is to say that we writers handle materials that, when handled just so, lead to a sort of alchemy. The most powerful pieces of writing, then, contain an infinite complexity—a complexity that’s tangible and undefinable at the same time. And all of this is done in the writer’s solitude, which seems its own mixture of materiality and expansiveness. Even though I believe that a strong piece of writing generates something like magic, I also believe in tough-minded examinations of the thematic and

Ethics work in the gardens at PLU and at Trinity Lutheran Church in July 2014; Photos by Kevin O’Brien I’ve only recently started to emphasize that whatever “neighbor” means, it must be connected to a neighborhood. We have to wrestle with the concrete complexity of our neighbors right here and now. I’m lucky to have lots of help in making this connection, and my classes benefit from the expertise of PLU’s Center for Community Engagement, the Sustainability Office, and the committed members of

Mission StatementWhat is studying history all about at PLU? Traditionally, the discipline of history has focused on the critical analysis of text-based evidence from the past and seeks a detailed, complex understanding of individual and collective human behaviors as they have changed over time. PLU students of history develop lifelong habits of critical thinking, inquiry-based reading of texts, effective research and technical skills, and the appreciation of complexity and diversity in human

environment and continually strive to create a positive, active learning environment for my students. Current research interests: (1) Cognitive complexity and openness to experience in relation to the liberal arts experience; (2) teaching and learning styles in relation to the challenges of teaching Millennials; and (3) changes in perceptions of cities over time.

microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and computational methods to study materials and molecules at interfaces. All students will also take part in a professional development and ethics training program, with a focus on science communication and preparation for graduate school or industrial careers. Through independent research projects and the workshop and seminar series, this site seeks to broaden the participation in STEM. Preference will be given to applications received by March 1st. We strongly encourage

join a cohort of students participating in weekly seminars, workshops, and an introduction to research resources and skills. The UWB Physics REU program for the summer of 2021 may be a hybrid of online and on-campus activities, with the option to participate fully online. Research areas: Physics Education Research Computational Physics and Astrophysics Gravitational Wave Astronomy Experimental Condensed Matter Physics Eligibility You must be an undergraduate student in any academic year (freshman

really attractive to prospective employers is not only their strong computing skills but also their broad Liberal Arts education that makes them good problem solvers and good communicators.” PLU’s computer science major prepares students to work in the technology industry as professional software developers, to continue their studies in graduate school, or to apply their computational skills to another field. With a degree in computer science, students might end up writing code for software
