Dear colleagues,

UAA’s own Bryan Nakata participated in an Emma Bowen Foundation internship last summer, and shared this most recent announcement from the Foundation encouraging students to apply for their upcoming internship cycle. The Emma Bowen Foundation is a nonprofit organization that seeks to build a more diverse media and tech industry by recruiting promising students of color and placing them in multi-year paid internships at some of the nation’s leading companies.

The Foundation believes “that diversity is important in all areas of the media industry and offer Fellowships that prepare students for careers in the Business of Media, Content of Media, and Innovation of Media. Whether you’re interested in being a producer, a journalist, a web developer, an engineer, a business executive, a PR agent, or in any other career in the media or tech industry, the Emma Bowen Fellowship is available to help you get your start.”

Seattle is considered a high priority area for the Foundation, so they’re encouraging interested students to apply by Oct. 23 for early consideration by partner companies in our area!

Dear Intro Bio Students,

Are you enrolling in BIOL 180 this Autumn and interested in an additional laboratory research experience designed to accompany BIOL 180?  We invite you to join BIOL 482 during Autumn ’17, in which a team of 24 students will collaborate to explore antibiotic resistance -- an area of science that highlights connections amongst evolutionary biology, molecular biology, and public health.  Our experiments will address questions that have not yet been fully investigated by professional scientists, and our work may uncover results that are relevant for clinical treatment of bacterial infections.

Although the Time Schedule course description sounds like an upper-level research experience, fear not:  BIOL 482 is designed specifically for Introductory Biology students, and we especially encourage students who do not have prior research experience to participate in this opportunity.

“The idea of research used to be overwhelming, but your class made me feel involved!

I now look forward to being a part of it.”

“I was astonished the sterile techniques used in [a professional] lab … are exactly the same as what we have been practicing throughout the quarter.

We are well prepared to become scientists.”

“[The BIOL 482 CURE] gave me the confidence to go out and find research opportunities.”

--BIOL 482 Students

BIOL 482 Course Info for Autumn '17, in brief:

First meeting: Tuesday, October 3, 2017.

Laboratory: Tuesdays, 10:30am-12:20pm.

Additional 20-30 min drop-in sessions, to be arranged.

Credits: 2

Prerequisite / Co-requisite: Must be concurrently enrolled in BIOL 180 (lecture and laboratory) for Autumn '17.

To apply for an add code to enroll in BIOL 482, please complete a brief questionnaire at:

·         Students with specific questions about  the elective classes that satisfy the minor can email iask@uw.edu

# data[].attributes.body
Dear Advisers,

Happy August! Please remind your interested students and alumni that there is still time to apply for several fully funded year-long international experiences with deadlines looming in September! Rising seniors, new or current graduate and professional students, and alumni may be eligible to apply:

Luce Scholars Program - Apply by Sept. 6, 2017

This is a great opportunity for those with little or no prior experience in, or education about, Asian countries to add this valuable perspective to their future career interests! The Luce Scholars Program (http://www.hluce.org/lsprogram.aspx) is open to students and alumni under 30 as of July 1, 2018 in all fields of study (except Asian Studies – sorry!). It is unique among American-Asian exchanges in that it is intended for young leaders who have had limited experience of Asia and who might not otherwise have an opportunity in the normal course of their careers to come to know Asia. The program provides living stipends, language training and individualized professional placement in Asia for fifteen to eighteen young U.S. citizens each year. Learn more and apply for UW nomination at http://expd.uw.edu/expo/scholarships/luce.

Fulbright US Student Program - Apply by Sept. 6, 2017

Open to students and alumni in all fields (and no age limit!). The Fulbright U.S. Student Program provides grants for individually designed graduate-level study, independent research projects or English Teaching Assistant Programs in over 140 countries. Learn more about the program at https://us.fulbrightonline.org, and about our campus application and interview process at http://expd.uw.edu/expo/scholarships/fulbright.

Schwarzman Scholars Program - current UW undergrads should seek institutional endorsement by Aug. 15, national deadline Sept. 28, 2017

Launched in 2016, the Schwarzman Scholars Program aims to give the world’s best and brightest students the opportunity to develop their leadership skills through a one-year Master’s Degree at Tsinghua University in Beijing. Full funding is provided for students to pursue degrees in one of three disciplines:  Public Policy, Economics and Business, and International Studies. Candidates must be at least 18 but not yet 29 years of age as of August 1, 2018. Learn more at http://schwarzmanscholars.org/program/. Information on UW endorsement for current undergrads is at http://expd.uw.edu/expo/scholarships/SchwarzSchol.

