Arboretum Lichens
Lichens grow on trees, shrubs and rocks in botanic gardens and can tell us about air quality and the make-up of plants and geology. Botanic gardens 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.
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 at the Washington Park Arboretum to get a head start on learning lichens from one of Seattle’s botanic gardens. You can enjoy the late winter/early spring season by looking for lichens, rather than staying inside and missing out on the excitement of being outside!
Cost: $45

Earl and Edna Stice Lecturer in Social Science: "Fighting Fascism with Intersex Justice," presented by Sean Saifa Wall
Recent years have seen the proliferation of cop cities, limits on free speech and gutting of governmental safety nets.

Getting into the Weeds: Sorting Out the Details of Soil Conditions & Management Considerations (online)
Cost: $37.50
Register Now, Financial aid slots available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Class 4 of 6. Building up from the previous classes, we will review soil disturbance and resulting stewardship challenges commonly encountered at restoration sites such as former agricultural land, urban fill, construction sites, brownfields, and degraded natural areas. We will review how to assess for common soil disturbances as well as historical and ecological site conditions for their soil management plans. Reasons and resources will be reviewed for more technical soil testing through consultants and labs. Understanding soils – what they are, how they function, how they degrade, and how to steward them back to health – empowers restoration professionals to design and implement more resilient and self-sustaining ecosystem restoration projects. This series of classes will build from the ground up a holistic knowledge of soils that will enable students to understand how and when to choose soil stewardship…

VIRTUAL LECTURE | Embers of Pan-Africanism: Nkrumahist Intellectuals and Decolonization, 1960-1980
Embers of Pan-Africanism examines Ghanaian intellectuals who worked to transform and radicalize the study of Africa and its diaspora in academic and intellectual centers around the Atlantic. Through a study of their scholarly trajectories, this project explores how Kwame Nkrumah’s overthrow affected the trajectory of Nkrumahism, a strand of Pan-Africanism and an ideology for African decolonization that emphasized continental and diasporic unity. In this way, I highlight why and how anti-colonial and decolonial ideas emerge as well as how insurgent ideas were sustained after the collapse of a radical government during a period of rapid decolonization from the 1960s to the 1980s. I argue that the coup that deposed Nkrumah did not herald a simple period of decline and stagnation for radical Ghanaian thinkers. Instead, it marked a moment of grassroots transformation and revolution, ushering in a dawn of innovative political and academic initiatives in Africa and the Americas.

GWSS Winter Colloquium: "'The coffee that wakes you up': The Silingan Coffee mothers’ anti-drug violence advocacy," Presented by Marielle Marcaida
Presenter: Marielle Marcaida, PhD Student, GWSS, Moderator: Paul Jason Perez, PhD Student, iSchool
This study focuses on the embodied labor of the employees of Silingan Coffee, a café that caters to providing livelihood support to family members of extra-judicial violence, mostly mothers, widows, and sisters who lost their loved ones in the Philippine drug war.
The advocacy-driven cafe centers on telling stories of the drug war from the perspectives of the victims. Through the storytelling narratives of the women of Silingan Coffee, Marcaida examines their articulation of what it means to be a good “neighbor,” a central tenet to their human rights advocacy.
The ”neighbor” has been a subject long existent and discussed in religious thought and political philosophy. In the context of the mothers’ activism under the Philippine drug war, she analyzes how the “neighbor” serves as a metaphor of the humanitarian subject shaping political and social relations post-citizenship.
This research was funded by the…

HISTORY LECTURE SERIES | The Columbia: Where the Internet Lives | Margaret O'Mara
This final talk in the series brings us back to the Pacific Northwest and the intertwined human and natural histories of the Columbia River. An artery of indigenous commerce, a nexus of the fur trade, a power source for war work, and a water source for industrial-scale agriculture, the mighty Columbia is now home to one of the world’s most notable concentrations of data centers. These enormous facilities, owned and operated by the world’s largest technology companies, are the physical backbone that make cloud computing, social networking, and AI possible. Rooting the story of these centers in a longer history of the river and its human uses not only shows the material and political dynamics of today’s digital economy but also illuminates the connective tissue linking one era of American capitalism to the next.

LECTURE | Navyug Gill (William Paterson University) | Global History and the Emergence of the Peasant in Colonial Panjab
One of the most durable figures in modern history, the peasant has long been a site of intense intellectual and political debate. Yet underlying much of this literature is the assumption that peasants simply existed everywhere, a general if not generic group, traced backward from modernity to antiquity. In this talk, Navyug Gill explores the landowning peasant and landless laborer as novel political subjects forged in the encounter between colonialism and struggles over culture and capital within Panjabi society. Through a careful interrogation of a disparate archive – settlement reports and legal judgments to labor contracts, vernacular poetry, and family budgets – he challenges the givenness of the peasant by explicating the ideological and material divisions that transformed power in rural Panjabi society. By implicating economic logic with cultural difference, Gill re-thinks the itinerary of global political economy alongside alternative possibilities for emancipatory futures.

