7:00 p.m.,团队
Our history colloquium this quarter will be presented by one of our Walla Walla University history major graduates, 汉娜Cutting-Jones, who teaches in the Honors College at the University of Oregon. Dr. Cutting-Jones obtained her Ph.D. at the University of Auckland, where she studied the history of food in the South Pacific, particularly the impact made by Western foods introduced by missionaries. Continuing her research on the history of food, Dr. Cutting-Jones received a postdoctoral research fellowship from the 图书馆 of Congress for her current topic, which she will describe to us in her colloquium lecture, 题为, "Treasure Hunting in the Archives."
The title of her 图书馆 of Congress Fellowship project for spring 2021 is “Protein Wars: The Fight Over Our Favorite Nutrient,” and her project description follows:
"In this project I will explore the history of protein as the most compelling and controversial food component of the modern age, beginning in the mid-nineteenth century when scientists first identified protein as an important nutrient. Novel protein-rich products such as Justus von Liebig's Extract of Beef and John Harvey Kellogg's plant-based Nuttose and Protose soon entered the marketplace. These processed foods illustrated trends in the emerging field of nutritional 科学 and the opposing ideologies over what foods were healthiest. Some posited that animal products provided the sole source of “complete protein" - a view seen in doctor's reports and popular products such as beef broth and powdered milk, while others proposed that plant-based proteins were sufficient and even optimal for the health of both the body and the environment. Two world wars refocused and retrenched efforts to provide American soldiers with diets rich in protein and diverted meat to theaters of war. I will examine the marketing and 科学 of “protein-rich” products from the mid-nineteenth to the late twentieth century and trace the evolving, 矛盾的, and persistent narratives surrounding protein as an essential nutrient.”

Distinguished 教师 Lecture by 黛比Muthersbaugh. "Seeing is Knowing: Exploring the Impact of Visual Representations in Teaching and Learning"
Pictures and drawings have been used in teaching practices over time. Most educators use visual cues in teaching to support what we think or know. Using visual representations provides more meaningful learning experiences and confidence in their abilities. But how can we better understand the value of visual aspects for learning? 黛比Muthersbaugh, dean of the WWU School of Education and Psychology, has researched the subject and analyzed the findings of a series of studies. In the annual WWU Distinguished 教师 Lecture she will share some of her findings, including answers to such questions as: What are the connections between art, 科学, 数学, 还有其他科目? How can being intentional when choosing and using images for teaching learning assist students in creating a more positive attitude toward their own learning? How do these integrative practices lead to a more inclusive classroom and campus?