DAAD – German Academic Exchange Service Scholarships– Apply for UW priority consideration by October 17; final campus deadline November 1

Highly qualified final year undergraduate students or those who have received an undergraduate degree in any discipline may apply for the DAAD Study Scholarship for a full Master's degree program at a German university or for study at a German university as part of a postgraduate or Master's degree program completed in the home country. Research Grants for 1-6 month or 7-10 month projects in Germany are awarded to highly qualified candidates from rising seniors through those who have already completed a Ph.D. (and all stages in between), including those wishing to earn a doctoral degree in Germany. Many study programs and research opportunities funded by DAAD do not require proficiency in the German language, there are no age limits, and US citizenship is not required. Learn more athttps://www.daad.org/en/study-research-in-germany/.

Connect with UW scholarship advisers at all three campuses for questions and/or application support for any of these programs (and more)!

# data[].attributes.body
You read about environmental health problems every day:  diseases spread through unsafe drinking water, cancer-causing toxins, poor air quality leading to respiratory disease, deadly foodborne illness outbreaks.  Have you ever thought about being part of the solution to these problems?  In environmental health science, you can, by studying the link between the environment and human health.

The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), one of the largest research agencies dedicated to improving human health, has a funded opportunity for underrepresented students at UW to conduct environmental health science-related research alongside faculty in the School of Public Health. This program, Supporting Undergraduate Research Experiences in Environmental Health (SURE-EH) is now accepting applications from underrepresented UW students.

SURE-EH provides a meaningful opportunity to work with experienced faculty on a research project addressing the relationship between environmental exposures and human health. Work alongside faculty as a paid student researcher for up to 2 years, full-time during summer and part-time during the academic year.

Examples of possible projects include:

·       Developing resources for local communities at high risk of air pollution exposure

·       Developing new methods to detect polio-virus, which is reemerging in Africa

·       Analyzing genetic and environmental factors that may influence health outcomes

Read about current and past projects on the website: http://deohs.washington.edu/current-sure-eh-trainees

SURE-EH will provide academic opportunities to complement the research experience, including course recommendations, seminars, workshops, and research symposia. These educational opportunities will enhance your breadth and depth of the SURE-EH’s environmental health science training, and help you become a leader in the field of environmental health sciences.

The 2017 application period is now open and participants will be selected on a rolling basis until all positions are filled. Please note: Students who submit their application by Friday, May 5th, 2017 at 5:00pm (the Priority Application deadline) will be considered first.

Come hear why disrupting the status quo is imperative to our civilization’s survival and why civil disobedience is the most powerful force available to citizens now that all legal, incremental and reasonable efforts at averting climate catastrophe have been exhausted.

5 climate organizers turned emergency shut-off valves on all 5 pipelines that carry tar sands oil into the United States. This was an unprecedented act of direct action that sh...ut down 15% of US crude oil imports for nearly a day, October 11th, 2016.

Now the “Valve-turners” face Felony charges in four states and sentences up to 51 years in prison. Over the coming months they will confront the legal system with the questions of fairness, risk, and equity as they argue the necessity of their action in courts across four states.

Through creative conflict we can force the public to wake, think, and challenge corrupt authority. Every life on earth depends on our willingness to do the right thing - Right Now

The seminar focuses on maximizing your learning potential and the  Southeast Asian identity. Who are Southeast Asians, and what is the lived experiences of Southeast Asian Americans.  We will have guest speakers, examine the histories of Southeast Asian populations, work on networking and leadership skills, and discuss tips for self-care.  These are just some of the things that we will focus on, however the dialogues in the class will also provide for a very rich and engaging environment for students.

If you or anyone you know would like to take the seminar, we're happy to add you to the course.  It is a 1 CR/NC (297, General Studies, SLN 14630) course and it meets during Spring Quarter 2017 on Tuesdays from 2:30 – 3:50 in MEB (Mechanical Engineer Building) 103.   Send an email to: thacht2@uw.edu for an add code!

