In Plain Sight
This museum-wide exhibition engages artists whose work addresses narratives, communities, and histories that are typically hidden or invisible in our public space. The presenting artists approach the exhibition’s theme from a range of directions, varying across all media as well as aesthetic and conceptual contexts. Works encompass deliberately activist endeavors; the unpacking of individual histories excluded due to race, ethnicity, or class; explorations of coded language for protection, secrecy, or both; the illumination of invisible or covert systems of labor, exploitation, and capitalist control; and translation through surreal, oblique, or fantastical frameworks.

This interdisciplinary program is a gathering for all those involved in the various phases of urban restoration projects, providing an opportunity to discuss some of the unique challenges and strategies involved in the planning, design, construction and care of restoration projects within high density urban areas. Presenters will focus on challenges and opportunities that arise when managed natural areas are located in densely populated areas with many built environment interfaces, broadly varied stakeholders and multiple land uses.
This year’s program focus on native plant selection, use and stewardship; traditional ecological knowledge and management practices; and fine tuning native plant care practices to better meet the functions and challenges of urban natural area plantings. Attendees will learn about new findings and approaches and hear about case studies with actionable takeaways that can be implemented in their own work.

Landscape Architecture involves design thinking and practice in the making and sustaining of our built environments. It serves to engage the wants, needs, and aspirations of people and communities while systematically seeking to improve the functions and qualities of the natural world. It encompasses a broad spectrum of practices from design of streetscapes to restoration of habitats and ecosystems.
Landscape architects are, in a sense, architects of the landscape–the landscape that encompasses both natural and social realms, urbanity and wilderness, land, water and air. They design not only for people and communities, but for plants and animals, to support social and natural processes, and to protect human and environmental assets.

A History of Computing and Automation
Kjeld Schmidt, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark, and University of Siegen, Germany, Abstract
Automation is nothing new. Human kind learned, millennia ago, to exploit causal processes such as cooking meat and plants by controlled use of fire, the brewing of beer and wine and cheese by controlled fermentation, the making of ceramic vessels and metal tools by exposing minerals to high temperatures, etc. They were ‘automatic’ in as much as the underlying processes were naturally occurring processes; they would take place spontaneously, without human intervention. The key issue with these technologies then was to learn to control that the underlying natural processes were maintained within certain boundary conditions.
Later, automatic processes of a rather different kind emerged; they are ‘artificial’ in that they do not occur…

Nature & Health Talks: Designing for Health in the Informal Amphibious Community, Iquitos with Leann Andrews, ND, PhD & Coco Alarcón, PhD Student
Abstract: Peru has significantly increased mining and oil extraction in the last decade, degrading Amazon Rainforest ecosystems and indigenous livelihoods, interrupting local to global climate regulation, and resulting in rapid jungle-to-city migration with ultimately 90,000+ people living in informal "amphibious" communities floating in the floodplain borders of the jungle city. These indigenous migrants struggle adapting from nature rich lifestyles to the harsh urban slums, manifesting in a multitude of physical, mental, social and environmental health issues. Leann Andrews and Coco Alarcón will discuss InterACTION Labs: Iquitos, a transdisciplinary action research program that fuses scientific, indigenous and professional knowledge to design landscape architecture interventions with an informal amphibious community in Iquitos, Peru. They will share preliminary human and ecological health impacts of the designs, and discuss implications to One Health, Planetary Health, diseases of poverty, climate change r…

Psychology Colloquium with Jennifer Forsyth, PhD
Jennifer Forsyth, PhD, Clinical Instructor, Department of Psychiatry & Biobehavioral Sciences, UCLA, Schizophrenia: Finding the Path from Genes to Complex Syndrome
Schizophrenia is a complex syndrome associated with diverse clinical, cognitive, and neurobiological features that can vary substantially from one patient to the next. Identifying the core mechanisms underlying this syndrome and improving patient outcomes has been a major challenge. In this talk, Dr. Forsyth will present her work using a pharmacological probe in humans to examine one compelling etiologic model of schizophrenia, the NMDA receptor dysfunction model. She will then discuss her work using functional genomics to systematically examine which aspects of brain development are affected by genetic risk for schizophrenia and related disorders. Finally, she will present initial evidence suggesting that schizophrenia may be better conceptualized as a cluster of syndromes, with related but dissociable etiologies.

Since 1945, the Korean peninsula has been divided into South and North Korea. Many families have lived for several decades without knowing whether or not their children or parents or siblings are still alive in either North or South Korea. Regardless of the method of separation, it is an issue persistent today and is more common than many realize. By better understanding the current reunification progress, we can work together toward raising awareness across different communities. We invite you to come listen to our guest speaker, Julie Kang from NUAC and the Korean American Coalition and professor Wang Hwi Lee from the department of political science at Ajou University in Suwon, South Korea to talk about the current state of reunification.

