  • the hell is history? It is a controversial stand, but I will maintain that, as discipline, there is no such thing. In fact, all the disciplinary divisions between the humanities are more imaginary than real. They began earlier last century and their mission to divide knowledge has continued to thrive… but that’s another story. I was saying, History is subjective, it’s all about perspective. It’s about power dynamics. What we call the “official history”, what is it? Who wrote it? For what purposes

  • . This research focuses on Piscidin-1, and in previous studies, Piscidin-1 was sequenced, found to be 22 residues long and histidine-rich. In this research the peptide dynamics were investigated through study of the effects of temperature and cholesterol, the topology of the membrane/peptide complex was studied through depth-of-insertion analysis using Hydrogen-Deuterium exchange ssNMR methods and preparation for the elucidation of the membrane/peptide complex structure by 31P-15N distance

  • including the music, movement, and sequence of events. In the end, the process was fast paced, but very satisfying. The dancers did a wonderful job picking up the movement and making it their own right away.” In this piece the audience can expect a variety of dynamics and tempos in the movement, some being very slow and others full and fluid. The audience can also expect a musical score that includes simplistic nature sounds, text from This American Life, as well as melodic music from Garth Stevenson

  • the signal processing challenge. Case agreed. This was the third year Case has taken a part in the competition. Each year, students are presented with a different problem that they don’t know until the start of the competition. “The process is pretty similar, obviously the problems are different,” he said. “What changes the most is the work dynamics. It’s just as much education as it is community building. It’s really fun.” “I think the experience in itself is helpful in a team setting,” Case said

  • mountains. She earned an MS in resource conservation and a PhD in organismic biology and ecology from The University of Montana in Missoula, specializing in the dynamics of positive interactions among animal and plant life. With a background in biology, a devotion to applied natural history, and a passion for sharing the wonders of nature with others, Dayna has worked in the field of biomimicry with business partner Janine Benyus since 1998 as a business catalyst, educator, researcher, and design

  • ability to act in entrepreneurial ways. Innovation Studies is concerned with how creative thinking actually happens–either in practical workplace settings or deep within the realms of cognitive psychology or neurobiology. The minor is also concerned with consumer behavior and the modern dynamics of capitalism, which connects marketing and business planning to the perception, emotion, and personality skills that Psychology students develop. Whether Psychology students go directly into a psychological

  • Katrina Hay, PhDDivision of Natural Sciences, Department of PhysicsLightboard for Instructional Videos Dr. Katrina Hay (PLU Photo/Katie Martell) Katrina is an associate professor in the physics department, where she enjoys teaching a range of courses. Her research interests include fluid dynamics, observational astronomy and physics education research. At PLU, she has mentored undergraduate interns in fluid physics phenomenology and she is looking forward to working with students on

  • William Carlos Williams pointed out, a poem is a machine made out of words. In the classroom, then, the poem can be discussed the way machines are discussed, with reference to the technical features that make the machine what it is. To speak of poems in this way, however, requires a scholar’s commitment to studying the genre’s history, its masters, as well as its formal and thematic dynamics. In my poetry-writing courses, it turns out that reading and studying poetry end up taking more time than the

  • colleague described Emily’s teaching as transcending conventional boundaries. They wrote that “her courses destabilize fixed notions of identity and prompt students to critically examine history and culture. The transformative impact of her teaching is palpable, as students emerge empowered and equipped with a critical perspective that challenges oppressive dynamics and amplifies marginalized voices.” Emily’s dedication to fostering a supportive community is evident in the words of her students.
