Professor of Hispanic and Latino Studies | Hispanic and Latino Studies | byaden@plu.edu | 253-535-7283 | I am a proud native of Tacoma and first generation college student that began my formal second language study in high school. My grandparents were native speakers of Gaelic who immigrated to Tacoma, so my love of languages and cultures started early. I stayed local for college, earning my BA in Spanish from WWU and my MA and PhD in Romance linguistics from the UW. I was fortunate to be able to study away in many locations over the years, including Spain, Guatemala, and Russia. In addition to Spanish, I have studied Latin, Portuguese, and Russian. I’m passionate about second language acquisition and linguistics as well as supporting pre-service ELL, bilingual, and world language teachers. My service to PLU and to the profession is a big part of my lift outside of teaching and scholarship. Most recently, I’ve served as the 2020 president of our national world language teacher association of over 12,000 educators (ACTFL) and I serve as PLU’s Associate Provost for Undergraduate Programs. .

Immigrant described as ‘crawling’ causes professor to take a closer look By Chris Albert, University Communications Adela Ramos will never forget the day when, as a graduate student at Columbia University in New York City, she was reading a “New York Times” article about a…
described that way, animals are. “It wasn’t the journalist being derogatory,” Ramos, an assistant professor of English, said of the article. “But it was animalizing the immigrant. It’s one way of dehumanizing people – for sure.” In fact, Ramos noted that using the word “crawling” to describe an immigrant was not simply limited to this one instance – it had become accepted. For Ramos, that was troubling. “Language says a lot about how we see the world,” she said. Ramos has been fascinated with language

Renaissance recovery of ancient languages, Luther translated the German Bible (1534), which shaped most profoundly German language and culture, and also global civilization through the Reformation. Just so, the brilliant translating work of Luther’s contemporary William Tyndale led to one of the most beautiful books in English, the King James Bible. But Francesco Petrarca, Lorenzo Valla, and a host of others in various humanistic disciplines equally played their parts in Renaissance culture. The

TACOMA, WASH. (May 6, 2016)- Kelly Hall couldn’t decide on a major when she first came to Pacific Lutheran University. “I didn’t know for sure what I wanted to do, and several fields I explored just didn’t fit right,” said Hall, a senior at PLU.…
. Rather it is something that exists within many words.” Hall worked with a tribal elder to come up with a phrase equivalent to the English word interconnectedness. “When I talked to my tribal elder and asked him if we had a word to explain interconnectedness, the first thing he said was -mixw, a suffix in our language that means life force or anything with life force in it, like the earth,” she said. “A lot of our words in our language have to do with life and the environment, and that is why there is
