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. .

Murphy-Mancini has a special connection with the institution’s awe inspiring Gottfried and Mary Fuchs Organ, designed by Paul Fritts. While living in San Diego, he had “the frequent privilege to play [Fritts’] Opus 5,” an early instrument Fritts built in 1985 for All Souls Church in Point Loma. The vibrant music culture at PLU played a significant role in Murphy-Mancini’s decision to

Made of a soft and lightweight wood (ntene from the tree ricinodendron rautanenii) and decorated with pigment, this makonma face mask (also called lipiko) is given a more authentic look by the
Mozambique’s fight for freedom. Finally it should be noted that female feminist leaders started their own lipiko after the war using clay to make their masks. This didn’t fare as well as wood because clay is more fragile and therefore breaks easily, so they began using cloth. Women have only used clay and cloth as masks; there is no record of women using or wearing wooden masks. – Emma McCain ’17, Anthropology Sources: Bortolot, Alexander Ives. “A Language for Change: Creativity and Power in Mozambican

Professor Emeritus of Philosophy Keith Cooper How could it not be inappropriate to take belief in God as a hypothesis to be tested? Faith, as many would say, is a matter of commitment, unconditional commitment that precludes discussion about the strength of its rational support. Since adherents of religious faith are not

no “animal studies program” in any American university. In fact, the phrase “animal studies” does not even exist except as I am here using it informally. Even making the comparison between animals and historically oppressed people is much more likely to offend the people involved than ennoble the cause of animals. This even though many feminists, like Carol J. Adams in The Sexual Politics of Meat: A Feminist-Vegetarian Critical Theory (Continuum 1990), have argued animals and women have both been
