Dr. Evan Kanter and I are offering a UW public health class in Spring 2018, “War and Health.” The course received a rating of 4.8 (out of 5) last spring, one of the top-rated courses of the quarter!

The 4-credit course (SLN 149810) meets Mondays & Wednesdays, 10 to 11:20, in Health Sciences auditorium K069, and on Fridays from 10 to 10:50, in South Campus Center 221 (the new active learning center).

Dr. Kanter is an MD PhD neuroscientist and psychiatrist who has worked at the VA to counsel veterans with PTSD. He’s also served as president of the national Physicians for Social Responsibility. I’ve led projects to measure war-related mortality and morbidity in Iraq. To bring these subjects to life, students entering the class will each select a “study war” (your own personal war!) to serve as a case example of topics we explore. The Friday discussion circles will include representatives of a number of wars to compare and contrast. Graduate students in the course will serve as discussion leaders.

If you were born in the 1990s or later, the U.S. has been at war during your entire sentient life! It’s among the most important determinants of health, if not directly (through mass killings), then indirectly (through diversion of resources, creating a culture of violence and militarism, undermining health and education systems, spurring refugee migration, and more).

Course limited to 60 students. I’m happy to send the syllabus upon request. Graduate students should take 515; Undergrads 415.

Winter 2018 HSERV 590C Announcement

Selected Topics: Organization Theory and Applications in the Study of Health Services

Course Number: HSERV 590C

SLN: 15477

Meeting Time: Thursdays 3:30-6:20 PM

Location: Health Sciences Center, Room E-214

Instructor: Suzanne J. Wood, PhD, MS, FACHE

Assistant Professor, Department of Health Services

Email: sjwood@uw.edu

Course Description

The primary objective of this doctoral seminar is to examine seminal theoretical perspectives and issues studied under the organization theory (OT) archetype. The purpose is to provide health services researchers with a rigorous set of analytical tools essential to conducting evidence-based management inquiry that informs both knowledge and practice concurrently. Students are to survey important historical contributions and more recent frameworks for their theoretical and empirical contributions to management practice. Particularly important is competency development in the areas of management innovation, organizational learning and collaboration, as well as contextual problem solving techniques. Consequently, special attention will be given to the interface between theoretical approaches and the taking of informed, calculated risks in problem solving.

SOC W 586 – Policy Advocacy – Local Government (1 cr)

Thursdays, 5-5:50pm

SLN: 23632

Course Description

This is the first of three, one-credit CR/NC courses to be conducted in each of the three quarters of the school year. The fall quarter focuses on the nuts and bolts of local government policymaking, the winter quarter focuses on the Washington state legislative process, and the spring quarter focuses on the federal government. The emphasis for each quarter is involvement in the policymaking processes, starting with the basics – who are my elected representatives? How do I communicate with them? How do I get others to do the same? This experiential learning is accompanied by substantive information on how each level of government works and how to be an effective advocate. The goal is to give social workers and others the tools they need to play a part in the policymaking process.  Policy materials—news articles, reports, analyses, laws, regulations, budgets, and other related publications will make up the readings.

The Fall 2017 Quarter

Local government plays an important in the lives of people with lower incomes and other marginalized populations. The goal of this quarter is to get students comfortable with city and county legislative processes as well as land use and other regulatory processes that make up public policy on the local level. Students will have the opportunity to explore local policy issues of their choosing, such as living wage jobs, access to transportation, affordable housing, inclusionary zoning and city and local budgets.

This year also marks a City Council election. We will be following elections and ballot issues and analyzing the potential policy outcomes for low income and marginalized populations. This course has three goals. First, to give students a general sense of how local government works and the role it plays with respect to social policy. Second, to give students a sense of how local government and the people it serves are affected by changes in the law.  And third, to give students an experience in influencing local policies, so that it can become a part of their social work identity.
