South Korea and the United States have invested 70 years forging an alliance which defines geopolitics in Asia. Korea’s success is a product of national determination and consistent support from the US.

While the relationship between the two nations remains strong, will increasing US-China competition change the face of the alliance forever?
Join us on Friday, October 6 from 1 to 5:30pm in the Walker-Ames Room as two panels of experts will review and interpret the future of US-SK relations and decipher Korea’s role between its greatest democratic ally and its largest economic partner.

On Wednesday, October 11, at 6:30pm in Communications 120, the University of Washington welcomes Executive Director of Women Cross DMZ Christine Ahn and Director Deann Borshay Liem for a screening and Q&A of their film, Crossings.
In CROSSINGS, a group of international women peacemakers sets out on a risky journey across the demilitarized zone between North and South Korea, calling for an end to a 70-year war that has divided the Korean peninsula and its people. The groundbreaking mission of Women Cross DMZ is captured in an intimate cinema vérité style, framed with historic newsreels of the Korean War and punctuated with dramatic contemporary news coverage.
Although the Korean War was halted by armistice in 1953, the warring parties never signed a peace treaty. Nearly 70 years later, the threat of renewed fighting looms as American troops continue to occupy the Korean peninsula, North and South Korea remain adversaries, and millions of Koreans are tragically separated from their family members.

Join UW-TSP on Thursday, October 12 at 3:30pm in Thomson Hall 317 as we welcome Professor Janet Chen to discuss her newly published monograph, The Sounds of Mandarin. This talk will be featured in person and online. Please register at our Eventbrite page.
Mandarin Chinese is the most widely spoken language in the world today. In China, a country with a vast array of regional and local vernaculars, how was this national language created – and how did people learn to speak it? The Sounds of Mandarin traces the surprising social history of a spoken standard, from its creation as the national language of the early Republic in 1913, to its journey to postwar Taiwan, and its reconfiguration as the “common language” of the People’s Republic after 1949.
This book talk will focus on Taiwan from 1945-1955, when the triangular competition between Japanese kokugo, a newly arrived guoyu, and the island’s varied vernacular speech confounded the Guomindang’s attempt to mandate a change in speech norms. In the formative ye…

Powers' book, The Journalist’s Predicament, co-authored with Professor Sandra Vera-Zambrano, looks closely at what drives people to pursue a career in journalism despite the profession’s ongoing upheavals. This in-depth story of one profession under pressure uncovers tensions confronting other socially important jobs like teaching, nursing, and caretaking.
Russell’s book The Mediated Climate explores where the climate and information crises meet, where journalism, activism, and Big Tech shape public discourse. The book makes a strong case that efforts to address fossil fuel pollution without addressing communication pollution will continue to limp along. It highlights environmental and social problems and maps new ways to drive change.

Abstract
Contemporary clinical trials selectively draw on epigenetics to connect behavioral choices made by pregnant people, such as diet and exercise, to health risks for future generations. As the first ethnography of its kind, Weighing the Future examines the sociopolitical implications of ongoing pregnancy trials in the United States and the United Kingdom, illuminating how processes of scientific knowledge production are linked to racism, capitalism, surveillance, and environmental reproduction. This groundbreaking book makes the case that science, and how we translate it, is a reproductive project that requires feminist vigilance. Instead of fixating on a future at risk, this book brings attention to the present at stake. Biography
Natali Valdez is a medical anthropologist and science and technology scholar who studies how race, gender, and power are enveloped into scientific knowledge production. She draws from Black feminism and postcolonial feminist science studies to critically examine epigenetic…

About Tortoise Under the Earth
In a uranium mining area of Jharkhand, India, a tribal couple copes with the loss of their daughter. For them, the land and forest bear witness to their daughter's memory. With great sensitivity and beauty, the film explores the deeply intertwined connections between tribal communities and the forest that is their traditional home. Deftly interweaving the vivid colors of their festivals, folk songs, and the sense of community that binds them together, 'Tortoise Under The Earth' is a poetic elegy to a world that is rapidly disappearing, subsumed by unchecked development and displacement. The film utilizes the couple's tragedy, expanding to reveal regional details, emphasizing the broader environmental crisis and human rights issues affecting the Santhal tribe, native people of India and Bangladesh who are threatened by uranium…

