Good morning –

We are conducting research to measure social work students’ knowledge, attitudes and support of reparations for African American descendants of chattel slavery and its sequelae.

The social work landscape is changing daily, and students must be prepared to seek uncommon solutions to longstanding social problems and inequities. The benefit of participating in this research survey is the opportunity to consider a current social issue. Participant responses may also help the social work profession gain new insights about a potential social justice priority.  Information about study participant rights are available online at https://spalding.questionpro.com/t/AStsHZnsOj.

The study is voluntary and has been approved by Spalding University (IRB # 202139).  Please feel free to direct any questions Dr. V. Nikki Jones at vjones02@spalding.edu or (502) 912-5848.

Winner of the 2021-2022 Husky Seed Fund Award, Huskies for Neurodiversity is a student-led initiative that promotes visibility and acceptance of neurodiversity at UW campus and beyond. Spearheaded by a team with two neurodivergent students, our goal is to destigmatize and educate about neurodiversity and disability accommodations on campus to students and faculty, as well as provide a platform for neurodivergent individuals to share their stories and experiences in their own voice.

We hope to accomplish this in three big ways:

Website: Our website will feature the lived experiences of neurodivergent people as told from their own perspective, as well as provide credible articles and resources about a vast array of topics relevant to neurodiversity.

Research: Our research subcommittee will research topics on neurodiversity and write and publish articles and other multimedia pieces related to neurodiversity to our website.

Panel: Our panel will feature neurodivergent students and professionals answering questions about their experiences with neurodiversity throughout their life, and how they have transitioned to adulthood. It will feature small group discussions and engaging activities to teach the community about the social model of disability and accessibility.

Neurodivergent students are highly encouraged to apply. Detailed job descriptions and application forms are available at the following links:

Applications for Cohort 8 of the WA Health Care Authorities’ DBHR Prevention Fellowship Program beginning in September 2021 are now open!

Applications are due at 11:59 PM PST on July 26^th, 2021.

 

For the last two years, the Washington State Health Care Authority’s Division of Behavioral Health and Recovery – Prevention (DBHR-Px), in partnership with Washington State University’s IMPACT Lab, has welcomed 22 passionate, inquisitive, and hardworking undergraduate and graduate students into the DBHR Prevention Fellowship Program.

 

The DBHR Prevention Fellowship is a paid 10-month experience that offers unparalleled access to Washington State’s leaders in behavioral health prevention, treatment, and recovery. Fellows play a pivotal role in the DBHR team, helping solve real world problems in prevention science, substance use prevention, and mental health promotion. These interactions provide one-of-a-kind insights into state, local, and community initiatives that impact the health and wellbeing of children, youth, and families in Washington State. By the end of the Fellowship, Fellows are uniquely positioned to enter the prevention workforce, walking away with newfound leadership and communication skills and a deep understanding of multi-level prevention work.

 

Prevention science experience is not necessary, and students of all majors are encouraged to apply. We welcome all applicants who have obtained or are working towards a Bachelor’s degree! Whether your interest is in Social Work, Public Health, Public Policy, Communication, Public Administration, or elsewhere, there is a place for you here at DBHR-Px.

 

Take the Challenge! Make a Change!

Researchers in the Department of Epidemiology (Jessie Seiler, Anjum Hajat, Jen Balkus and Christine Khosropour) are embarking on some qualitative work.  In brief, they developed a new approach to facilitate the incorporation of anti-racist pedagogy into classes in Epidemiology.  The approach (known in the department as the course development plans or CDPs) was implemented during the 2020-2021 academic year and they are now doing an evaluation of the whole process. They intend to interview ~20-25 faculty and TAs to get feedback on the process and areas for improvement.

 

They are seeking to hire individuals with experience conducting in-depth interviews and who are not affiliated with our department or have taken classes with the instructors that will be interviewed.  They are estimating no more than 5 hours per week and hope to be done with interviews by the end of the summer. This work is being supported by a seed grant from UW OMAD. If you are potentially interested in working with them, please contact Jen Balkus (jbalkus@uw.edu). They would be happy to provide additional information on the project, scope, timeline and compensation.  If you are unable to participate but have recommendations on others who would be a good fit, they would welcome those contacts.
