There are 5 spaces available in JSIS 540: Economics & Politics of International Development in spring 2020 taught by Mary Callahan.

This course examines economic development in less-developed nations, with a focus on post-World War II development in sub-Saharan Africa and India. It explores possible determinants of economic growth, including foreign investment, international trade and foreign aid. Particular attention will be paid to the role that institutional factors, such as executive power and protection of property rights, play in determining economic outcomes. We will also analyze how the international monetary and financial system affects development, the role of globalization in economic crises, and how fiscal and monetary policy can affect growth in developing countries. We will conclude with an examination of how economic growth is affecting population and environmental issues in the developing world.

Population Health Social Entrepreneurship Fellows call for applications

The Population Health Initiative – in partnership with the Buerk Center for Entrepreneurship, CoMotion and the Evans School of Public Policy & Governance – is accepting applications for the summer quarter 2020 Social Entrepreneurship Fellows Program. The paid fellowship will be offered to four graduate students from different disciplines to explore various social enterprise models for innovations that are developed by University of Washington researchers.

Projects for 2020 include an affordable technology to remove heavy metal contamination from water, an app that delivers pesticide safety information in Spanish, and a financial reporting tool for public health agencies. All innovations are seeking novel ideas for how they can be financially sustainable while at the same time ensuring that the social impact of the work remains as important as any potential revenue generation.

Fellows will each have primary responsibility for one project, but will be also expected to work as a team, with each fellow contributing their disciplinary expertise to all projects. Eligible graduate students from all UW schools or colleges are encouraged to apply.

Applications are due on March 13, 2020.

Definition of Talk Story: “Talk Story (‘olelo Kama’ilio) is sharing ideas, stories, history and opinions. It is two or more people taking the time out of the day to slow down and talk. In Hawai’i it is just the normal way of interacting with our neighbors.” “And talk story means you’re getting to know one another. You’re stopping to interact and to listen and to really just share something of yourself with someone else.”  source

So far our SWAPI Talk Story speakers have been Dean Uehara, Kalei Kanuha, Mike Spencer, Jane Lee, Norma Timbang, Stan de Mello, and Stella Gran-O’Donnell.
