Mikail Blyth
Mikail is a junior double majoring in Geography (Urban Political Economy focus) and an individualized program in Global Governance. His studies have brought him to highlight the development by which cities within industrializing nations are linked to their regional economies. He is particularly interested in studying the synekistic processes of urban economic agglomeration provided through adjacent or intraurban free economic zones in these cities. He seeks to look at how the presence of these zones within city-regions influences the way that a particular area is geoeconomically scripted by governments, media, and academic sources in terms of international competitiveness and entrepreneurialism—as well as other factors. Broadening this idea, he plans to explore two avenues: understanding the governance of such city-regions—which exist under variegated levels of sovereignty—by actors from the local to the international level and how they are both endogenously developed; as well as how the associated free economic zones serve important geopolitical means. Through his participation in the 2009 Summer Research Institute for the Arts and Humanities on Critical Imperial Studies at the University of Washington, he was able to express his interests above through a project on the interconnected development of Incheon Free Economic Zone and the Kaesong Industrial Complex, in both South and North Korea, respectively. He shall be expanding on this work through the McNair Program in the upcoming year and will be presenting these ideas at the National McNair Conference in November 2009. His other academic pursuits include understanding the integration of the global financial system, crisis capitalism and states of exception, feminist and postmodern theory, as well as critical cartographies and geopolitics. However, when he’s not lost in books, he finds himself writing poetry, creative nonfiction and music reviews, learning to dance [poorly] to soul music, volunteering through nonprofits, and fervently engaging in internet activism for Single Payer healthcare within the United States.

Alicia Martin
Alicia Martin is a senior majoring in Bioengineering. She is largely interested in genome sciences, and has been working in this department since April of her sophomore year. During this time, she has been studying genes required for the proper formation of tubes which give rise to essential organs, such as the heart, lungs, kidneys, gut, and neural tube. As an Integrative Research Intern supported by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, she has received incredible assistance in learning the language of primary literature documents, understanding research culture, and presenting her work at other universities. In order to satisfy the engineering and design requirements of her senior capstone project, she will be switching projects and investigating antibiotic toxicity. Specifically, she is interested in understanding which genes allow individuals to better cope with the nephrotoxic and ototoxic side effects of aminoglycosides, a class of antibiotics commonly used to treat cancer patients, burn victims, cystic fibrosis patients, etc. As the daughter of a deputy warden/ex-marine and disabled mother as well as the sister of a cystic fibrosis patient, she has learned the meaning of discipline, compassion, and perseverance. As a first-generation low-income college student, she has not had a guiding map to her future, but has nonetheless been motivated to attain her goals as a student and researcher. With this driving ambition, she hopes to pursue her PhD in biomedical sciences.
Sher'ee Maxwell
Sher’ee is a Sioux member of the Fort Peck Tribes in Poplar, Montana. She is currently a senior at the University of Washington pursuing a B.A. degree in American Indian Studies, and a minor in Anthropology.
Sher’ee is most interested in issues relating to spiritual, emotional, and the physical health and well being of Indigenous Native peoples. Her experience working with low-income and homeless urban Indian children and families in the Seattle area inspired her to return to school with a desire of conducting critical indigenous research on methods of strengthening and empowering Indigenous peoples.
Currently Sher’ee is looking more deeply at theories of culture and power, and how healing for Native peoples is related to reclaiming Indigenous ways of knowing and being, including participating in traditional cultural practices, protecting the environment, Indigenous language, and self-determination and sovereignty. At the heart of Sher’ee’s research is a core belief that knowledge is power, and each of us carries within us the sacred wisdom and knowledge of our ancestors.
Sher’ee plans to continue her higher education and earn a Ph.D., with a commitment to advocating for Indigenous rights, and for the health, prosperity, and healing of our mother Earth, and Indigenous peoples everywhere.
Wayne McNeal
Wayne is currently a senior at the University of Washington. Pursuing a degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering, Wayne aspires to gain Ph. D in either Transportation or Environmental Engineering. His current research interest includes the identification of organisms capable of degrading trace-level contaminants in wastewater, but also finds other areas of Civil Engineering interesting. He hopes that his studies will allow him to travel to different places and apply his engineering knowledge to promote low-impact development while creating harmony with the environment. He hopes to be inspiring for other underrepresented students that are aspiring to become engineers. During his free time, Wayne likes to dedicate time playing his tenor sax in the Husky Marching Band. He hopes that playing music will continue to inspire and entertain others while inducing creativity in his future studies as an aspiring professional engineer.
