OpEd Writing Group Workshop: How to Write and Submit OpEds for Publication
Join us for an online op-ed writing and peer feedback workshop to learn how to write impactful op-eds. Attendees will learn strategies to write op-eds, have a chance to write individually during the session, and then get into breakout rooms with other attendees to get feedback on drafts of their work.
This workshop is a follow-up to one provided by the Scholars Strategy Network last spring and will be led by UW Libraries staff. Attendees were interested in more opportunities for dedicated writing and peer feedback time. Attendance at the spring workshop is not required; we will begin the workshop with a brief overview of the content. Due to the interactive nature of this workshop, it will not be recorded.

Over the course of late antiquity, the Jews in Babylonia, modern Iraq, lived under the Sasanian Empire, a Persian and Zoroastrian power that rivaled the Romans to their west in size and strength. Among these Babylonian Jews were a community of rabbis who are featured in, and were responsible for, the Babylonian Talmud, one of the most influential texts in Jewish history. How did life under the Sasanian Empire affect Babylonian Jews, the Babylonian rabbis, and the nature of the Talmud? To date, the answer to these questions has been relatively straightforward: the Sasanian Empire impacted Jews precisely by leaving them to thrive in seclusion. Based on Simcha Gross' recently published book, Babylonian Jews and Sasanian Imperialism in Late Antiquity, this talk offers a new understanding of both Babylonian Jewish society and Sasanian rule, opening new vista on the social, cultural, and historical dimensions of their intertwined histories.
Simcha Gross is an Assistant Professor at the University of Pennsylvania,…

'The Popularization of the Hundred Poets in Edo-Period Japan', with Joshua S. Mostow, UBC
Hybrid event! Registration required to attend in person or on-line.
Lecture followed by a reception.
This lecture will not be recorded. Join us on a journey exploring how knowledge of the Hyakunin Isshu (One Hundred Poets, One Poem Each) collection spread among the commoner class in Japan’s early modern Edo period (1600-1868) to become the foundation of popular literary literacy through the booming print culture, especially by means of illustrated commentaries in books and popular prints. A distinctly vernacular interpretative tradition will be revealed, one that heavily influenced the earliest English translations of these poems.
Joshua Mostow is Professor in the Department of Asian Studies at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada. He has written widely on premodern Japanese literature and its relations to visual arts. His most recent publication is Hyakunin’shu: Reading the Hundred Poets in Late Edo Japan (University of Hawai‘i Press, 2024).

Parent-Child Self-Compassion (Online 6-Week Program)
UW Center for Child & Family Well-Being is hosting an online 6-week Parent-Child Self-Compassion course, facilitated by Blair Carleton.
Course Description:
Life can be stressful, and as parents, we want to be able to help our children effectively deal with adversity. This six-week adult-child Self-Compassion live online training can help parents/caregivers and their children ages 7-11 develop and practice the vital skills of mindfulness and self-compassion together. For the best learning experience, parents may include only one child in the class.
This parent-child class was developed by child self-compassion expert and trainer, Jamie Lynn Tatera. The program is an adaptation of the adult Mindful Self-Compassion training and is endorsed by the MSC program creators, Christopher Germer, Ph.D. and Kristin Neff, Ph.D. This parent-child adaptation also incorporates playful metaphors and content from the Path to Resilience training.
Numerous research studies show that self-compassion is strongly associated…

This workshop offers a set of questions, provocations, and critical examples to think about the ways that video games, digital texts, even generative AI are technonormative embedded with hegemonic ideals, tropes, and biases about race, gender, sexuality, ability, even technologies themselves. How then might we address and reconfigure these material, cultural, political, and technological norms? How might queering games allow for new, alternative, even radical possibilities, practices, and communities? Drawing on "open access" games, queer and feminist game studies, and popular culture, this presentation offers potential ways to disrupt, play with, and teach in our increasingly algorithmic and ludonarrative world.
Bio: Edmond Y. Chang is an Associate Professor of English at Ohio University. His areas of research include technoculture; race, gender, and sexuality; video games, analog games, LARP, queer game studies; feminist media studies; cultural studies; popular culture; and 20/21C American…

