the culmination of a series of creative expression workshops co-taught by Collis and PLU Professor Jennifer Smith. The group of 10 students in the International Honors program visited WCCW four times over several weeks. The class, “IHON 253: Gender, Sexuality and Culture,” will be offered again in the spring.  “This class provides opportunities for students to explore identity in complex ways that are connected to their everyday lives,” Smith said. “We theorize out of experience and apply theory

PLU’s NicarAGUA Project (2015).   Diverse Perspectives and The Matrix When it comes to the Innovation Studies Minor program at PLU, social innovation is an integral aspect of the coursework. “I’m excited for Innovation Studies, and I’m excited that this is the lens that students at PLU get to look through because that I think this is really rich- to be able to look at things from so many different

opportunity to see what great printmaking is being accomplished all over the country and connecting the Pacific Northwest to the larger printmaking community of the nation.” Printmaking encompasses etching, lithography, relief and serigraph works, and it is unique in that it requires a matrix before the artwork can be produced. Because of this matrix, printmaking is part craft, part sculpture, part drawing and a lot of process and experience. Etching requires a metal plate, lithography typically requires

university's curriculum caters to those eclectic interests. Beyoncé and Black Feminist Theory“Who Beyoncé is for?” is not usually a question that you ask when you’re bopping your head to “Single Ladies,” or “Partition,” or any of the other hundreds of hit songs that have made Beyoncé a worldwide music icon.

, for which psychologist Daniel Kahneman won the 2002 Nobel prize in economics. It proposes that people aren’t always trying to maximize benefits, but are paying attention to a benchmark. In this case, the benchmark is par. “Do golfers pay attention to par? Yes, they sit in it,” Reiman said. This is in contrast to neoclassical economic theory that says that people are always trying to better their situation given the constraints they face. The Economics of Golf was split into two sections in order

National Council on Family Relations (NCFR). Each year, the committee recognizes authors of a qualitative journal article or book chapter published during the previous year which, in the estimation of the members of the committee, makes the most significant contribution to the area of family theory, methods, and/or research that comes from qualitative tradition. The award is named for Anslem Strauss, whose life work was to develop and practice qualitative methodologies. The NCFR is the nation’s premier

This aspect was very eye-opening and valuable because it helped to ensure the transition from theory to practice.Achieving long-term career goalsI believe that the entire kinesiology department as well as the bachelor’s and master’s in kinesiology prepared me to achieve my long term career goals. Throughout my time at PLU, I have learned the importance of making a difference and helping people in any way that I can to help them live healthier and
