    Enhancing Our Theoretical Lens: Second-Order Models As Acts of Equity
    (PME-NA, 2023) Hackenburg, Amy J.; Tillema, Erik S.; Gatza, Andrew M.; School of Education
    In this theoretical paper, we respond to a call for all Mathematics Education researchers to become equity researchers (Aguirre et al., 2017) by articulating how equity is foundational to making second-order models of students’ mathematics. First, based on prior research, we view equity to be about power and respect. We define an act of equity as acting on social boundaries with the intent of changing them in order to address known inequities. Second, we explain why making second-order models is an act of equity, showing how it respects students and can affect power in research settings. Third, we demonstrate how attention to social identity categories and social identities can enhance current second-order models to better support acts of equity.

    The Manifestations of Generosity: From Cooperation to Social Justice
    (Palgrave Macmillan, 2020) Herzog, Patricia Snell
    This chapter details the various manifestations of generosity, such as giving money, possessions, time, attention, aid, encouragement, and emotional availability. Particular attention is paid to the relationship between philanthropy and generosity. Other important manifestations include cooperation, informal helping, relational generosity, charitable giving, volunteering, political action, blood and organ donation, and social justice. People can make generous gifts through a charitable, philanthropic, or civic organization or through less formal means, including within marriages, family relationships, and social networks. Macro-, meso-, and micro-level social goods are explained and provide a conceptual framework for understanding the focus of each study. The appendix to the book describes the process of studying generosity. It begins by visualizing a research roadmap that illustrates key steps in the process of conducting research. Next, several methods of data collection are summarized, including experiments, surveys, in-depth interviews, existing data and secondary analysis, mixed methods, meta-analysis, and literature reviews. The difference between production and consumption of research is summarized, as is the iterative process to conducting research.