American Democracy and the 2024 Election with Dr. Jake Grumbach
In recent years, American democracy has bent but not broken. What are the threats facing American democracy, and what are its sources of resilience? In this talk, Dr. Jake Grumbach will investigate trends in three areas of American democracy: the rule of law, majority rule, and political equality. Each of these areas is a crucial component for a political system of the people, by the people, and for the people, and each area shows signs of strain. While much of the concern about democracy has been focused on the White House, the U.S. constitutional system gives much of the authority over democracy to the Supreme Court and state governments—and it is in these institutions that he will uncover new and underemphasized evidence on the health of American democracy.

Data cannot be analyzed responsibly without deep knowledge of its social and historical contexts, provenance, and limitations. However, making these aspects of data visible in datasets, metadata, and data-driven publications can be difficult. In this workshop, we will discuss important considerations for responsible data curation, metadata creation, and broader contextualization. We will draw on examples from the Mozilla Foundation-funded Responsible Datasets in Context project, which pairs cultural datasets with rich documentation, data essays, and learning resources. Broadly, we will consider the importance of qualitative and humanistic perspectives and methods in data work.

Tools and builders are a substantial throughline in Jacob Lawrence's work, especially in his later work done while in Seattle. He celebrates the work of the people building the spaces and infrastructure of our collective future, imagines the role of the artist right alongside them, and honors the timeless tools that make this possible—chisels, hammers, hand saws, wood planers.
All this has pushed us to ask, what are our tools here in the gallery? What are we building together? What new tools might further this work?
Shared Tools brings together artists and organizations attempting to imagine otherwise for museums and galleries, offering up several prompts and tools for our community to consider and take on. A moment of reflection and experimentation, this exhibition will turn the gallery into a site for ongoing research into how we embody our mission.

“Security” can refer to many things, from cultural security to environmental security to the safety of our physical well-being. How we understand security, what we value, and what we omit from our security strategies and policies set the stage for how we approach the concept of protection.
The Inuit first self-organized at the international scale to secure their homelands from growing outside interest in Arctic resources. The Arctic Council formed after the collapse of the Soviet Union to enable the eight states with territory north of the Arctic Circle to jointly foster regional environmental security. The national Inuit organization in Canada recently released a food security strategy and also focuses on housing and educational security. And, just this past summer, Russia introduced a new combat icebreaker to its fleet of approximately 40 icebreaker and ice-capable ships reflecting preparations for future conflicts in the region. The many approaches to security reflect differing and even opposing values.…

In 1973 twenty-five young women drowned in a ferry accident on their way to work in factories in Taiwan’s Kaohsiung Export Processing Zone. Their remains were recovered and interred collectively in what came to be called the Twenty-five Maiden Ladies Tomb. Without a husband’s ancestral hall where they would have been laid to rest, the spirits of these unmarried women were considered homeless and possibly vengeful, and so the Maiden Ladies Tomb was viewed as a place to be avoided—especially by young men traveling alone, fearful of encountering a female ghost searching for a husband. Over the years, numerous plans were made to revamp the tomb site; finally, in 2008, at the urging of local feminist communities, the Kaohsiung City government renovated the Twenty-five Maiden Ladies Tomb and…

Fall 2024 Linguistics Colloquium Series - Rachel Bristol: "Negotiating Knowledge Through Conversation"
Fall 2024 Linguistics Colloquium Series
All members of the UW and the public are welcome to attend these events!
Speaker: Rachel Bristol (UW Information School)
Talk Title: "Negotiating Knowledge Through Conversation"
Talk Abstract:
Conversational interaction occurs against a layered backdrop of what speakers know in common and what they do not. Speakers must say enough so that their listeners understand them but must simultaneously avoid telling their listeners things that they already know. Language embedded within interaction affords a variety of tools that enable users to express and negotiate their relative access to and authority over knowledge in various domains. In this talk, I will share findings which describe patterns of epistemic expression in conversation as well as social norms that govern those patterns. These findings draw on qualitative and quantitative analysis of naturalistic conversation and data from speaker judgment studies.