He became a government whistleblower in 2018 when, with the assistance of Government Accountability Project, he, along with his colleague Dr. Pamela McPherson, raised the alarm to the DHS Inspector General and Congress the risk of grave, imminent harm to children caused by the Trump administration’s expanded use of family detention under its “zero-tolerance” immigration policy. After witnessing substandard and dangerously lax medical care at the ICE facilities they were charged with inspecting, Drs. Allen and MacPherson stated that they were ethically compelled to “speak out against injustice…

What happens after death? How should the living care for the dead? How do beliefs about the gods and the afterlife shape different approaches to death and burial? In this exciting set of lectures, four UW historians examine the relationship between the living and the dead in Ancient Rome and Iran and among the Aztecs and the Chinese.
Skeletons and Dining Couches: Eating and Dying in the Roman Empire
Mira Green, Lecturer, History
From stuffed dormice to recreational vomiting, modern ideas about ancient Roman eating practices fall back on images of decadent excess, set against a backdrop of violence and disease. But what does the evidence say about how the ancient Romans actually lived?

This event is part of the EarthLab Lunch & Learn Series: Collaborating Across Difference. Please RSVP so we know how much lunch to order.
About this event:
In 2018, the Skagit Climate Science Consortium (SC2) and the Museum of Northwest Art in La Conner, Washington, co-hosted Surge, an art exhibit designed to draw attention to climate change and its effects on Northwest ecosystems and human communities. The exhibit brought artists together with biologists, geologists, and other scientists to present the public with new perspectives on issues affecting the Skagit River watershed, including flooding, forest fire, sea level rise, and storm surge.
As one of the art-science teams in the exhibit, Seattle artist Rachel Lodge and UW forest scientist Dave Peterson collaborated on an 8-minute, hand-drawn animation, “Inhale/Exhale,” exploring the flow of carbon in forests and the increased incidence of forest fire as a result of climate change. Lodge and Peterson navigated differences in their respective…

Lecture: "Writ large: Towards a grammar of coordinative artifacts," Kjeld Schmidt
Please join Human Centered Design & Engineering for a special event with the Department's Winter 2020 Department's Distinguished Speaker.
A History of Computing and Automation
Kjeld Schmidt, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark, and University of Siegen, Germany, Abstract
Enter a modern workplace, look around and look carefully, and you will notice a profusion of inscriptions of the most modest and unassuming kind. We are not here primarily referring to the mountains of text produced and perused as part of everyday work (such as letters, emails, notes, reports, contracts), which naturally typically are at the center of practitioners’ attention, but to an assortment of inconspicuous and mundane semiotic artifacts, such as fault report forms, folders, binder labels, part routing schemes, kanban cards, identification codes, and so on that have been specially designed to facilitate the coordination and integration of cooperative work activities. We call this vast and heterogeneous family of specialized…

Exciton polarons in two-dimensional hybrid metal-halide perovskites
While polarons --- charges bound to a lattice deformation induced by electron-phonon coupling --- are primary photoexcitations at room temperature in bulk metal-halide hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites (HOIP), excitons --- Coulomb-bound electron-hole pairs --- are the stable quasi-particles in their two-dimensional (2D) analogues. Here we address the fundamental question: are polaronic effects consequential for excitons in 2D-HIOPs? Based on our recent work, we argue that polaronic effects are manifested intrinsically in the exciton spectral structure, which is comprised of multiple non-degenerate resonances with constant inter-peak energy spacing. We highlight measurements of population and dephasing dynamics that point to the apparently deterministic role of polaronic effects in excitonic properties. We contend that an interplay of long-range and short-range exciton-lattice couplings give rise to exciton polarons, a character that fun…

Friends of the Libraries Annual Lecture with Shawn Wong
'No-No Boy': The Story of How a Novel Goes From 1,500 Copies Sold to 158,000 Copies
In the early 1970s, Shawn Wong and group of young Asian American writers discovered the novel, "No-No Boy" by John Okada, in a used bookstore for fifty cents. Originally published in 1957, it had not sold out 15 years later. No one had read it and the author had died believing his novel was rejected and forgotten. Wong will share the rediscovery story of "No-No Boy" — how young Asian American writers urged a new audience to recognize the book’s importance and launched its journey from obscurity to canonical work in Asian American literature.

