I argue that an op-ed assignment dovetails with pedagogical goals around democratic citizenship and public sociology. I explain the project's objectives, instructions, and timeline. I present evidence from three…

Amanda J. Shaker; Christopher Brignell; Mathew Pugh – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2025

This study explored the effect of taking a photo of one's study space (i.e., a "studygram" photo similar to a post on Instagram) on students' motivation to…