CHID 250B EXPLORING HUMAN AND NONHUMAN ANIMAL BODIES IN LITERATURE AND FILM – VLPA CREDIT

Interrogate the role of bodies (human & nonhuman) in society by examining literary and filmic works in which they feature prominently. Some questions we will investigate are: Whose bodies are subjugated and whose are elevated? Why do we prefer certain bodies to others and what kinds of choices do we make based on those preferences? Where do our bodies end and where do others begin? Who exerts power over human and nonhuman bodies and to what end?

CHID 250C THEORY SCHMEORY

This course will explore how to productively fail at translating across disciplines. We will explore creating new knowledges out of cross-disciplinary conversations to grasp how different theories have created ways of knowing out of interdisciplinary practices.

CHID 480A QUEERING DISABILITY STUDIES

This course aims to think through what it means to queer an interdisciplinary field of study, specifically disability studies. Disability is intricately bound to and co-created alongside sex, gender, and sexuality as a socially constructed norm.

CHID 480B THE LYRIC ESSAY – A CRITICAL WORKSHOP – WRITING CREDIT

This is a course in which we will read, critique and write lyric essays. The lyric essay is a hybrid form of writing that does not respect the boundaries of genre. It mixes facts with fancy, or put another way, fact with fiction. Thus, it is sometimes called creative non-fiction.

CHID 480G GEORGIAN CINEMA: FILMS OF RESISTANCE AND DESIRE – VLPA CREDIT

In this course, we will explore films from the Republic of Georgia, located on the Eastern shore of the Black Sea. Films will include early experimental works, classics from the soviet era, and those of the new generation of young, post-soviet directors.

And here are a couple 2-credit focus groups facilitated by CHID students:

CHID 496E Present and Engaged: Staying Informed in a Time of Alternative Facts

This group is entirely focused on reading, watching, and engaging with the content of current journalism and doing comparative analysis of the reports made between news sources. Enrollment in this focus group will entail reading the New York Times daily as well as engaging with readings in the course material and watching independent news reported by Democracy Now!. Discussion will focus heavily around current events, both in the United States and internationally. We will explore topics around free speech, doxxing, fake news, and access to information, particularly how these topics intersect with civic engagement, higher education, and political discourse. We will also engage in with a variety of politically slanted sources to track reporting discrepancies. Participants will be encouraged to bring in their own resources.

CHID 496C Seattle: Exploring the Layered City

Have you ever wanted to truly get to know a city? This endeavor will examine, in-depth, the diverse layers that make up Seattle, and the ways in which they overlap. More specifically, the discussion will cover the historical foundations of the city - in musical, philosophical, political, and social contexts - as well as the most recent transformations in industry (i.e. Amazon, Paul Allen's $$, and gentrification), and an analysis of influential time periods, spaces, and people - such as Kurt Cobain in the 1990s, the WTO protests, Boeing, Bill Gates, and the Denny Regrade. Seattle - Portal to the Pacific.

CHID 496D The History of the New Age

'New Age' practices, a Westernized focus on spirituality over religion, has become exceedingly popular in modern times. However, these practices are anything but new. In this class, we will explore the history and social context of 'new age' practices including astrology, tarot cards, palm reading, mythology, oracles and seers, alchemy, and mediumship - as well as explore their revival in Western culture. In addition to weekly readings and discussion, each student will be able to choose a topic of their own to present on as a final project at the end of the quarter.

Still Seats Available in Three Fabulous GWSS Courses

# data[].attributes.body
Hello Everyone,

I hope that your quarter is wrapping up well and that spring break allows you a bit of a break before the intensity of spring.  I just wanted to get a quick note out about some fantastic GWSS courses that might be of interest to your students.  Attached are a few flyers, but here also are some brief descriptions:

GWSS/ANTH/JSIS A 328, Gender and Sexuality in China: MW 2:30-4:20, CMU 120, Professor Sasha Welland,

SLN 21514

This course provides a rich exploration of gender and sexuality as key aspects of China’s process of modernization, from the late Qing dynasty through the building of the Republic, Communist revolution, and post-Mao economic reform. It examines, through historical, anthropological, and cultural studies scholarship, the centrality of these social constructs in terms of family, state, labor, body, and ethnicity. Offered simultaneously at the undergraduate and graduate levels, with differentiated assignments.

