Conveying the drama and limitless scope of the human condition through live acting or dance performance is a form of creative expression dating to ancient Greece.
The Saint Mary's theatre program awards special audition-based scholarships to incoming students. Students majoring in theatre are also encouraged and expected to participate in the theatre semester abroad in London. There are multiple opportunities to participate in performances on the Winona Campus every year for both concentrations and theatre students may also participate in a production staged in London during a semester taught there each fall.
Saint Mary's also hosts the Minnesota Conservatory of the Arts , a community arts organization serving Winona and surrounding communities. Any student is welcome to volunteer and connect with the community.

Stress reduction. Globalization has been talked about both as an irresistible historical force, tending toward the creation of an increasingly interconnected, or, as is sometimes claimed, an increasingly homogeneous world, and as a set of processes, the outcome of which remains open-ended and uncertain, as likely to produce new kinds of differences as universal sameness.
Culture meanwhile has been variously defined as that which distinguishes humans from other species and which all humans therefore share and as that which divides communities of humans from one another on the basis of different beliefs, customs, values etc.
This course reflects on some of the possible meanings of both "Globalization" and "Culture" and asks what we can learn by considering them in relation to one another. How do the phenomena associated with globalization, such as increasing flows of people, capital, goods and information across increasing distances challenge our understandings of culture, including the idea that the world is composed of so many discrete and bounded "cultures"?
At the same time, does culture and its associated expressive forms, including narrative fiction, poetry and film, furnish us with new possibilities for thinking about globalization? Does global interconnection produce a single, unified world, or multiple worlds? Are the movements of people, goods, ideas and information across distances associated with new developments caused by contemporary globalization, or have they been going on for centuries or even millennia? Might contemporary debates about climate change and environmental crisis compel us to consider these phenomena in new ways?
The course addresses these questions as they have been discussed by scholars from a variety of disciplines and as they have been imagined by artists, poets, novelists and filmmakers. In doing so, it considers whether the distinctiveness of present day globalization is to be sought in part in the new forms of imagining and creative expression to which it has given rise.

Kinesiology is a 4 credit introduction to human anatomy with two min lectures and one min lab per week. The lecture series is organized around an organ systems approach and currently follows the text of Marieb et al. The lectures are divided into 3 major sections: musculoskeletal, cardiopulmonary and renal, and neuro-endocrine and digestive.
Within each major section, anatomic description proceeds from the microscopic, or cellular level, to the key features of tissues that aggregate into organ anatomy bottom up. The kinetic anatomy perspective describes the dynamic and functional features of organ systems based on their component organ anatomy and interactions top-down.
The context for course material covered will reflect a kinesiology focus on human movement in exercise and sports. This will better prepare students for graduate school courses in the health sciences, movement sciences, and Athletic Training.
Students will be encouraged to learn their own anatomy as a health and preventive medicine skill. Laboratory activities include: 1. Working with individual bones, intact skeletons, and models of limbs and organs 2. Following interactive virtual dissection using Pearson? Using Primal Picture software animations, and skeletal movement video clips to analyze and describe muscle actions in common sports movements and injuries. The Kinetic Anatomy KA lab involves direct examination and identification of bones, identification of key muscle origins and insertions, and the evaluation of skeletal movement.
A written report from this project will also be required to demonstrate the accurate use of terminology and effective communication of ideas. MUS - Topics in Music. Each offering focuses on a single topic. Topics specified in Class Schedule. PA - Nonprofit Management and Governance. Theories, concepts, real-world examples. On This Page:.
