Students gain an appreciation of the relationship between theory and application, and learn firsthand about new developments in a particular field.   An academic internship/cooperative education experience enables students to gain skills and competencies, apply academic learning to the workplace, and receive

Celebrating the Life of Thor HeyerdahlThe year 2014 is a big year in Norway.  Not only is the 200th anniversary of the constitution being celebrated, but it also the 100th birthday of one the country’s most beloved citizens, the explorer and writer, Thor Heyerdahl.  Heyerdahl first came to the world’s attention in 1947 for his dramatic Pacific voyage aboard the “Kon-Tiki,” an experimental replica of an ancient seagoing raft built to test the possibilities of a scientific theory.  The expedition

,” studied “the law of least mental effort”—the theory that people will choose a low-demand task over a high-demand one when given a choice. Perhaps ironically, the research itself was rather demanding. “This was a huge project,” Henderson said. “We had to get students to take the test, and participants had to sit at a computer for 30 minutes and choose between two colors to click on. We had to use this weird math system. We probably worked on it 20 hours per week.” Based in a toasty two-computer

build knowledge and healthy practices. Clean water is important, though how clean water is used is transformative. You are a bit nervous, though the training provided as part of the program by interdisciplinary PLU faculty that shares about the country, region, politics, culture, and customs is very helpful. You begin to understand the foundation of Transformative Learning Theory, the theoretical and applied foundation for this course, from Dr. Mulder. You realize that this is so much more than a

theory and methods classes; and two new courses specifically designed for students who plan to use their education background for educational work in non-school community institutions, such as: museums, environmental education centers, performing arts organizations, businesses, etc. This education background along with the student’s area of academic emphasis will be taken into consideration for the job-shadow and internship components of this program.

? This study is grounded in my own personal experiences in a Black female academic space and through stories of Black womxn to illustrate mechanisms of whiteness. Furthermore, these experiences will be examined through a critical race theory lens. The goal of this research is to untangle the complexities of whiteness with the hope of creating space centered around Black womxn scholars. Why I majored in Gender, Sexuality, and Race Studies: I majored in WMGS/GSRS because I am invested in deconstructing