GWSS 390 Intermediate Topics, Critical Conversations in Feminism and Technology: TTh 2:30-4:20, LOW 201, Ivette Bayo Urban

SLN 14833

The course is built around 5 interconnected concepts with relation to technology: Privacy, Security, Self-representation, Identities, and Archives. We will consider the implications, possibilities, and limitations of digital tools as platforms. Through readings, self-reflections, and critical conversations students will review the history and practice surrounding our embodied

relationships with technology in theory and practice. Students will add to a growing archive of materials relating to feminist technologies and will collaborate on a final project that fills a need. This can be informative, action oriented or an expressive project.

GWSS 490 C/JSIS 485 D Special Topics in Women Studies, Gender and Sexuality in India and Turkey: MW 1:30-3:20, BLD 286, Akanksha Misra,

SLN 21548

This course looks at the relationship between gender and sexuality and the (trans)national. Whilst acknowledging the

centrality of gender and sexuality to the experiences of nationalism, citizenship formation, and global capitalist economies,

it also looks at how gender and sexuality are constructed by nation state formation, histories, and transnational

connectivities. The comparative aspect of the course provides the framework for not only looking at how transnational

histories, ideas and economies shape the sexual citizen, but also how the concept of the transnational itself rests upon

colonial/imperial legacies that are fundamentally sexual. Focusing on these two countries of the global ‘South’ urges us to

reconceptualize the transnational both as an actual geographical space of uneven capitalist development but also as an

imaginary space of desired sexual and modern citizenry. By looking at histories, contemporary movements, discourses of

development/modernity, and the centrality of oppressed voices to the sustenance of mainstream religious and hegemonic

notions of womanhood and sexuality, this course will try to draw connections between the past and the present, in an

attempt to understand the rise of the right around the globe, including India and Turkey. Primary source materials in Hindi

and Turkish will be provided for those interested, although no prior understanding of Indian and Turkish contexts,

feminisms, and social movements is necessary.

Take Care of You,

ESRM 320, Marketing and Management From a Sustainability Perspective

Gives 5 credits and NW and I&S

Has no prerequisites

SLN 14180, course website it at https://canvas.uw.edu/courses/1139106/assignments/syllabus

This is an online course (except for two mandatory in-person exam on 5.4 and 6.1, 4:30-6:50 pm, in 223 Anderson Hall)

Overview.

In ESRM 320, we explore two of the four primary business dimensions: marketing and human resource management (*companion course ESRM 321 explores finance and accounting). Marketing refers to promoting, pricing, and distributing new and existing products and services that are aimed at satisfying consumers’ wants, needs, and objectives. Human resource management refers to developing, managing, and motivating human capital and resources.

Sustainability refers to integrating environmental, social, and financial elements in order to meet the needs of people today without compromising Earth’s capacity to provide for future generations. Integrating these three is called the triple bottom line. In business, the bottom line refers to net income or profits because it is the last (i.e., bottom) line in a company's income statement; profits are essential because a business is unsustainable without them. Sustaining the planet over the long term depends not on one but all three bottom lines. We will explore the meaning and importance of sustainable business practices that respect and adhere to best environmental science methods and ethical social responsibility standards. The context for this exploration will be assessing data in corporate sustainability reports. Companies that trade on U.S. stock exchanges are required by law to report financial performance, but no laws exist for reporting social responsibility and environmental performance. However, in response to stakeholders many corporations voluntarily issue annual sustainability reports that provide information on the company’s environmental and social responsibility practices and performance.

Course Goals. ESRM 320 has two goals, which are to provide a context for 1) learning business concepts (through watching the recorded business lectures and reading the Nickels textbook) AND 2) hands on experience assessing corporate sustainability performance (through assessing GRI indicators using sustainability report information). The business learning objectives below in bold are achieved through listening to the recorded business lectures and reading the Nickels textbook (both of which are covered on the exams that comprise about 55% of the course grade) while the sustainability learning objectives underlined below are achieved through assessing GRI indicators using sustainability report information and the associated SPA quizzes and SPI paper (45% of the course grade). Exams do not cover SPA, and the SPA quizzes do not cover business concepts. Note that SPA and SPI are described in detail throughout this syllabus.

