In many ways, my experience at AG has bridged the gap between theory and practice; we consistently apply economic concepts to real-world problems,” Dolan said.  His philosophy courses also have come into play.  “All the reading and writing that I’ve done in my

there.What did you enjoy about collaborating and researching with Professors [Peter] Grosvenor and Hames? I really appreciate the international relations theory aspect that Dr. Grosvenor was able to provide, as he has been to Palestine. I was able to get feedback and more nuance from him. I don’t shy away from peer reviews, because they just make the paper stronger, having multiple sets of eyeballs on it. Dr. Hames assisted me in tailoring some of the writing, because this paper is what I used when

. “Oregon had a top-notch interdisciplinary philosophy program where I could study consciousness theory from a philosophy foundation.” His PLU mentors — Shore, Dana Anderson, and John Moritsugu — continued to help guide Bell and point to opportunities, like those he found at the University of Oregon. His time at Oregon was “one of the more selfish times of my life where I could just ask these questions that intrigued me so deeply, and really self-search and discover,” he said. Bell planned to try to

may utilize the CREP for meta-analyses and their own research interests. As Dr. Grahe explains, “The advantages relate to both pedagogy and theory in psychology.” Dr. Jordan Wagge, who recently assumed the role of Executive Director of the CREP, described Dr. Grahe’s role in the open science movement as an advocate and educator. “He’s been a tremendous force behind open science and crowdsourcing. He is also a significant actor in getting journals to adopt badges for open science practices and many

stimulated more than defined further work in this field. A number of recently founded journals now specialize in addressing issues raised by the interpenetration of history and narrative, including New Literary History, Representations, Clio, and History and Theory. A “narrativist philosophy of history” (the phrase is F. B. Ankersmit’s) has thus constituted itself in the last quarter-century as a new school of interpretation in the field of philosophy of history. The situation has reached a point at

animals will be gone before their habitat is destroyed due to illegal and excessive hunting. Part of the problem is the human view of these nonhuman animals. Instead of being seen as beings valuable in their own right, they are seen as a resource for human needs and desires. Further evidence of this is found in the use of these same creatures, in captivity, for biomedical research and entertainment. As philosophers, we are examining the current crises faced by captive and free living apes. We are

have a negative effect on birth mothers who had been promised secrecy by social workers at the time they had relinquished their babies. My earlier research was ambivalent on this issue, there not being sufficient evidence to support a conclusion, one way or another. But the paper I delivered in Sydney, based on new research in Great Britain and Australia as well as the United States, addressed this issue. My paper was the first one to test empirically how safe birth parents and adopted adults were

PLU’s office of Campus Ministry. After a bunch of discussions, Alazadi and others around campus of various faiths created the Reflection Room, a place for students of all faiths – or those with no professed faith – to reflect and think.   Brenda Ihssen, visiting assistant professor of religious history and historical theology, added that these clubs are evidence “that there is an open dialogue between the academic study of religion and the interest–and investment–that individuals have in their faith

wondered if the United States had its own Stolen Generations. Had authorities forcibly removed American Indian children just as they had Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children in Australia?” They had. In its review of A Generation Removed, which it called a “nuanced, scholarly work … that calls for ‘a full historical reckoning’ of this devastating chapter in the treatment of Native Americans,” Kirkus Reviews said: “With no evidence of neglect required, the children were institutionalized