Delores Mondragon
Delores is majoring in American Ethnic Studies and proudly hold a 3.92 GPA. As a Chickasaw Chicana, she is aware of how important multi-ethnic studies are and frankly how few of us there are in the academic community. This summer she did a study on Chicana oppositional ethnography and its important view that we need to create our own language, to erase the “othering” that has been created. She hopes to pursue ethnography in her own community to establish a space where the voices of her people can be heard, and plans to do this by teaching as a professor in multi-ethnic studies and conducting research to change the status quo. As a decorated veteran and military spouse, Delores hopes to bring light to the idea that not all veterans are “old Caucasian men”—veterans are young, women, and of all ethnic backgrounds. Using her own experiences she hopes to bring light to the many unsung heroes that have contributed to the making of this country and to the intersectionality that vividly exists in our society. This will be the topic of her senior thesis. She is a borderlander and as Anzaldua brilliantly stated she “straddle[s] the border.” See see what the affects of the NAFTA Agreement and globalization have done both to Mexico and the United States borders, and hopes to do more work intertwining the “othering” and its affects on the erasure of minorities in the military and academia. Last but not least her hobby is being a mother to two children and a cheerleader for service members around the world especially her husband who puts his life on the line for this great nation. Her family has traveled the world and currently resides in Zushi, Japan. She is the proud daughter of Rogelio Mondragon and Jennifer Mondragon—the proud mother to Andrea 13 and Isabella 7—and the proud wife of Isidoro Madrigal. She came back to school to make them proud of her and she hopes to earn her PhD in the process. Delores hopes she can also make her people proud through her work.
Michael Motte
Michael is a student at the University of Washington who studies English after first attempting a major of Astronomy. Shortly after the start of Sophomore year, Michael switched over to the English major. Michael did much research with the Astronomy department mainly focused on the different types of galaxies in the universe and how best to run them through different simulation programs and image producing processes. In a new major, he has not yet taken part in research in the English Department, but is looking forward to the possibilities for research.
Emma Noyes
Xamesh-Xamesh Emma Noyes is the daughter of Maren and Stephen Noyes of Omak Washington and a proud member of the Sinixt (Lakes) band of the Colville Confederated Tribes. In 2004 she graduated from Omak High School and after her participation in an on-campus summer internship she was inspired to pursue higher education at the University of Washington. She is returning to her studies in public health and anthropology this year as a senior after enjoying an around-the-world solo travel adventure focused on Indigenous solidarity funded by the University of Washington Bonderman Fellowship. Emma is interested in these disciplines because of their combined potential to assist in areas that she is most passionate about: promoting Native/Indigenous wellness, reducing health disparities, fostering greater appreciation for culturally multifaceted ways of knowing and being, and decolonizing Native/Indigenous communities and individuals. Emma is an active member of First Nations @ UW where she has served as secretary, vice president, and volunteer coordinator for Spring Pow Wows. She is working this year as the American Indian Student Commission Director and spends as much time as she can making art.
Onyinyechukwu Okolie
Shokouh Pardakhtim
On September 27, 2002, Shokouh moved to the United States of America from Iran. Since her arrival in the United States, she has been working very hard to improve her communication skills in English while focusing on achieving her dreams. In less than a year she began taking ESL courses at South Seattle Community College. After improving her communication skills in English and finishing ESL courses successfully, she was able to take college-level courses in a variety of academic disciplines. Shokouh graduated from South Seattle Community College in the fall of 2005 and came to the University of Washington to complete her bachelor’s degree in Mathematics. After being a student at the University of Washington for a year, she began working in Dr. Kristin Swanson’s lab looking at mathematical modeling of brain tumors. She has received several awards such as: Mathematics Tutor, and Mathematic Student of the Year 2005 at south Seattle Community College. Shokouh has also been on the Honor Roll President’s List numerous times, and National Dean’s List. She was the STAR scholar for the summer of 207, VIGRE Award Recipient for the spring of 2008, and McNair scholar for the year 2008-2010.
