Behind each cherry blossom is a journey, and behind each face is a story. Oftentimes we focus on sharing our achievements and success, but rarely do we ever talk about the steps and obstacles we took to get here. Here at Unite UW, we focus on building a family through story-telling. Every story holds a merit, no matter how big or small. Together, we would cry and smile through this 7-week cultural exchange experience. So what is your story?

MGMT 579A Women and Leadership (4)

Women in Leadership –You see them in the media: fabulous females who are top executives and successful entrepreneurs and visionaries making a real difference in their communities and the world.

This graduate seminar will investigate the biological underpinnings of interpersonal communication. Students will read chapters and articles by prominent interpersonal communication scholars on the ways in which biology can both influence and be influenced by our communication behavior. Moreover, students will discuss strengths and limitations for methods of collecting biological data and discuss various analytic strategies for measuring biological markers.

There are 3 spaces available in JSIS 540: Economics and Politics of International Development taught by Mary Callahan this spring 2019.

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.

A faculty member in Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences is seeking an RA (20 hours per week, but with no tuition) and a study coordinator (20% FTE) to work on a project with home care  aides, training ‘peer navigators’ to help other aides who have injuries or musculoskeletal pain to find the medical, legal and rehab resources they might need.  The project is in partnership with SEIU Local 775 Benefits Group.

Research Assistant Needed

Assessing the effectiveness of a peer navigator program for home care aides with injuries or chronic musculoskeletal pain

Dates: April 1, 2019 for up to 18 months
Hourly, 20 hours per week (no tuition support available)

Brief project description:
Home care aides in Washington State have high injury rates and often experience difficulties navigating the workers’ compensation system or managing their work-related injuries. For this project, we will develop, implement, and evaluate a pilot peer navigator program aimed at reducing access barriers for injured workers or those experiencing chronic musculoskeletal pain, and helping them receive care and return to work, and sustain work in a timely and productive manner. We are seeking a research assistant to work on the project, which is in partnership with SEIU Local 775 Benefits Group.

The research assistant will assist in implementing and evaluating the peer navigator trainings and program, including supporting the development of curriculum materials, training logistics, collecting and analyzing survey data, and report writing. This is an hourly position for six academic quarters (tuition not covered). The work performed in this research assistant position could serve as the basis of a master’s thesis or capstone project.

“Mitigating Criminal Justice Debt in Pierce County”

Karin Martin

UW Evans School of Public Policy & Governance

Monday, March 11th
12:30 pm – 1:30 pm
*Q&A until 2:00 pm

School of Social Work, Room 305A

This project explores the interconnections between criminal justice system involvement, court-ordered debt, and poverty, in partnership with a Tacoma-based community organization. Two research questions motivate the project: 1) what is the nature and extent of criminal justice debt in Pierce County Courts? And, 2) what policy interventions can attenuate the social costs of court-ordered debt for low-income residents? To address these questions, the project draws on monetary sanction and sentencing data from Washington State’s Administrative Office of the Courts, in addition to focus groups with residents who owe money to the courts. We find that Pierce County courts (municipal, district, superior) assessed more than $332 million in monetary sanctions between 2011 and 2017, generating approximately $228 million in outstanding criminal justice debt—with significant racial disparities. Focus group participants report being trapped in a cycle of poverty penalization that includes being subject to incarceration, having cars impounded, and being assessed even more monetary sanctions stemming from the inability to pay the initial criminal justice debt. Housing insecurity, forgoing necessities (e.g. groceries, utility bills), and driver’s license suspension were common in our sample. Our analysis points to a number of policy changes that could reduce the harm of criminal justice debt in Pierce County.

Taking Care: a conference for engaging the politics, processes, and ethics of care work—Call for Papers

The University of Washington’s Harry Bridges Center for Labor Studies and Department of Geography are pleased to announce that Taking Care: a conference for engaging the politics, processes, and ethics of care work will be held on May 3-4, 2019 at the University of Washington Seattle. We aim to bring together researchers who broadly engage with care theory in their work in some way: whether through care labor, politics of care, feminist care ethics, the racialization of care, representations of care, care networks, or any other framing that helps us to understand care in new ways. We are particularly interested in ways that power, politics, identity, and socio-spatial processes intersect to shape how we understand, value, and think about care. This opens possibilities for numerous orientations, including care as work, care as practice, and care as relationships.

This conference aims to bring together scholars and community members who engage with different facets of care work in their research and in their everyday lives. We invite participants to think about care with each other in new and different ways, including the politics, processes, precarity, and ethics of care work. The conference provides an opportunity for presentations on care research and advocacy, small group seminars, and other spaces to develop our own networks of care. A detailed schedule will soon be posted online at takingcareconference.wordpress.com.
