Th is essay, based on a summer and fall 2020 placebased research project collaboration between Purdue Honors College students and the Purdue Asian American and Asian Resource and Cultural Center , examines impacts of the COVID19 pandemic to the Asian and Asian American communities. Th e research asks what the impacts of COVID19 are to Asian/American communities, how COVID19 antiAsian racism is unique or not unique, how the Asian American communities have collectively responded to the racism connected to the pandemic, and how Asian American communities displayed solidarity with other communities during this diffi cult time in public health and racial justice. Th e essay connects extensive media and archival research to detail COVID19 impacts in the areas of health and wellness, job security, and social/racial justice. Th e essay then documents the persistent history of stereotyping and racism to Asian/American communities particularly in the midst of larger changes in political, national security, or public health situations. Th e next part of the essay provides an analysis of the rising number of reporting centers utilizing diff erent platforms to counter the experience of racism. Finally, with the tragic deaths of Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and George Floyd that sparked forms of solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement, the essay examines specifi c online and offl ine eff orts in regard to Asian and Asian American solidarity.","PeriodicalId":30386,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Purdue Undergraduate Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73935318","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

N. Dadzie and N. Gurevich, (2019) “Barriers to recruitment of racial minorities into communication disorders,” 2019, surveyed undergraduate students across several Indiana campuses and found that minority students are more likely than white students to prefer having their race/ethnicity represented in their chosen jobs. Dadzie and Gurevich found that the lack of diversity in the field perpetuates itself. Minority students who are underrepresented in a field are therefore less likely to select that field.","PeriodicalId":30386,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Purdue Undergraduate Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85739401","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A case study of 11 prospective mathematics teachers (PMTs) participating in Knowing the World through Mathematics (KWM), a three-credit quantitative reasoning course centered on social justice mathematics, was conducted to determine how KWM supports PMTs’ mathematics identity development. The 11 PMTs’ weekly reflection prompts, course assignments, and preand postcourse questionnaire responses were thematically analyzed, and prominent themes were identified about their beliefs of themselves in relation to the larger mathematics community. Prominent themes included PMTs’ sharing that KWM was eye-opening to both social justice issues and new uses of mathematics, their impartial perspectives of mathematics, and a renewed urgency for taking action to teach mathematics for social justice. Throughout KWM, PMTs engaged with social justice issues while utilizing mathematics as a tool or resource to uncover social injustices. Further, PMTs suggested that mathematics can be conceptualized using different methods, specifically through social justice topics, making mathematics relevant and interesting to all students. Results indicate that KWM, alongside other equityand social justice–focused courses, will continue to be a valuable experience for PMTs to build on in their future classrooms to further expand and spread awareness to students about the powerful connection between mathematics and social justice.","PeriodicalId":30386,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Purdue Undergraduate Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78661351","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"The Preference of the Use of Intuition over Other Methods of Problem Solving by Undergraduate Students","authors":"A. Lucietto, Melissa Cai Shi","doi":"10.7771/2158-4052.1507","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.7771/2158-4052.1507","url":null,"abstract":": Intuition is one of the main factors that drive our everyday decision-making which happens quickly and unconsciously. Individuals often rely on the use of intuition to solve either simple or complex problems. The purpose of this research study is to further break down an individual’s thinking processes by understanding how different groups of individuals utilize intuition to make effective decisions. Major, gender, college year of classification, and ethnicity were the main factors analyzed in the study to identify if these factors have a significant impact on the use of each intuition type. The data collected from a survey distributed to undergraduate students at Purdue University (n=1109) was used to build a regression model for each intuition type: inferential (p = 3.524x10 −11 ), affective (p = 2.200x10 −16 ), holistic big picture (p = 1.755x10 −4 ), and holistic abstract (p = 3.195x10 −7 ). The results showed that inferential intuition was influenced by gender and ethnicity, while all four studied factors major, gender, ethnicity, and college year of classification have an impact on affective intuition. The holistic big-picture intuition model indicated that only gender and college influenced the use of this intuition type. In addition, gender, major, and ethnicity were the main drivers for holistic abstract intuition usage. The study suggests that intuition usage is driven by all four factors with gender as the main factor that have an impact on all four of the types of intuition. These findings provide a deeper insight into the main factors that influence the use of intuition. Abstract The model selected for holistic abstract intuition is composed of college, gender, and ethnicity. These three variables are the only ones that contribute to the use of holistic abstract. There were no interaction terms between factors that contribute to the use of holistic abstract intuition. The p-value of the model was 3.195x10 -7 < 𝛼 = 0.05 which gives us confidence that our model explains well the data collected and the relationship between variables. The intercept was 3.59814 (p-value = 2x10 -16 < 𝛼 = 0.05). The following table breaks down each of the coefficient estimates for the holistic abstract intuition model.","PeriodicalId":30386,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Purdue Undergraduate Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72795757","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