Brittney Patterson
Brittney Patterson is a senior Economics major and Anthropology minor dancing her way through the University of Washington. She comes from a diverse background. Her parents are of African American, Irish, and Native American descent. Her family reunions are colorful, with Aunts and Uncles from Palau to cousins with Native American heritage. As a young child she realized that she was extremely different from my classmates. Brittney was semi-ashamed of her background because she felt different and that she never fit in. Her own confliction caused her to become incredibly interested in race, identity, and structures that re-enforce cultural misunderstanding. As a junior she took a class that would change the course of her academic path. Dance 250, which focuses on a multi-cultural dance education, opened her eyes to the importance of a diverse education in every discipline. In her research she focuses on the socio-economic, political, and social constructs of African Diasporic dances in South America and the Caribbean. Currently she is focusing my research on Bachata, a dance and music style from the Dominican Republic. This dance interests her particularly because of its marginalization in the Dominican class system and its association with racism. She hopes in the future that she will be able to expand her research and teach others about the cultural implications of dance and its importance in our everyday lives. Her hope is that one day she will move on to graduate school and a earn a PhD in Cultural Studies. Brittney would really love to be able to create an outlet for students just like her who are not interested in the technical aspects of dance or looking to study ballet. One day she would love to teach a room full of students who have the resources to study what ever their hearts desire.
Phillip Poonka
Phillip is a junior in the UW Bioengineering Program. He is primarily interested in biomedical instrumentation, with a focus on diagnostic tools. This past summer, he conducted research through the UW Heart and Muscle Mechanics Lab as an Amgen Scholar; his work involved studying genetically modified rat cardiomyocytes.
Phillip comes from a Russian-Finnish family and is able to use his language skills for medical interpretation. His personal interests include playing and listening to the piano and practicing Taekwondo. He feels very blessed to receive support from the McNair Scholars Program in preparation for his future studies and career.
TeQuiero "Kiara" Roberts
Kiara Roberts is pursuing a B.S. in psychology and a minor in education at the University of Washington. She is in her final year, and expects to graduate in the spring of 2010. Her primary interest is addiction, specifically in young adults. Kiara's desire to study addiction arose while she was working at a homeless shelter that also served as a treatment center. After seeing the effects of addiction first-hand, she decided that the best way to help those afflicted could be found in the pursuit of higher education.
Kiara has been working as a research assistant in the center for the study of health and risk behaviors (CSHRB) for the past three quarters. While there she has had the opportunity to work on several intervention-based research projects and has completed a two-day training in motivational interviewing. Kiara's first paper (of which she is the third author) entitled, "It's my party and I'll die if I want to: Extreme drinking on 21st birthdays among college students" has been submitted for publication and she has functioned as an ad hoc reviewer for three articles. While at the CSHRB Kiara has also had the opportunity to work with her adviser on data pertaining to PTSD symptomatology in sexually traumatized women and how those symptoms possibly affect their drinking behaviors. Working in the lab and being exposed to so many different research experiences has reinforced Kiara's desire to pursue a career in clinical psychology research.
Ruben Shimonov
Ruben is a senior majoring in International Studies, Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations, and Jewish Studies. Born in the Central Asian republic of Uzbekistan, and part of a small Persian-speaking Jewish community indigenous to the region, Ruben has always had a deep awareness of his multicultural and underrepresented background—whether in Uzbekistan or as an immigrant in the United States. This cognizance has led Ruben's academic and extracurricular involvement to be deeply linked to a passion for international and multicultural affairs.
Within global affairs, Ruben’s academic and research interests lie in the following areas: 1) sociological and historical study of ethnic and religious minority communities in the Near East, 2) socio-cultural study of the ways in which immigration affects the identities of these and other communities, 3) broader Near Eastern historical and linguistic studies, and 4) state-society relations within, as well as foreign relations between, countries in the Middle East and Central Asia. He has already presented his own research on these topics in one international and two University of Washington conferences, and he will be presenting at the McNair national conference in November. He hopes to merge his interdisciplinary interests while pursuing a PhD in either political science or sociology.