CEI Interdisciplinary Seminar: Jodie Lutkenhaus - Texas A&M
Organic Batteries for a More Sustainable Future, Cobalt, nickel, and lithium are essential ingredients in today’s lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), but their continued use presents economic, ethical, and environmental challenges. Society must now begin to consider the implications of a LIB’s full life cycle, including the carbon footprint, the economic and environmental costs, and material access. These challenges motivate the case for degradable or recyclable batteries sourced from earth-abundant materials whose life cycle bears minimal impact on the environment. This presentation considers organic polymer-based batteries, which have the potential to address many of these issues. Redox-active polymers form the positive and negative electrodes, storing charge through a reversible redox mechanism. We demonstrate how these polymer electrodes can be degraded on command or else recycled, offering the promise of a circular platform free of critical elements.

Multisensory Predator Recognition and Defense Behavior, Jessleen Kanwal, Ph.D. Postdoctoral Fellow, Department of Biology and Biological Engineering, California Institute of Technology, Survival in complex ecosystems requires animals to rapidly detect and respond to threats by integrating sensory cues across multiple modalities. Yet, how nervous systems combine interspecies sensory information to guide defensive decision-making behaviors remains poorly understood. Here, we investigate how the rove beetle Dalotia coriaria detects and responds to predatory ants using multisensory cues. Dalotia selectively flexes its abdomen to release defensive chemicals, an easily quantifiable readout of threat recognition. To dissect the sensory drivers of this response, we reconstituted predator encounters in freely moving and tethered beetles on a spherical treadmill. Analysis of Dalotia’s spatial and temporal flexing and locomotor response dynamics reveals that volatile ant-derived cues mediate fleeing, while a…

Science in Medicine Lecture Series: Chet Moritz, PhD
Lecture Title:
“Neurotechnology to promote long-term recovery after brain and spinal cord injury”
Abstract:
Neuroprosthetic devices have tremendous potential to improve quality of life after brain and spinal cord injury. Neuroprostheses that record and stimulate neural activity have progressed from animal studies to human trials, including the approach of using activity recorded from the brain to control Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) and epidural spinal stimulation and restore movement to paralyzed muscles. Another promising method for restoring movement and enhancing rehabilitation is direct stimulation of the spinal cord. Both transcutaneous and epidural stimulation can activate neural circuits distal to an injury, leading to both direct muscle contraction or facilitating long-term neuroplasticity, and recovery that restores volitional control of movement for months after the stimulation is discontinued. Optogenetic stimulation of the spinal cord is another promising approach to achieve specific…

'Self-Destructive Policy Seeking and Self-Benefiting Shirking', with Ko Maeda, University of North Texas
Politicians and political parties make promises during electoral campaigns. However, achieving a policy goal can sometimes hurt them electorally, and a party can be better off not pursuing what its supporters want. This study empirically demonstrates that Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party has been gaining an electoral advantage by not achieving its stated goal of revising the constitution.

Forest Bathing (in-person)
Cost: $25
Advance registration required.
Join UW Botanic Gardens and Cascadia Forest Therapy for a unique forest bathing opportunity in the Washington Park Arboretum. Forest bathing (or shinrin-yoku) has been popular in Japan for decades and is gaining momentum in the US.

Understanding Caste on Campus
In 2023, the Seattle City Council made history by passing the nation’s first law to recognize caste as a protected class under anti-discrimination protections in employment, public spaces, housing, and contracting. This landmark decision prompts critical questions for both South Asians and the broader community: What is the caste system? How does it shape our everyday lives?

With increasing migration, caste has evolved into a global phenomenon. The harsh realities of caste inequality and discrimination are not limited to South Asia; they profoundly affect South Asian communities in the diaspora, cutting across nationalities, ethnicities, and religions.