Film Screening & Discussion | Above and Below the Ground
Above and Below the Ground depicts the Indigenous women activists and punk rock pastors leading Myanmar’s first country-wide environmental movement. When the Myanmar army and a Chinese corporate giant force Indigenous Kachin people off their ancestral land to build the massive Myitsone Dam, grandmother Lu Ra stands her ground. We see her struggle to save the sacred confluence and build a movement, mentoring young female law student Hkawn Mai. A Kachin punk rock band made of pastors, BLAST, also takes action, transforming their love songs into protest anthems. Our film follows these individuals through their journey of activism, from their underground beginnings during Myanmar’s military junta rule, to supposed “democratic” reforms and a sudden military coup. During such periods of fledgling democracy and dictatorship–in Myanmar and globally–our film asks how ordinary people can use the power of music, community organizing and women’s leadership to challenge authoritarianism.

About the Lecture
This year marks the 50th anniversary of Section 504, the first disability civil rights law enacted in the United States. In this lecture, Dr. Woiak will explore questions about how the histories of disabled people and the concept of disability are remembered and forgotten. When society, academia, and historical records marginalize and erase disability, whose stories are left untold? And what are the consequences for people with disabilities today?

The Democratization of Sex Education
Dr. Nicole K. McNichols, Associate Teaching Professor, Department of Psychology, University of Washington
Research shows that our sexuality is intricately tied to our physical and mental well-being and even predicts our longevity. It informs our identity, strengthens our relationships and connects us to our own bodies. Despite this, most people, especially students, have been left in the dark by a nation that refuses to federally mandate sex education. The result is shame, confusion, fear and avoidance around the too frequently stigmatized topic of sex. This talk explores strategies for breaking down these walls using research-backed teaching methodologies that acknowledge how students learn, celebrate their diverse backgrounds and that recognize the unique yet challenging sexual landscape they exist in today.
This free lecture is part of the promotion review for Dr. McNichols in the Department of Psychology.

The Darkening Tide of Digital Repression and the Risks of Journalistic Reluctance
Please join the CJMD on October 18 at 330 pm in CMU 126 for a talk by Professor Jennifer Henrichsen of Washington State University. She will discuss why journalists often fail to take the necessary information security steps to better protect themselves, their sources, and their stories, despite well-known threats from surveillance, hacking and spyware technologies.
Abstract: This lecture examines why journalists often fail to take the necessary information security steps to better protect themselves, their sources, and their stories, despite ongoing threats to journalism. From mass surveillance and intrusive spyware technologies to hacking, political intimidation, and legal challenges, these threats coalesce to impact journalism and endanger public service news. This deteriorating information ecosystem contributes to the repression of journalists and their sources, chilling freedom of expression and the ability of journalists to carry out their roles in a democratic society.

Despite playing a significant role in practices ranging from colonial natural history to anticolonial ecopoetics, translation often goes unremarked in scholarship and curricula on cultural histories of the environment. Jason Groves will share possibilities for introducing translation to the environmental humanities classroom. Cristina Sánchez-Martín will describe the design and implementation of a community-based translation module in ENGL 370, “Introduction to English Language” and how students approached English(es) as a situated language practice, learning what it means to tell collective stories of translation while dwelling in incomplete closures.

In doing so, she sheds light on the unparalleled surge in gun purchasing during one of the most dire moments in American history, revealing how conservative political culture was galvanized amid a once-in-a-century pandemic, racial unrest, and a U.S. presidential election that rocked the foundations of American democracy.

