There is still time to register for The Graduate School’s new course for the Spring quarter entitled:

“Engaging with Microaggressions & Macroassaults- Equity in Praxis”.

We invite graduate students, faculty, and staff from all disciplines to participate in this interdisciplinary course which seeks to equip participants to critically engage with microaggressions and macroassaults- both the everyday insults and hostilities as well as the structural, large-scale policies and practices that perpetuate the oppression of marginalized populations. Inspired by Paulo Freire’s notion of praxis (the intersection of reflection and action), the course will work to empower participants to address, interrupt, and confront these forces in their personal and professional lives.

You may email Saejin Kwak Tanguay (gsdivra@uw.edu) with any questions.

Healthy food. Longer lives. Jobs and business opportunities.

Studies have shown that a child raised on the Eastside of Tacoma is likely to live 7–12 years less than one raised in other parts of the city, and access to healthy food has been identified as a strong contributor to this disparity. Creating a local food economy will stimulate better access to healthy food as well as jobs and business opportunities. As part of UW Livable City Year: Tacoma, this course will engage students from both Seattle and Tacoma campuses and will identify a set of recommendations for advancing the objective of an Eastside Food Innovation District in Tacoma. The City has begun work on this project, but needs help understanding how to incentivize and recruit the types of businesses that make a difference in this area and how to ensure that a Food Innovation District can become self-sustaining and will improve the lives of people in this community. In this course, we will work directly with the City of Tacoma and spend significant time in the field. Please email conlin@speakeasy.net for more information.

Dear UW Students,

We urge you to participate in this research study on student experiences with housing and food. This tri-campus study is motivated by concern for the well-being of university students in light of the increased costs of living in the Puget Sound region and the lack of systematic information about how students on all three UW campuses are affected by the economic changes in our region.

Please take 10-15 minutes of your time to share your valuable thoughts in this voluntary and confidential survey. The survey will be open through March 16, and participants will be entered into a drawing for one of 20 $100 Visa gift cards.

Survey link: https://tinyurl.com/housingandfood

Your participation today can help lead to better support for students in the future.

Sponsored by the Urban@UW Homelessness Research Initiative: For more information on the “Understanding Housing and Food Insecurity Among UW Students” faculty research project, click here. Questions can be directed to urbanuw@uw.edu.
