My name is Della Norton and I am the Healthy Athletes Manager with Special Olympics Washington. Healthy Athletes is a Special Olympics program that provides free health examinations in a fun, welcoming environment that removes the anxiety and trepidation people with intellectual disabilities often experience when faced with a visit to a medical professional.

Special Olympics Washington is seeking Clinical Volunteers for our Healthy Athletes presence at our Spring Games in Tacoma, WA (Pacific Lutheran University) on June 1st, 2019. We will be conducting screenings in 4 disciplines: FUNfitness, Healthy Hearing, Special Smiles and Strong Minds.

Did you know that over 60% of Special Olympics Athletes use avoidant coping strategies?

Strong Minds is an interactive learning activity focused on developing adaptive coping skills. Competition provides a natural opportunity to develop active strategies for maintaining emotional wellness under stress, such as: thinking positive thoughts, releasing stress and connecting with others. Athletes learn about and try a few different active coping strategies as they move through the stations. Before exiting, athletes identify the strategies they like best and volunteers provide them with visual reminders to use these tools in competition and in daily life.

We are looking for Social Workers, Psychiatrists, Psychologists, students and general/wellness volunteers to join us and help make this screening a success. I’ve attached a flyer with more details and the link to sign up.

Public Space, Public Life
UrbDP 498A / 598A
Summer, full-term, 3 credits
M/W 9:30-11am, Smith 305
Instructor: Peter Dunn (ptdunn@uw.edu)

Who are public spaces for? And who are they made by? What role do city squares play in a democracy? What kinds of parks do we love, and which ones make us uncomfortable? How do strangers watch each other in the city? What are the rules of behavior, and how are they enforced? Is a mall or a coffee shop a public space? Does it matter if everyone is looking at their screens? Do protests belong in the streets? Do people experiencing homelessness? How can architectural design or programmed activities change the character of public spaces?

This summer class will explore these questions in two ways. First, we will read texts and examine cases that illustrate how public spaces have been theorized, created, and studied. Second, students will do their own creative fieldwork in Seattle spaces to practice looking at, inhabiting, and intervening in public space. Undergraduates should register for URBDP 498A, graduate students should register for URBDP 598A.

Public Lecture with Kim Tallbear: 10 Free Tickets for Grad Students

Room 120, Kane Hall, Seattle campus (Google map)
Contact Molly Mandeltort to get your free ticket.

Featuring Kim Tallbear: Why is Sex a “Thing”? Making Good Relations for a Decolonial World

Settler-colonial states like the US and Canada developed based on theories of what is “natural” and the practice of faith in private property. Both concepts were and continue to be violent toward Indigenous peoples, people of African descent, women, children, the differently abled, queer people, and others. Nature and property are key to how settler society conceptualizes and manages sexuality.

Kim TallBear, also known as the Critical Polyamorist, explains how the very notion of sexuality, like the idea of nature, makes webs of relations into objects to be controlled. She draws on Indigenous ideas to offer alternative ideas for disaggregating this thing we call sex into practices of being in “good relation.” Ironically, a more sex-liberated society is a society in which we create more consensual and better “sex” without necessarily calling it sex at all.

Kim Tallbear is the Canada Research Chair in Indigenous Peoples, Technoscience & Environment and Associate Professor, Faculty of Native Studies, University of Alberta.

The UW Dream Project is hiring College & Career Readiness Assistants (CCRA) for the 2019-2020 academic year.

Full Schedule

Earth Day is an opportunity to celebrate the work being done to advance sustainability at the University of Washington and beyond, as well as reflect on the work still to be done. The theme of this year’s central Earth Day event is “Engage for the Earth.” Departments, student groups and other exhibitors will share ways we can all work to make a positive impact.
Dozens of additional Earth Week events are happening across all campuses of the UW. Many events are focused on action, equity, diversity and environmental justice, with the recognition that many communities have traditionally been excluded from the environmental movement. These events provide an opportunity for all of us to discuss these ideas and think about ways to move forward.
We hope you will join us for Earth Day and take advantage of the many opportunities to engage. To learn more about sustainability efforts and events across the University of Washington, visit green.uw.edu or email sustainability@uw.edu.