Jaipreet Virdi: The Disabled Gaze: Rethinking the Past, Remaking the Future
How do disabled people use their technologies to draw attention to, rather than hide, their disability? The disabled gaze is an autonomous claiming of identity that rejects typical perceptions of disability as objectifying or exploitative. It offers a way to examines how disabled people, past and present, asserted themselves—through art, for instance—or challenged medical assumptions about their bodies.
What happens when we center the disabled gaze in our creations of the future? In this talk, Dr. Jaipreet Virdi asks us to consider how being disabled changes the ways people view the world and the things they create. Through these perspectives, she invites alternative approaches for remaking crip worlds, one in which disabled people, and the disabled gaze, are centered first and foremost.

Jevin West: Generative Misinformation
Addressing misinformation is one of society’s grand challenges. In so doing, we might have a chance at the other grand challenges—preventing the next pandemic, preserving our planet, and protecting democracy. Humans, armed and amplified with social media, have been the primary producers of misinformation. This may be changing. Human-like chatbots and other forms of generative AI are and will contribute to this problem. It was a hard enough with humans; AI might make pre-2023 look like the good old days of mitigating misinformation. In this talk, I will address some of these new challenges and potential next steps.

Join us for this special event featuring international policy specialist Dr. Narushige Michishita as he discusses the current multi-faceted security policy of Japan at a time of growing intensity in the region.
With the introduction of three security policy documents in December 2022, Japan committed to strive to maintain peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait. To achieve that goal, it has started to acquire the necessary capabilities, further strengthen the US-Japan alliance, and build partnerships with countries in the Indo-Pacific region. However, China will likely take steps to undermine the effectiveness of Japan’s effort. In this session, Professor Michishita will discuss the security environment in Indo-Pacific, Japan’s new security strategy, and what the United States and Japan should do to deal with emerging security challenges.

Sharon Stein, "The University and its Responsibility for Repair: Confronting Colonial Foundations and Enabling Different Futures" | A Worlds of Difference lecture
For the past 500 years, higher education has been entangled in the reproduction of social and ecological violence around the globe. This presentation asks how universities, and those of us who work and study within them, might meaningfully reckon with and enact repair for our complicity in historical and ongoing coloniality and unsustainability. It approaches reparations as a potentially regenerative process of enacting material redistribution and restitution, (re)building relationships grounded in respect and reciprocity, and repurposing our institutions to be more relevant and responsible in the context of the current polycrisis. The talk will also review several resources for navigating the complexities of confronting the colonial foundations of higher education and enabling different futures. Sharon Stein (Educational Studies, University of British Columbia) is the author of Unsettling the University: Confronting the Colonial Foundations of US Higher Education (Johns Hopkins, 2022), founder of the…

Throughout this year, several noteworthy examples have brought to light the profound effects of AI technologies on individuals and society. We witnessed AI systems displaying unfair bias towards disabled parents, data enrichment workers prone to low wages and inadequate working conditions, a chatbot providing improper advice to teens, Hollywood writers protesting against AI content generation, and deepfakes blurring the line between fabricated information and reality. Furthermore, a recent survey conducted by KPMG showed that three out of five people across nations are wary about trusting AI due to various factors including, cybersecurity threats, impact to human rights, biased outcomes, job loss and deskilling. Needless to say, creating equitable and trustworthy experiences necessitates thorough deliberation. In this lecture, Dr. Sethumadhavan will employ compelling case studies to highlight how incorporating the feedback of relevant stakeholders, including end-users, marginalized communities, domain experts…

Book Talk w/ Elliott Prasse-Freeman | Rights Refused: Grassroots Activism and State Violence in Myanmar
In this book, Elliott Prasse-Freeman documents grassroots political activists who advocate for workers and peasants across Burma, covering not only the so-called "democratic transition" from 2011-2021, but also the February 2021 military coup that ended that experiment and the ongoing mass uprising against it. Taking the reader from protest camps, to flop houses, to prisons, and presenting practices as varied as courtroom immolation, occult cursing ceremonies, and land reoccupations, Rights Refused shows how Burmese subaltern politics compel us to reconsider how rights frameworks operate everywhere.
