, the games both involved finding the sum of two single-digit addends. At the start of the intervention, parents were interviewed regarding their prior experiences with math interactions at home. Following the intervention, parents were interviewed to share their perceptions of the experiences with the math games. There was a significant contrast in parents\u27 perceptions of prior experiences with math activities at home and the engagements with the math games. Previously, families had negative experiences mainly with homework that commonly resulted in frustration and potential math anxiety. On the other hand, the experiences with the math games were overwhelmingly positive and also indicated that engagement was sustainable for the length of the intervention. In addition, parents perceived a noticeable increase in single-digit addition fact fluency, which was the embedded foundational skill. These findings support increased opportunities to engage families in math games. Findings also support the use of embedded foundational skills, instead of current grade level skills, as a target area for parents to potentially provide support
Dr. Mary Frances Berry, Oral History Interview, 2025
No full textOn January 20, 2025, Dr. Mary Frances Berry, former chairperson of the US Civil Rights Commission, discussed her role as an ad hoc advisor to the Eastern Michigan University (EMU) Black Student Association (BSA) during the 1969 student demonstrations. Berry, who taught at EMU from 1968 to 1970, highlighted the practical demands of the BSA, such as more black faculty and programs, which were largely met. She contrasted the BSA\u27s success with the less successful anti-Vietnam protests. Berry also recounted her experiences as a war correspondent in Vietnam and her efforts to secure legal representation for Bob Smith during the EMU protests.https://commons.emich.edu/oral_histories/1240/thumbnail.jp

No full textTranspositions: Reflections on Friendship and Nine Days in October with Peter Beilharz and Sian Supski
No full textIn this essay, the author uses the idea of transposition to reflect on Peter Beilharz and Sian Supski\u27s historic visit to Eastern Michigan University and southeast Michigan in October 2024. Transposition is used to deprivatize Robbins\u27s reflections to consider broader and more generalizable concerns relative to pedagogy and educational philosophy. Further, transposition, in this regard, provided a way to reflect on the (increased) importance of friendship in academia.