Cherdonna is Kuehner’s movement-based persona, a vehicle for exploring self and gender. How did Kuehner and Rogers hope to shake up the celebrated (yet stagnant?) gender politics of Henrik Ibsen’s play on the American stage?

Book Launch | Reading Across Borders: Afghans, Iranians, and Literary Nationalism | Prof. Aria Fani in conversation with Anna Learn
Prof. Aria Fani discusses the dynamic and interconnected ways Afghans and Iranians invented their modern selves through literature. Contrary to the presumption that literary nationalism in the Global South emerged through contact with Europe alone, Reading Across Borders demonstrates how the cultural forms of Iran and Afghanistan as nation-states arose from their shared Persian heritage and cross-cultural exchange in the twentieth century. In this book, Aria Fani charts the individuals, institutions, and conversations that made this exchange possible, detailing the dynamic and interconnected ways Afghans and Iranians invented their modern selves through new ideas about literature. This monograph illustrates how voluntary and state-funded associations of readers helped formulate and propagate "literature" as a recognizable notion, adapting and changing Persian concepts to fit this modern idea. Focusing on early twentieth-century periodicals with readers in Afghan and Iranian cities and their…

Carving the Divine (2019, 99 min.) is a documentary film that offers a rare look into a 1400-year-old Buddhist woodcarving tradition and the practitioners struggling to preserve its legacy in a rapidly changing Japan. Master Koun Seki, the former apprentice of renowned Busshi, Kourin Saito, takes us on a trip through a guild culture unlike anything existing today in the West. From the growing pains of a novice apprentice, to the entire guild working together as one body to create breathtaking works of art, to the monkish practice of the famed, Grand Master Saito himself, alone on his quest to “leave nothing but great works behind.”
Born and raised in Japan, Yujiro Seki earned a BA in Film from the University of California, Berkeley. He moved to Los Angeles to work as a director of the video department for Intermarket Design. After attaining permanent U.S. residency, he began studying full time in the Cinematography program at UCLA Extension. Upon graduating from that program, he embarked on the journey of…

The Department of Linguistics at the University of Washington is pleased to host the 4th Sound Systems of Latin America (SSLA 4).
SSLA4 brings together scholars to study the sound systems of indigenous languages in Central and South America—regions rich in linguistic diversity but with many languages dormant or endangered. These sound systems are diverse yet under-studied. The conference covers synchronic and diachronic phonetics and phonology of specific dialects and languages, contributions to typological studies, and documentation of languages with undescribed or under-described phonologies.
Many of the scholarly talks presented at the conference will discuss direct collaborations with indigenous communities for language documentation, thus promoting indigenous points of views in the development of the best practices within this field for carrying out research.

“Unruly” Children with Jing Xu
On Thursday, November 14 from 3:30 to 5pm in HUB 337 and online, Dr. Jing Xu will discuss her latest monograph, “Unruly” Children: Historical Fieldnotes and Learning Morality in a Taiwan Village (Cambridge University Press, 2024).
How do humans become moral persons? What about children’s active learning in contrast to parenting? What can children teach us about knowledge-making more broadly? My book explores these questions through re-discovering the late anthropologist Arthur Wolf’s unpublished fieldnotes collected in Taiwan (1958-1960). Designed as an improved replication of the Six Cultures Study of Socialization (SCS), a landmark project in the history of anthropology of childhood, Wolf’s project was the first systematic, ethnographic research on Taiwanese children and ethnic Han children more broadly. Xu analyzed this rare archive of fieldnotes, including interviews, natural observations and psychological tests, from a cognitive anthropology approach distinguished from SCS’ behaviorist paradigm.

