Eventmath/Participants/List

Hi there!

If you reached this page after clicking the join button, you can head back to the Participants page to see the result. If you just happened across this page and are looking to browse the list of participants, you'll want to head over to the Participants page as well. The current page only exists for technical reasons.

How to edit an entry

To edit your entry in the participants list, just edit it directly on this page, by clicking the Edit source tab near the top of the page. The entry on the Participants page will be updated automatically.

How to add an entry

Use the Join button on the Participants page.

What's the purpose of this page?

The current page exists only for technical reasons...

Still reading? Okay, here's the technical stuff if you care to know. Entries to the participants list get added to the current page via the Join button of the Participants page, and then the current page is transcluded into the Participants page in the appropriate place. Why? Otherwise, the InputBox extension that's used to implement the Join button will simply place each entry at the very bottom of the wikitext on the Participants page. When that happens, the entries are placed outside of the main container of the page, so that they appear outside of the Eventmath content.

The list

Greg Stanton (he/him)

• Twitter: @HigherMathNotes
• User: Greg at Higher Math Help
• Bio: Hi there! I'm a professional tutor of high-school through graduate-level math. I was inspired by a conversation on Twitter to propose Eventmath and am one of two Wikimedia grantees working to get this project off the ground. I’m excited to see what we can make together!

Brendan W. Sullivan (he/him)

• User: Professorbrendan
• Bio: I am also one of two Wikimedia grantees working on this project. I've been teaching undergraduate mathematics for 7+ years (12+ including graduate school) and have experience using current events articles in the classroom to teach quantitative reasoning and problem-solving skills. I hope this project will make it easier for teachers and students to explore how mathematical thinking is useful in our modern world.

Jyotika Wadhwa

• User: jodubdub

Suzie Garfield

• User: Suzie Garfield
• Bio: I’m interested in informal education, particularly in on-the-job and more structured business training and in promoting quantitative literacy by embedding it into the stories I tell as a professional and business storyteller. My experience has been in business, technology, education, and performance. In the past, I’ve worked as a computer programmer and classroom teacher. Now I am mostly a consultant, trainer, storyteller, coach, and mentor.

Linda McGuire

• User: Lindamc29
• Bio: I have been teaching the full spectrum of undergraduate mathematics courses for over 20 years. I also teach interdisciplinary courses in other programs such as writing, women and gender studies, and social justice. I try my best to cultivate collaborative learning spaces and I am hopeful that the Eventmath wiki will be a site of collaboration with other teaching-focused colleagues around the globe.

Asia Matthews

• User: Asia.Matthews
• Bio: I teach undergraduates how to think mathematically and to use this knowledge to figure out how to be in this world as one of many. I’ve been teaching undergraduate mathematics since my Master’s degree in 2005 and I like to push my students to be mathematically creative. As of 2022 I have been teaching at Quest University Canada for +/- 5 years.

Jessie Oehrlein (she/her)

• Twitter: @numberdance
• User: Jessoehrlein
• Bio: I teach undergraduate statistics and mathematics and have been at Fitchburg State University since 2021. By research area, I'm at atmospheric/climate scientist.

Debasmita Basu

• User: basud2
• Bio: I teach Quantitative Reasoning and Mathematics at Eugene Lang College of Liberal Arts at The New School, and I am the Director of the Quantitative Reasoning program at my institution. Before pursuing my doctoral studies, I was a high school mathematics teacher in India for 4 years. As a cisgender woman of color, I aim to design mathematical activities that cultivate students’ critical consciousness towards various social and environmental justice issues and help them realize the power of mathematics.

Carrie Muir

• User: Carrie Muir
• Bio: I'm a community college math professor, and have been teaching undergrad mathematics since before Y2K. I frequently teach quantitative literacy and statistics courses.

Dave Jehle

• User: davidejehle
• Bio: BS in Math (RPI), MA in Math (SUNY at Buffalo) and MBA (RIT). Worked as a manufacturing systems consultant for 30+ years. As consulting engagements wound down, began adjunct teaching over the last seventeen years. Have taught a wide range of undergraduate classes from Basic Mathematics through Calculus, Statistics and Discrete Mathematics.

Phillip Andreae

• User: Phillip Andreae
• Bio: I teach courses including statistics, calculus, proofs, and geometry at Meredith College in Raleigh, NC. My background is in differential geometry, but recently I have gotten interested in math and democracy, especially gerrymandering and voting methods. I enjoy math when it makes sense, and I want to help students make their own sense out of math, including math in the news

Ozlem Ugurlu (she/her)

• Twitter: @Ozziugurlu
• User: Ougurlu
• Bio: I received my Bs and MSc in Mathematics in Turkey. In 2013, I moved to the USA to pursue my doctorate in Mathematics at Tulane University, New Orleans, LA. Since then, I have been teaching undergraduate/graduate level courses. I have no editing experience on Wiki; however, it is important to me that I can provide my students with accessible and tangible learning experiences. So, I am excited to be part of this project.

Erik Wallace

• User: ErikWallace
• Bio: I am currently an Assistant Math professor at Hartwick College. I have been teaching since the beginning of my time as a graduate student at Indiana University in 2008, and have taught a wide range of undergraduate classes to both majors and non-majors. My current teaching style emphasizes hands-on approaches, such as guided activities, games, and problem solving.

Andrew J. Miller (he/him)

• User: AJMillerMath
• Bio: I am a professor of mathematics at Belmont University in Nashville, TN, USA. I have been promoting and designing quantitative literacy curricula for undergraduates for 15+ years, including a redesign of Belmont's general education mathematics requirement that focuses on quantitative literacy. A key component of quantitative literacy education is finding rich contemporary contexts in which to apply quantitative skills, a need that I hope is partially met by this project!

Tara Taylor

• User: Ttaylor_stfx
• Bio: I am full professor at St. Francis Xavier University in Antigonish, Nova Scotia, Canada. I have been teaching undergraduate mathematics for 20+ years. I often teach math concepts classes that are electives. The students have a range of backgrounds and career paths. I want to help them see how meaningful their mathematical reasoning can be for understanding the real world.

Anne Yust (she/her)

• User: Aeyust
• Bio: I have been teaching undergraduate mathematics since 2010. I spent four of those years teaching quantitative reasoning at Eugene Lang College of Liberal Arts at The New School, which got me excited about contextualizing mathematics. Now I'm a teaching professor at the University of Pittsburgh. I’m always looking for new ways to introduce relevant social and environmental issues into every mathematics course.
