Medicine Wheel Society and Sylvia’s Alliance are partnering up to share the documentary Silent No More.

More about the film:

On some reservations, Native American women are murdered at 10 times the rate of the national average.

This documentary, created by White Bison, Inc. and the Wellbriety Movement, presents an authentic look at missing and murdered Indigenous Women. Families from Pine Ridge, South Dakota  and Lame Deer, Montana share their stories of suffering in this film. By sharing their experiences, they hope to bring awareness to these issues

Silent No More Event

As you enter into the professional world of counseling do you ever question…

Do I belong here?

Am I qualified enough?

Can I make the transition from academia to the workforce?

You are not alone.

These are common concerns and fears that graduate students and post graduate professionals experience every day. Being a person of color in the mental health field adds an additional dynamic that can heighten our doubt about our role in this work. Connecting as a community allows for us to share and overcome the internal and external barriers that can keep us from doing this necessary work.

Please join us for this critical conversation:

Challenging Imposter Syndrome: Resilience in Spaces of Oppression

A panel of mental health professionals of color will share their journeys and experiences.

All students who identify as counseling students of color (MSW, LMFT, MA, M.Ed, etc) are invited to this event Sponsored by the WA Counselors of Color Network and the Seattle University Master of Arts in Couples & Family Therapy Program.

Leadership and Equity: Leading Self and Leading with Others (PUBPOL 598D)

Course description: The workshop will be an interactive series of three sessions focused on leadership, diversity, equity and inclusion. Students can expect to: develop a shared understanding of key definitions of diversity, equity and inclusion; examine dominant culture habits and how they show up in our leadership and in our work; engage in relationship building and cultural identity storytelling; and practice strategies (inquiry, empathy, giving feedback, naming an issue) that support communicating across differences of culture, social identity, power and privilege.  

The workshop will meet on three Fridays in Autumn 2019 (11:30 am to 2:30 pm on November 1, November 8 and November 15).

URBDP 585 Introduction to Historic Preservation
Autumn Quarter
3 credits
Mondays & Wednesday 5:30 – 6:50 PM
Gould 440

Manish Chalana, Ph.D.; Associate Professor, Urban Design and Planning; Adjunct Associated Professor in Architecture and Landscape Architecture; Director: Graduate Certificate in Historic Preservation; and Co-Director: Center for Preservation and Adaptive Reuse (C-PAR).  Chalana@uw.edu

This interdisciplinary course integrates historic preservation with a diverse set of disciplines and engages themes of livability, equity and sustainability. The class will explore the history and theory of historic preservation, changing nature of preservation practice, and current and future challenges the field faces. Historic Preservation in the United States has evolved dramatically over the last four decades from a rather narrow, generally Eurocentric enterprise focusing on high-style monumental architecture, to a more broad based approach to urban design, sustainability, livability and place-making. Today the field attempts integrating discipline as diverse as sociology, museology, geography, anthropology, ecology, landscape architecture and planning. From its patriotic and nostalgic roots the field has become more socially conscious and self-critical, signaling the dawn of a new era of theory and practice

See attachment or email Manish Chalana at chalana@uw.edu for further information.

We’re co-teaching an interprofessional course this fall and we’re trying to recruit 7-8 MSW students to join our 7-8 medical students for FAMED 527: Interprofessional Care of Urban Underserved Patients.

Each week we feature a practicing social worker and a physician who share their experiences, insights, and resources.

If you have students that might be interested, please feel free to forward this announcement and attached flyer. Or, if you have suggestions for listservs or other ways to publicize the course (I believe Lin Murdock has posted it on the SSW blog already), please let me know!
