“Accepting the Challenge for Diversity, Cultural Awareness and Inclusion”

September 6th, 9-4:30pm

Dr. Stephen Wilson and Dr. Marian Harris

Organized by NASW-WA

 

Workshop description:

“Social workers provide treatment to clients who are different in culture, race, ethnicity, national origin, color, sex, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, political belief, religion, and mental or physical challenges. As professionals with authority and power, social workers have enormous influence on client’s choices and values. Therefore, it is the professional responsibility of social workers to have the knowledge and skill to identify and include any facet of diversity in assessment and treatment of each client. This interactive session will provide a framework to discuss and understand the significance of diversity, cultural awareness, and inclusion in social work practice. Participants will have an opportunity via a systemic approach to understanding racial inequity as a precursor to break down the different types of diversity elements, inherent and acquired and to understand why it is contrary to the NASW Code of Ethics to engage in social work practice without having cultural awareness. There is an opportunity for participants to broaden their knowledge base and enhance practice skills in managing their biases and monitor how they show up in practice and interaction with clients as well as colleagues. A systemic approach is provided as a frame for discussing and supporting exploration, analysis and gathering wisdom in ways that are communal and collaborative. The presenters will utilize examples from their own research and clinical practice, a video, and experiential activities to encourage dialogue throughout the session. Participants will be strongly encouraged to share examples from their clinical practice. A framework will be provided for discussion about diversity, cultural awareness, cultural sensitivity, and inclusion for social work practice with clients who are oppressed and struggling to survive in today’s hostile environment/climate.”

CITIES on SCREEN: Film, Design, and the Built Environment “Black and White”

Fall 2019 College of the Built Environment

1-credit film seminar, 6 sessions, alternate Fridays 3:30-5:50 PM beginning September 27, Gould 322

BE 498 F (SLN 10991) | BE 598 F (SLN 10997) – Undergrads should sign up for 498, Grad students should take 598

Film offers insights into how we represent, document and navigate our built environments. At the same time, the virtual space of cinema influences our thinking,

and by extension, our experience and design of both complex ideas and real places. Fall quarter we explore the theme of “Black and White,” which denotes a film process and an aesthetic, as well as connoting confident assertions of certainty and more fraught attributions of difference. “Black and White” conjures binaries and blurring, of truth and deception, documentary and drama, identity and indignity, good and evil, and conformity and resistance; and imparts meaning and metaphor in the cinematic city around issues of race, gender and the so-called Other.

This film seminar features discussion and full-length viewing of selected films and is open to undergraduates and graduates in all majors and departments.

To all students interested in health equity and social justice:

• Do you see things in the communities you work with and/or are a part of that you wish were different?
• Do you want to help change the systems that produce health disparities?
• Are you ready to take action?

Join experienced Sound Alliance community organizers and students from across the Health Sciences this fall in UCONJ 624. We will develop your skills in advocacy and community organizing for health equity. Participate in different campaigns that work upstream to address the social determinants of health.

• Learn the fundamentals of advocacy, organizing, and their ability to impact health.

• Two year supplemental program to earn the AHEC Scholars certificate
• Students need to do 40 hours of interprofessional didactics (we provide that with an evening class once a year, six sessions). Each class can be taken for 1 credit or no cost/no credit
• 40 hours of interprofessional community or clinical training at a site that they volunteer at OR through their primary program (as long as the site is UNDESERVED AND/OR RURAL).
• What do we mean by rural or underserved? The program office determines which sites count. We use the tool “Am I rural?” If a site doesn’t count as rural, we use HPSA designation, MUC or MUA designation or Governor’s Exception to determine if it counts as underserved. Some judgement calls are necessary.
• What do we mean by Interprofessional? Students must work with or learn from more than one provider from another discipline. This could be nurses, MAs, PAs, etc.  OR they can team up with another AHEC Scholar student from a different discipline and work/train at the same site together. Most clinical sites will provide enough IPE to count.
• Kick off Dinner Event 9/25
• Yearly Field trips
• Graduation/Networking Event with potential employers in Year 2
• Application deadline for Seattle cohort 9/15/19

There are still some spaces available in JSIS 578 – Special Topics: Congress and U.S. Foreign Policy this autumn.

This course examines the role of the U.S. Congress in shaping and driving U.S. foreign policy. Taught by a former member of the U.S. House of Representatives and a long-time House and Senate foreign affairs staffer, it explores both the statutory and political responsibilities through which elected representatives approach U.S. involvement abroad. Students will hone their skills in developing concise, compelling arguments on complex topics for both written and oral presentation. Course work will be largely driven by “mock Senate” floor debates, in which students will be required to confront notable foreign policy case studies from the perspective of their assigned roles as members of the U.S. Senate.

JSIS 578 E (5cr)

Tu/Th 10:30a-12:20p

Instructors: Jim McDermott & Celes Eckerman
