Disability Law (Law H530) at the UW law school

winter quarter

M/W from 10:30-12:20

Any interested graduate-level social work students can take the course.  We study the IDEA, the ADA, housing, deinstitutionalization, guardianship, and other topics that may be of interest to students.

I’m an attorney who is working with a client in need of some help.  I thought this particular project might be a good match for a social work student who is looking to get more experience in working with families and children.

We are working on reuniting two young children (4 and 8 years old) with their father, who they have not seen in approximately 3 years.  The father lives in South America and is flying up to spend a week in Seattle with his children.  The father and the mother have agreed that the visits should be supervised while the children become reacquainted with their father.  We are looking for someone who can supervise the visits and be an impartial observer and/or facilitator.  Spanish language skills are a plus but not required.

Specifically, we are looking for someone who could be available on any of the following days and times:

Tuesday, December 29^th – Friday, January 1^st from approximately 10am-3pm daily.

There is opportunity for this to be paid, and we’d be happy to negotiate a rate.

Students for a National Health Plan is an organization focusing on broadening the conversation around healthcare policy and access. We are currently looking for new members and have officer roles available for anyone looking to get more involved in the movement and gain leadership experience. Joining SNaHP is an excellent way to network with healthcare professionals and legislators active in the healthcare reform movement. Anyone looking to pursue a career in medicine will find a stunning lack of information of healthcare policy in the curricula. Our organization aims to be a resource for anyone looking to gain information and get involved.

Native American Nations: Policy and Governance (PB AF 599D)

Instructor Laura Evans, Associate Professor, Evans School
Quarter Winter 2016
Meets Tuesdays, 9:30 am – 12:20 pm
Credits 4

There are over 550 American Indian tribal governments in the United States, including 29 federally-recognized tribes in Washington. American Indian tribal governments are long-standing, legally-recognized sovereign powers with land bases that they govern. They shape the lives of some of the nation’s most vulnerable citizens and affect the interests of nearby local and state governments. This class will review how tribal governments work and how they interact with other governments in the United States. It will consider their legal status as self-governing sovereigns and the realpolitik of on-the-ground power.

If you care how environmental protection, social policy, and economic development play out in any of the 34 states with federally-recognized tribes, you should be paying attention to what American Indian tribal governments are doing. If you think you understand public management program design, and program implementation in the US, this class has surprises in store for you.

The successes of some tribal casinos have lured many outside observers into thinking that gambling revenue alone can somehow mend the devastation of culture, community, natural resources, and sacred spaces. The reality is quite different. This course will sort out the stereotypes from the truths of America’s Native Nations today.

Graduate students from all UW units are welcome. Graduate students from other departments should be able to register beginning on 11/23 at 6am by using SLN: 18435.

Graduate students in the Environmental Management Certificate program from across the University collaborate to tackle real-world problems with profound policy, scientific and business ramifications. Students engage in environmental challenges—including energy, climate change, food systems, depletion of natural resources and pollution—and learn to organize collaborative teams to complete a client-based project. Addressing these challenges requires an understanding of diverse disciplines.

The program spans traditional academic boundaries, allowing students to integrate broad perspectives, knowledge, skills and interconnections. Our goal is for students to achieve a coherent view of environmental issues through an interdisciplinary focus on the complex relationships among science, management and policy. Applications are accepted twice each year, usually the first Monday in February and first Monday in May.

The Environmental Management Graduate Certificate program offers students access to the University of Washington’s world-class faculty and resources across multiple colleges and schools, including the Evans School of Public Affairs, Foster School of Business, the College of Engineering, and the College of the Environment.

The EM Certificate program offers students:

• A real-world consulting experience
• A solution-based approach to environmental issues
• Interdisciplinary problem-solving practice
• Skills development in project management, problem solving, communications, and team-building
• Opportunities to develop relationships across an network of graduate students, UW faculty, and potential employers