Ruben’s inquiry into international and multicultural studies has had a direct impact on his leadership work. As a student mentor for various Office of Minority Affairs and Diversity (OMA/D) programs, Ruben has diligently worked to contribute to an organization that has contributed to his own growth. As a peer facilitator for FIUTS—an organization which seeks to enhance international awareness and encourage cultural exchange between international and American students at the UW—he has been able to assist students that are experiencing the United States for the first time, just like he did upon his own immigration. Last year, Ruben assumed a prominent role in reestablishing the Near Eastern Languages and Cultures Student Association (NELC-SA), of which he is currently the president. NELC-SA provides an opportunity for students who are interested in the Near East to interact and learn from each other’s academic and experiential work. Last year, the organization planned the first student-run conference at the University of Washington on Near Eastern studies. The conference brought together UW students engaged in Near Eastern research from all disciplines, allowing both undergraduate and graduate students to share their research in an academic forum with their colleagues, professors, and the broader UW community.
Via work and internship opportunities, Ruben has gained further insight into his academic passions and professional goals. As an intern at the Trade Development Alliance and the World Affairs Council, he has had a first-hand view of the workings of internationally-oriented professional organizations. As a Hebrew tutor at C.L.U.E., he has improved his instructional skills by conveying his proficiency in foreign languages to a diverse population of students. Yet, his most rewarding work experience in college has been his position as a writing tutor at the OMA/D Instructional Center. Ruben loves working as a tutor at the IC because it allows him to utilize his skills as a writer to help students and aid students. As he assists students from a wide array of classes and personal backgrounds, he is honored to be contributing to their learning experience in college.
Joseph Thompson
Joseph Thompson is a senior pursuing double degrees in Music and Comparative History of Ideas with a minor in Norwegian Studies. Since entering the program, Joseph has been an engaged member of the CHID community, peer facilitating CHID 110: The Question of Human Nature in his first fall quarter. He was a member of the Anti-Racist Pedagogy focus group that performed a critique the CHID program through an anti-racist framework, served on the Implementation of Anti-Oppressive Pedagogy committee and co-authored a document which outlined issues of identity-based inequality and potential solutions to the curriculum to CHID 390, the program's capstone class. These groups' activity resulted in a department-wide re-evaluation of purpose; classes were revised and new classes were created, such as a peer facilitation training course.
He is currently working on his Honors thesis in CHID which focuses on the genre of first-person shooter video games and how they play into a larger history of identity (mis)construction and appropriation in America. The project uses the concept of “surrogate bodies” in the historical formulation of American identity to approach the virtual embodiment afforded in first-person shooter games and examine the social work performed in that surrogacy.
Joseph identifies as a mixed-race student, claiming Hunkpapa (enrolled), Miniconjou, English, Scotch-Irish and German heritage. Last year, he co-created and co-instructed a class in Women Studies, “Mixed Identities and Racialized Bodies,” which looked specifically at mixed-race identities through a variety of lenses. Topics discussed include historical frameworks, racial formation, mass media, science fiction, education, binaries and intersectionality, acceptance and the politics of claiming identities. He also presented at the 12th Annual UW Undergraduate Research Symposium on the research that went into the design and instruction of the Mixed Identities and Racialized Bodies curriculum.
In addition to his academic life Joseph is musically active, performing and recording with several groups. He has completed an audio engineering and music production program at Portland State University and volunteered for several years at KBOO community radio in Portland, OR. His goal beyond undergraduate education is to complete an interdisciplinary Ph.D program in which he can explore the intersections of critical race theory, cultural studies, media studies and issues of science and technology.
Tonahuac Valencia
Tonahuac Valencia is currently a senior at the University of Washington. He will be double majoring in Political Science and International Studies: European Studies. Tonahuac grew an interest specifically within the European Union in order to understand the mechanisms of an organization that was once believed to be impossible. Through this career Tonahuac hopes to one day expand his studies to look at Latin America where he will began to theorize if this same model can be extrapolated to the Latin American countries for a unification that would both enhance the welfare of the citizens and make it a competitive region in the world market, both in terms of the Economy and Politically. He is also interested in immigration issues and hope to one day pursue either a law degree or a political position where he can help underprivileged people receive opportunities that have allowed him to enter a higher education and live a better life. Tonahuac has studied abroad in Italy, and Belgium where he conducted research at the Université Libre de Bruxelles and Katholieke Universiteit Leuven on Common Foreign and Security Policy for the European Union. He is actively involved in the community through his fraternity Omega Delta Phi where he seeks to mentor students who are first generation university students. Tonahuac is also involved in Model European Union, and Model United Nations.
