Vol. 2 No. 6 (2024): Volume 2 Issue 6
The June 2024 issue of the Journal of Interdisciplinary Perspectives examines what supports learning in and beyond the classroom. Its mathematics studies look at how teaching can be assessed, how students persist through difficulty, and how Indigenous mathematics teachers bring students’ cultures into their practice. Research on parental involvement and teachers’ home visits gives particular attention to the relationship between schools and families.
Two studies examine pressures on rural livelihoods. One documents how backyard hog raisers in Aurora coped with an African swine fever outbreak, while the other explores how crop farmers adapt to climate change. The issue also gives space to single mothers’ experiences of gender-based oppression and to the work of rehabilitation staff who support people after formal treatment for substance use.
Contributions on youth participation in elections, service delivery in local government, and mobile wallet use examine how people take part in civic life and interact with public and digital services.
We thank the authors, reviewers, and editorial team who made this issue possible. We invite readers to consider what these studies offer for their own research and practice.