On Thursday, November 21 from 3:30 to 5pm in THO 317 and online, Dr. Fang Yu Hu will discuss her latest monograph, Good Wife, Wise Mother: Educating Han Taiwanese Girls Under Japanese Rule (UW Press, 2024).
In 1897, two years after Japan began its half-century rise as an imperial power, it inaugurated an ambitious experiment to make modern Japanese citizens out of Han Taiwanese schoolgirls in its first overseas colony, Taiwan. The goal of this education was to train Taiwanese boys and men to become government clerks and teachers, and girls and women to become “good wives, wise mothers” (ryōsai kenbo). This gendered education was part of dōka, the Japanese assimilation program, as it sought to make everyone in the empire “Japanese” as equals by teaching the Japanese language and imperial ethics with gendered roles.
Using periodicals, textbooks, fictions, and oral histories and interviews, Hu’s book investigates the creation, implementation, and impact of Japanese colonial education in Taiwan by examining…

LECTURE | Aswin Punathambekar, University of Pennsylvania | Voice, Video, and Vernacular: Digital Media and the Politics of Cultural Regions
Register | Campus map | Visitor parking info
Taking stock of the centrality of streaming video and other forms of social media entertainment in Indian public culture, this lecture focuses on the enduring significance of linguistic and cultural regions. With a focus on Tamil digital culture and through a close analysis of key YouTube channels and streaming video shows including Put Chutney and Urban Nakkalites I explore the range of imaginations and understandings of regional languages, cultures, and caste politics that media companies mobilize in their quest for audiences and markets. Drawing connections to other phases of media transition during the 1980s and 1990s and building on a rich strand of scholarship in that refutes the idea of a pre-given linguistic-cultural-geographic bind, I ask how vernacular regions are being imagined, produced, maintained, and contested in an era shaped by digital platforms and majoritarian ideas of nation and citizenship.

In late November 1999, the World Trade Organization (WTO) conference sparked one of the largest political demonstrations in Seattle history. The protests rocked the city for a week and cast a spotlight on issues ranging from environmental protection and labor rights to international diplomacy and free speech.
On the occasion of the 25th anniversary, this exhibit guest curated by University of Washington History Professor James Gregory revisits the “Battle of Seattle” through key artifacts, immersive images, and powerful statements from the people who were present.
From the origins of the WTO to the legacy of these events on activism, policing, and global trade policy, visitors are invited to consider multiple perspectives and reflect on their relationship to democracy—an issue at the heart of the WTO protests of continuing relevance today.

Presenter: Saad Khan, GWSS Ph.D. Candidate
Moderator: Marielle Marcaida, GWSS Ph.D. Candidate
“Nascent moves” investigates the materiality of modes of coming together and collectivizing for pleasure, sociality, and political achievement in the LGBTQ activist scene in Bangladesh. In this colloquium, Khan will introduce the main arguments of his dissertation around themes of archive, loss, desire, failure, and development, and share ethnographic vignettes, particularly focusing on his first chapter: Ephemeral archives ~ Lesbian, Gay, and Hijra publics. He asks: Why do people keep documents of their life as valued objects? How to analyze these valued objects? He builds on queer scholarship to think about research methodologies, the concept of ‘nascent’ and explore how value of queer archives comes from their claim to futurity in the face of violence and erasure.

Autopsy of an Election: What We Lost, What We Won, and How to Fight for the Future
The environment surrounding the Biden and Trump campaigns revealed that we are living in an anxious and confusing time in politics. The past year of political upheaval has thrust into the spotlight long simmering debates about the vulnerable nature of democracy, the perils of money, and the malleability of the rule of law. How should we make sense of this last presidential election? Is political violence increasing? Who are the winners and losers? Ahead of the presidential inauguration, Professor Francis will reflect on the lessons of the 2024 election and will point to possibilities to reimagine a more just future.