Read about the entire lecture series on the registration website or at the link below.
Since the 1970s, Barbara Bloom has utilized photography, installation, and book-making to arrange spaces in which themes can echo and ideas can unfold. Likening her approach to that of a novelist, she is less concerned with individual objects than with the relationships that she creates between them through arrangement, occlusion, reference, and apparent hierarchies of value. Born in Los Angeles in 1951, Bloom is affiliated with a group of artists referred to as The Pictures Generation. Her work has been celebrated around the world, including exhibitions at: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; The Museum of Modern Art, New York; Museum Boijmans van Beuningen, Rotterdam; Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam; Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; the Venice Biennale;…

The Harry Bridges Center is excited to invite Michele Cadigan, Sociology, for a Labor Studies Workshare of their paper titled, “Cannabis-Infused Dreams: Worker-Owner Relationships in an Emerging, Morally Contested Industry."
Abstract: Economic sociologists have revealed that laborers can often work in ways that run counter-productive to the overall success of the company. Individuals work to transform their labor and market practices in ways that align with their own values and standards. However, to what extent do workers have control over market practices? And what role to employers play in this process? Drawing on 45 interviews with store owners and retail staff at 17 cannabis retail stores in Seattle and 107 hours of observation at three different pot shops, I find that workers play a central role in shaping the industry despite early efforts from employers to control how and what is bought and sold in their stores. Employers reported restructuring their organizations to allow workers a greater amount…

Thinking Historically in Sultanate Deccan: The Tārīkh-i Firishta - Emma Flatt
Thinking Historically in Sultanate Deccan: The Tārīkh-i Firishta
Lecture by Emma Flatt (UNC-Chapel Hill)
Recent work on the sixteenth century Deccan has emphasized the extent to which the past, particularly the built heritage of earlier rulers, constituted a useful resource for constructing the present. Focusing on one of the most well-known but under-analysed Persian historical chronicles, the Tārīkh-i Firishta, this paper will consider to what extent and in which ways this historian considered the past and historical writing to constitute a useful resource for the exigencies of the present.
How did the contemporary political, religious and cultural complexities of Firishta’s own time affect his understanding of the past? Which events, individuals and places seemed to loom largest in historical memory? How did the norms of Persian historiographical writing constrain Indo-Persian writers like Firishta in their presentation of the past? How did he deal with the divergent dating systems, calendars,…

Looking for a Winter activity for those short days in Seattle?
Why not consider lichens as an alternative? They grow on headstones and trees in cemeteries and can tell us about air quality and the make-up of gravestones. Cemeteries can take on new meaning as a *fun* place to observe a symbiotic organism made up of a fungus and algae. You will also learn about common lichens found in an urban environment and take home a user-friendly chart that lists lichens found in your neighborhood.
Always wondered about what lichens are and why they are found on your trees and Rhododendrons? Lichens are harmless to your plants and add aesthetic value to trees and shrubs. We can actually use them as indicators of air pollution!
Join Dr. Katherine Glew and the UW Botanic Garden on Saturday, February 1, 2020 at Mount Pleasant Cemetery on Queen Anne Hill to get a head start on learning lichens from your local cemetery. You can enjoy the winter season by looking for lichens rather than staying inside and missing out on…

Acclaimed as one of the finest films ever made, Carl Theodor Dreyer’s silent film, La Passion de Jeanne d’Arc (1928), chronicles the trial of Joan of Arc in the hours leading up to her execution. Actress Renée Falconetti’s haunting face channels the agony and ecstasy of martyrdom in a legendary performance that remains a landmark in the history of cinema. Britain’s celebrated early music vocal ensemble, the Orlando Consort, transports us to Joan’s world, accompanying the film live with a deeply moving soundtrack of sacred and secular music from her lifetime.

This is the primary class of the series Master Pruner courses. It covers basic pruning of ornamental trees and shrubs as well as creative solutions to the overgrown or over-planted garden. The types of pruning cuts are shown and discussed. The concept of the 'pruning budget' is introduced. Plants are divided into three categories according to their natural habits and pruning techniques given for each. Before and after slides of pruning and diagrams will be used to illustrate pruning for size reduction and pruning for definition (thinning). And students will gain insight into the process of yard renovation, where pruning is but one tool in restoring a garden.
This lecture series is designed for those who work in landscape maintenance. Classes last two hours and are held on every other Thursday. Each lecture provides information on tools and techniques for quality pruning with better long-term results and customer satisfaction.
Classes held in partnership with PlantAmnesty.