WE Lead Workshop: Networking 101
Join the Women's Entrepreneurial Leadership program (WE Lead) for an afternoon of connection and learning at our Networking 101 Workshop! If you've ever wondered how to get started, or wished you had a guide or practical steps to take as you grow your professional network, this event is for you.
Building a network and support system can be key to overcoming barriers, accessing opportunities, and closing gaps in representation. Research shows that up to 80% of jobs are filled through networking, and women with strong networks are more likely to secure promotions, new clients, or investment for their ventures. As business leader Sallie Krawcheck said, “Networking has been described as the number one unwritten rule of success in business. Who you know really impacts what you know.”
Our workshop will begin with a fireside chat featuring Cheryl Delostrinos (Unify Consulting), Winona Kantamaneni (University of Washington), and Bina Shukla (Ahana Foundation), who will share their personal networking journeys and…

A Scheme to Forget, a Demand to Remember: The Century-Long Battle Over the Memory of the Tulsa Race Massacre
Tulsa’s Greenwood neighborhood was an ascendant black business district when it was burned to the ground by a white mob in 1921. Since the days after the destruction, people in power have been trying to erase the memory of the Tulsa Race Massacre, going so far as to rip pages from the historical record to hide what unfolded. This purposeful forgetting continues today, as state governments in Oklahoma and elsewhere limit what histories can be taught to children in schools. But all along black Tulsans have provided their own historical ledger, through oral histories, legal battles, and the black press. They demand that the city and the nation remember. In his lecture, Built From the Fire author Victor Luckerson will explore this century-long battle over the “terrain of the mind” in Tulsa. His talk will explore why the story of Greenwood has been wiped from the American consciousness for so long, and the ongoing efforts by black Tulsans to make that legacy more widely known.

The Last Ottoman Palace: Yıldız and Its Many Makers
"The Last Ottoman Palace: Yıldız and Its Many Makers"
Deniz Türker, Rutgers University
Moderated by Reşat Kasaba
This talk presents the history of Yıldız Palace, the last and largest imperial residential complex of the Ottoman Empire. While the palace today exists in fragments, nearly erased from the city’s urban memory, it once stood as a global city in miniature—a vibrant hub at the center of the empire’s vast bureaucracy. Türker traces the evolution of Yıldız Palace from its beginnings as a rural estate for Ottoman queen mothers to its transformation into the heart of imperial governance between 1795 and 1909. Though the palace belonged to the elite realm of the sultans, its development was deeply intertwined with Istanbul’s urban history and broader shifts in empire-building, diplomacy, reform, and public life. Drawing on rich archival research from the palace’s imperial library, Türker explores how Yıldız was not only an expression of Ottoman imperial identity but also a product of a rapidly…

LECTURE | Bharat Venkat (UCLA) | Can the Subaltern Sweat? Race, Climate Change, and Inequality
Colonial-era systems of forced labor, ranging from indenture to outright slavery, were central to the development of contemporary understandings of human thermal physiology. The subaltern laborer’s body became a crucial site for understanding the effects of heat on different kinds of racialized bodies, as a means of both maximizing labor extraction and consolidating social and political regimes organized around the perceived vulnerability and susceptibility of different kinds of bodies to heat. Focusing on thermal inequality, I suggest, provides a way for rethinking subaltern studies via climate change, both historically and in the present. In a world where someone must bear the heat, divisions of both labor and laborers have become a primary means through which our collective thermal burden is unequally and unjustly allocated.

Tanya Sheehan: Public Art, Public Health – Jacob Lawrence and the Murals of Harlem Hospital (2025 Kollar Lecture in American Art)
Join us for this year’s Kollar Lecture in American Art featuring Colby College’s Tanya Sheehan. This lecture series is made possible by the Allan and Mary Kollar Endowed Chair in American Art History.
Public Art, Public Health: Jacob Lawrence and the Murals of Harlem Hospital
When Jacob Lawrence first painted the free clinic of Harlem Hospital in 1937, Harlem’s largest public healthcare facility was teaming with artists who were hired by the federal government and working under the supervision of Lawrence’s art teacher and mentor, Charles Alston. Although Lawrence was too young to work officially on Alston’s team, significant connections to the murals can be found in his artwork, in the murals themselves, and in their shared participation in a discourse on race, medicine, and health in urban America. In exploring these connections, this talk shows how Black life could and could not be represented on the walls of Harlem Hospital, and how a commitment to the publicness of Black care took shape in Lawrence’s…

Ronald K. Brown/EVIDENCE
Founded by Ronald K. Brown, EVIDENCE focuses on the seamless integration of traditional African dance with contemporary choreography and spoken word.
Brown uses movement as a way to reinforce the importance of community in African American culture and to acquaint audiences with the beauty of traditional African forms and rhythms. The program includes Open Door, a journey into Afro Cuban dance forms with music by Arturo O’Farrill’s Afro Latin Jazz Ensemble; the electrifying Upside Down; and The Equality of Night and Day, a poetic work examining concepts of balance and equity.
"His dances concern our struggle to find love and connection, where compassion alone can ease the grueling physical journey of life." — The Washington Post.
