School of Education, ATLAS Program Director
"It's all connected. I work in adult education. When the adults in families have higher literacy, language, math, and employability skills, they can better provide for themselves, their children and elders. Together, they make wiser decisions and enjoy more stability, all of which leads to healthier communities. It all matters."
Senior Lecturer of Theatre Arts
Professor Kenmotsu brings to her classes and the Hamline Dance Ensemble over 25 years of performance experience and training in many different somatic modalities including various dance techniques (modern, jazz, ballet), Laban Movement Analysis, contact improvisation, circus arts, yoga, feldenkrais, Global Somatics, pilates and physical theater.
Professor of Legal Studies
Jeanne Kosieradzki has been teaching at Hamline since 1992. She has taught in the areas of litigation and trial practice, tort law, legal ethics, no-fault law, and law in the lives of women.
Dept. Chair, Senior Lecturer of Modern Languages and Literature
“Learning a language is essentially about building relationships. We are not learning Chinese in a vacuum, but in a wider global context where culture, history, values and politics all shape the ways in which we interact with one other. My aim is to support students, as they become confident speakers of Chinese who also possess a high degree of cultural competence.”
Associate Professor of Creative Writing
"My looking ripens things"
-Rainer Maria Rilke
Professor of Physics
“Through it all, we learn quickly that learning is an invaluable, challenging, rewarding, and even enjoyable experience that continues over one's lifetime."
