report the use of a novel assay and replica plate system for the characterization of Saccharomyces cerevisiae that acquired drug resistance to the arginine analogue canavanine. This new technique allowed us to calculate the early mutation rates of clones in a wild type (WT) strain and a strain deficient in a DNA repair glycosylase (ogg1∆), and late mutation frequencies of clones that potentially acquired drug resistance by the Retromutagenesis pathway. Comparison of the late mutation frequencies

life. Jessica McGifford, Class of 2012I was sold on being a WMGS major really early in my first year at PLU. By the end of the third week of that fall semester, I wanted to sign up for WMGS 201 and see what all the fuss was about. That class opened my eyes to issues I had never seen, had never considered. Why does the media over sexualize women? How come motherhood is prized above fatherhood? Coupled with my Sociology major, my degree in WMGS helps me understand how gender and sexuality influence

Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice (1813), describes a society whose members, constantly fearing the loss of personal reputation, ask themselves this question like a reprimand: What will people say? The title’s timeless alliteration also displays how words shape reputation’s near relation–memory. Soniah Kamal’s Unmarriageable (2019),…
language impacts cultural and personal memory. Set in Pakistan in the early 2000s, the novel follows Alys Binat and her sisters as they navigate the marriage market, female identity, and British and Pakistani influences on their self-expression. Kamal translates “What will people say?” into Urdu: ” کہیںگے/ Log kya kahenge” (35). She applies a post-colonialist perspective to the question by asking not only how society will judge an individual’s actions, but how Pakistan will speak for itself as it works

Two PLU professors were recently invited to teach a summer intensive course at Sichuan University, a 70,000-student public university in Chengdu, China. PLU and Sichuan have a decades-long relationship that dates back to the 1980s. PLU faculty visits took place in 2023, and in summer…
high school and only for a few years. In China, and most of the rest of the world, they take language classes early on because they see the value of bilingualism. How was it different from teaching at PLU? Auman: We met for three to four hours each day, for five days. It was kind of like teaching a week of J-term at PLU. I broke the class into small groups, but I felt like they did not have a lot of experience with that. Students all spoke English, but their skills and comfort level varied

Message from Seth Dowland, WMGS Chair: We are delighted to present the abstracts of our 2020 Women's and Gender Studies capstone students.
The Possibility of Imagining Otherwise: Deconstructing Value Through Love for the Gendered Other in Childrens' Picture BooksWhere do children learn the “right” ways of being: of inhabiting a body or expressing their gender? And why is it that upon reaching adulthood, after a lifetime of learning these “right” ways, we have an overwhelming amount of unlearning to do in order to value our own differences? Early childhood education takes place in many spaces, be it within the home, preschool, daycare
