The Decriminalize UW Coalition, in partnership with the Coalition of Higher Education Workers, is hosting the teach-in “Decriminalizing Our College Campuses” on Thursday evening, December 3rd. This event is for faculty, staff, students, and community members–all are welcomed.

Date: December 3, 2020
Time: 6-8 pm
Location: Zoom link will be emailed to everyone who RSVPs
RSVP link: https://forms.gle/5FSZQsFTgAaYKUh56

Please join us for a teach-in presented by Decriminalize UW, Cops off Campus, and Local Activists. If you’re a student, staff member, faculty or community member adjacent to a college campus, and you’re curious about what it means to decriminalize a campus and/or interested in joining a movement to do that, please come! There is a long record of U.S university and municipal police harming people, especially BIPOC students, staff, faculty, and community members.

We’ll begin with a brief history of Decriminalize University of Washington (UW) and the roll-out of demands for this year, and then we’ll shift to a national focus on Cops Off Campus. After the presentation and panel, there will be time for small breakout groups to talk with others about your and their reactions before we reconvene as a larger group for Q&A. We’ll share a virtual handout so that you can continue the conversation with friends, family, and neighbors after the event.

The School of Social Work application for the 2nd Annual Latino Center for Health Student Scholars Fellowship Program is now open! The purpose of this program is to (1) support the next generation of leaders and scholars who will promote the health and well-being of Latinx communities in our state, and (2) convene an interdisciplinary cohort of health sciences students in the spirit of facilitating personal and professional connections and community-building.

This program will provide one graduate or professional student in each of the six UW Seattle campus health sciences schools, including the School of Social Work, with a $6,000 fellowship, disbursed throughout both winter and spring quarters of 2021 (must be actively enrolled during this time). This fellowship may be awarded as a stipend with an additional Non-Resident Differential (removes non-resident portion of tuition) if applicable.

Criteria
-Demonstrates a strong commitment to promoting the health of Latinx communities in WA State in one of the following areas—physical, mental, occupational and environmental health, or violence and injury prevention
-Open to all MSW students (must be actively enrolled winter and spring 2021)
-Applicants may identify as Latino/a/x or not. Undocumented and DACAmented students are encouraged to apply, as well as Afrolatino/a/x and indigenous Latinx students
-Past recipients of this fellowship are not eligible

Application Process: All materials must be received by December 10, 2020 (11:59PM PST) to be considered
-Please complete the short application form by the deadline.
-You will be asked to highlight your demonstrated commitment to promoting the health of Latinx communities, summarize how you have gone beyond course or program requirements, and how you have made an important impact in the community.
-You will also be asked to upload a PDF of a current resume/CV.

Please note that selected student fellows will be expected to meet with the Latino Center for Health team as well as the LCH Advisory Board during the first quarter of the Fellowship Program. They will also be expected to convene once as a cohort. The School of Social Work will select one nominee to put forward for this award and notification will be sent by December 14th, 2020.

Exciting opportunity to participate in a research study about creating inclusive and accessible classrooms for graduate students with learning disabilities.

The goal of this study is to gain insight into the unique needs of graduate students, the reasons some students choose to disclose and seek accommodations or not, and characteristics of classrooms models that might reduce or eliminate the need for students to self-disclose and rely on accommodations. To participate, you must be a currently enrolled graduate student, and have a learning disability (self-identified or documented).

This study will be conducted through interviews via Zoom. The interview will take less than an hour of your time. It includes questions about your undergraduate experience, your graduate experience, advice for faculty, and you will be asked to imagine your ideal classroom and describe what that looks like for you. All of your answers are confidential and pseudonyms will be used in the data, analysis, and any publication to protect the confidentiality of the participants.

The information you provide is crucial for improving the current practices and education environments for graduate students with disabilities. If you are a graduate student with a self-identified or documented learning disability, and you are interested in participating in the study, you may volunteer in any of the following ways:
-Fill out the Google Form: https://forms.gle/DHc6Qa9mDcE2XF688
-Email: mmboggs(at)uw.edu

A $25 gift card to the University Bookstore will be provided to all participants as compensation for their time and involvement in the study.

Highlighted NewsBlackwell Seminar: What do we know about racial disparities in NIH peer review?
Previous research has found that funding disparities in NIH grant applications are driven by applications’ final impact scores and that only a portion of the black/white funding gap can be explained by bibliometrics and topic choice. In this talk, Elena A. Erosheval will start with an overview of the past research on racial disparities in NIH peer review. A seminar presented on November 13th, the full recording can be viewed here.

EARTHLAB SALON Series: How We Present Native Knowledge is Environmental Justice: A case for Indigenous storytelling in museums

TUESDAY, DECEMBER 1 | 6:00-7:00 p.m. | Online | RSVP: https://bit.ly/35gHWJF

Part of centering equity and justice in environmental work includes honoring the knowledge and work of communities that disproportionately face environmental harms. This idea comes to bear when we consider the social and ecological harm Indigenous communities are experiencing due to large environmental events such as climate change, yet much of the academic and institutional community dismiss Native knowledge as non-scientific and non-relevant.

As public institutions, museums are often the primary, self-proclaimed expert of knowledge. They present Indigenous cultures and discuss their relationship to lands while suppressing the voices of the disenfranchised. The presentation will be focused on presenting some of the treasures of the Burke Museum along with commentary by Indigenous activists and poets, who will reclaim their history and stories creating a larger shift in how we present Indigenous Knowledges in Western institutions.

Elizabeth Gregory Home (EGH) is a University District Street Medicine (UDSM) site that is seeking to develop a regular list of volunteers for an outreach clinic. EGH serves unhoused women with a day center, transitional housing, and case management. UDSM seeks to support their strong program by offering on-site limited medical services to womxn seeking support and referrals.

Volunteer opportunities will be a goal of twice per month, on Sundays from 9:00 AM until 12:00 PM. All volunteers for this site must identify as womxn due to the restrictions at this site. This is a wonderful and rewarding place to volunteer regularly, with staff that know the womxn they serve well, and long term relationships. Please respond with interest 🙂

Additionally, we are looking for one additional women-identifying leader to serve as a co-outreach manager along with Kendall. This would require committing to attending one outreach clinic per month and helping to coordinate the preceptor and volunteers.

If you are interested in volunteering or have any questions, you can email Mary Mathison at mmathis@uw.edu.

How do you interrupt bias in classrooms so that all students thrive? One evidence-based answer: by building practical skills in Theatre of the Oppressed, social change theater, and other arts-based pedagogies. These practical skills serve students from all fields, no matter what their professional goals.

In this online course, students practice using the language and methods of theater to challenge institutional oppression and advance community dialogue about power and privilege. These methods generate opportunities for collective problem-solving. The course culminates in an online student-generated theater performance and dialogue.

Co-instructors: Tikka Sears and Elba Moise