The Erasure of Kashmir’s Autonomy and the Myth of Gender Discrimination
Lecture by Ather Zia (University of Northern Colorado)
The autonomy of the Muslim majority Indian Occupied Kashmir was annulled without consent on August 5, 2019. Since then the region has been under communication lockdown and curfews, resulting in a humanitarian crisis. The right-wing Hindu supremacist government in India held gender discrimination in Kashmir as one of the foremost reasons for the removal of the region's autonomy. In the Indian narrative, the framing that Kashmir's autonomy allowed for gender injustice was made to appear as a natural outcome of the stereotype of Kashmiri patriarchy which is portrayed as violent and cracking down on women. This paper will analyze the Supreme Court case in India which was made pivotal in framing the gender discrimination angle in the removal of autonomy. At the same time, it will illustrate how the gender discrimination angle went unchallenged because it fit the established stereotype…

Though it seems there isn't much to do in the garden over winter, dormant season tasks can set the stage for a good gardening year. When weather keeps us indoors, we can plan ahead for tasks and garden changes to be done in the months ahead. When the weather is nice enough to spend time outdoors, it can be amazing how much we can actually take care of now. This session will cover dormant season pruning and transplanting for specific plant types, winter weeding and garden care, best tools and practices, and planning ahead for the new growing season.
Cost: $28

About this series:
Plants and gardens don't live by the written calendar, but by the seasonal cycles and cues of changes in daylight, temperature, and moisture. When gardeners become acquainted with the seasonal rhythms and life cycles in the garden, and learn to work in sync with nature, caring for the garden becomes more of a process and less of a battle with potential garden enemies.

Population Research Discovery Seminars
Intergenerational Educational Mobility among Mexican Americans Across the 20th Century , Speaker: Jennifer Van Hook, Department of of Sociology and Demography, Pennsylvania State University
Concerns about the integration of Mexican-Americans have been amplified by the phenomenon of third generation delay, whereby the 3rd-or-higher generation has similar or lower educational attainment than the 2nd generation in analyses of cross-sectional data. Using unique longitudinal data, however, we find no evidence of third generation delay. Although Mexican-Americans still experience disadvantages, the educational attainment of third-generation Mexican-Americans increased dramatically and consistently across generations. The third-generation delay pattern seen in cross-sectional analyses stems in large part from historical disadvantages in starting points and educational mobility. Finally, our results reveal dramatic improvements in Mexican-American educational…

Through science-based exploration and outdoor play preschoolers and their caregivers will experience the UW Botanic Gardens using their senses. Each class begins with an opportunity to explore several learning stations based on the week's theme where children can practice fine motor skills, sensory investigation, creativity, and pre-math and literacy skills. Station time is followed by an opening circle and hike where the group will play games, listen to a story and further explore the weekly theme. Family Nature Class is a great way to get outside with your preschooler, foster curiosity and explore the natural world.

In Plain Sight
This museum-wide exhibition engages artists whose work addresses narratives, communities, and histories that are typically hidden or invisible in our public space. The presenting artists approach the exhibition’s theme from a range of directions, varying across all media as well as aesthetic and conceptual contexts. Works encompass deliberately activist endeavors; the unpacking of individual histories excluded due to race, ethnicity, or class; explorations of coded language for protection, secrecy, or both; the illumination of invisible or covert systems of labor, exploitation, and capitalist control; and translation through surreal, oblique, or fantastical frameworks.

4pm Seminar with reception following.
Kakani Katija, Principal Engineer at Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute, continues our A&A Chair's Distinguished Speaker Series with her talk on the ecomechanics of invertebrates and bio-inspired engineering design.
How do organisms live and develop in a turbulent and changing fluid environment, how do fluid interactions impact their ecology, swimming ability, and behavior, and how can we learn from these strategies for application to bio-inspired design?
To address this science theme, her research strives to answer the following questions: What are the tools that we need to study marine organisms and processes in their natural environment? How can we use these tools to inform how systems function, their optimizations (e.g. ecological niches), and how do changes in this system (e.g. morphological and environmental perturbations) impact their ability to function?
From the lessons learned, how can we apply these ideas to technology that furthers explorat…

Can Learning be Fair?: Explicit Acknowledgment of Structural Oppression as a Teaching Tool, Speaker: Jessica Cleeves, Center for Science and Mathematics Education, University of Utah
Traditional diversity classes engage students in self-reflection about identity and experience, often around ideas like race, class, gender, ableism, and heteronormativity. These curricula typically explore complex problems deeply, but seldom discuss practical steps toward solutions. This problem-centric focus can leave individual students feeling helpless, overwhelmed, and/or guilty to the point of emotional overload. A creative new approach to impactful instruction about equity situates conversations about access and power within a context of enactable inclusive pedagogical practices.
In this talk, Jessica Cleeves describes the Learning Assistant (LA) pedagogy course she developed for the University of Utah's Center for Science and Mathematics Education. The course connects evidence-based best practice for small group…