Learning Objectives (at the end of this course, students should be able to do the following):

Explain marketing, human resources, corporate social responsibility, and sustainability concepts

Summarize how a market orientation and commitment to sustainability can enhance customer and employee satisfaction

Describe how consumer markets are segmented, targeted, and products positioned to satisfy individual, government, and business consumers’ wants and needs

Compare techniques for creating value-added products, services, and ideas; valuing environmental and social externalities and managing traditional pricing; developing distribution strategies and “greening” the supply chain; and creating and implementing promotion campaigns

Define managerial and leadership styles and theories of motivation, persuasion, and influence

Summarize the human resource process of recruiting, interviewing, hiring, training, motivating, and evaluating employees

Describe Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) framework for sustainability reporting

Assess GRI human rights, labor practices, product responsibility, and society indicators to measure actual sustainability performance

Analyze real world sustainability performance using data in corporate sustainability reports

Hello Advisers!  Please share with your students a few of our classes that they might want to explore if they are considering teaching as a career option.

First of all, consider taking EDC&I 351, Teaching as a Profession (5)!  This class helps students assess the profession of teaching and explore what becoming a teacher means. They will assess the organizational structure of teaching as a career and profession, examine social attitudes about education and the work of teachers, and think about teaching as social justice work.

The college of education also is offering two classes to all juniors and seniors in any major - flyers are attached -

EDC&I 460 Early Literacy Instruction (3)
The purpose of this course is to provide students with a breadth of knowledge and practical teaching methods in areas related to emergent reading.  This course focuses on literacy development from birth to kindergarten.  While the primary focus of the course is on literacy instruction for typically-developing children, the knowledge and skills transfer readily to literacy instruction for children with atypical development and student are encouraged to consider such linkages.

EDC&I 495 Culturally Responsive Science Teaching (3)

Culturally responsive teaching is based on the idea that culture is central to student learning.  Several cultures intersect with the science classroom, such as the students' and teacher's multiple cultures, the culture of science and the culture of school.  This course is relevant for undergraduate and masters students interested in science education and will involve visits to classrooms.

Are you a student who wants to grow your own awareness and understanding of refugee issues globally and locally?  Do you want to work on a project to raise awareness and understanding with others who may be less politically aware?

Soc Wf 495 includes a series of guest speakers who will discuss different topics focused on refugees from the global context, to interviewing asylum seekers, and local resettlement services and issues.   We will also partner with two grassroots agencies and support three of their initiatives.  Students therefore will choose an assignment option that fits with their schedule while also working together for a larger group project.   A side benefit of the course and group project may be yummy food reflective of different cultures.

Canoe Culture, Traditional Foods, and the Montlake Cut: Engaging with UW's Campus Ecology

AIS 275 B

Cynthia Updegrave

I&S - NW available by emailing elissaw@uw.edu

5 credits

TuTh 3:30 - 5:20

These waterways have been home to Coast Salish people since time immemorial. Settlers engineered the watershed-altering Montlake Cut and celebrated the opening of the Ship Canal in 1917. In carving out and cementing this passage, sacred places were blasted through with dynamite, and others filled in with debris. Rivers, forests, wetlands, and salmon runs were lost, villages destroyed, and Native people displaced and excluded. How do we engage with the significance this land has held since time immemorial?

The many types of cultural activities taking place at wǝɫǝbʔaltxʷ provide an opportunity to re-imagine the campus, and frame ecocultural restoration and wealth in terms of relationships. Students will engage in learning experiences with Native communities, elders, activists, and Canoe Families. Coast Salish art, language,and stories provide a context for collaborating with campus resources including the UW Farm and the student-led Society for Ecological Restoration. Students will participate in the hosting of “”The Living Breath of wǝɫǝbʔaltxʷ: Indigenous Foods and Ecological Knowledge Symposium”, and envision actions that decolonize the environs of the campus.

Help get the word out to students interested in Engineering – see attached fliers and message from Lauren and Malika in COE.

Malika and Lauren are teaching next quarter, ENGR 101 “Engineering Exploration” (1 cr). Any freshman or sophomore interested in exploring the various engineering pathways is encouraged to take the class.  We offer two big sections of ENGR 101 in the fall and a smaller section in the spring- the version of the seminar that we offered this past fall ended up being a much heavier work load than usual for a 1 credit course, so we have cut it back for this spring offering (in case students heard about the workload from their friends in the fall and are hesitant to take the class now because of that).

Let us know if you have any questions.

Thank you very much!
