Oaxaca, Mexico pre-fall 2011 Exploration Seminar - Application deadline extended until Monday, March 14
This program enables you to earn 5 fall quarter graduate elective credits (BCULST/BPOLST 598) before the quarter event starts! Titled "Social Justice, Labor, and the Economy in Mexico," this program examines issues of Mexican development, economics, trade, and labor. Taking advantage of our location, this course assesses the causes and consequences of the 2006 uprising that began with teacher demonstrations in the center of Oaxaca City, and quickly turned into a mass movement. We review the recent history and politics of Mexico and place the Oaxacan protests within the context of issues related to globalization.
Oaxaca-bound students will be meet at UW Bothell for a minimum of three days, beginning August 25, in order to gain important perspectives, and we will be in Mexico from August 29-September 22. While we intend spend the majority of our time in Oaxaca, we are also looking at side-trips to Puebla, Mexico City, and/or Chiapas.

Cultural Studies Student Co-Curates Gallery Event
Ken Matsudaira is co-curating "Cultural Activism in a Time of Crisis" with art historian and critic, Susan Platt. The event will be held at The M. Rosetta Hunter Art Gallery at Seattle Central Community College, April 4 through May 6, 2011.
Cultural Activism in a Time of Crisis presents a range of issues from opposition to war, terrorism, racism, and colonialism in socially engaged painting, printmaking, sculpture, and video. The artists have been selected from Susan Noyes Platt's recently published book Art and Politics Now, Cultural Activism in a Time of Crisis, Midmarch Arts Press, 2011.(www.artandpoliticsnow.com). The exhibition reveals the power that artists have to make a difference when they choose to thoughtfully engage with the concerns of the world.

Fellowships and Funding
Abe Osheroff & Gunnel Clark Endowed Human Rights Fund for Students
The Abe Osheroff and Gunnel Clark Fund provides financial resources for undergraduate and graduate students to support human rights projects that promote social change through direct action, whether in the United States or abroad. The awards are administered by the UW Center for Human Rights, and can provide funds up to $1,500. The number of awards and amounts will vary depending on the number and quality of applications. Preference will be given to projects that demonstrate feasibility, sustainability, and partnership, and that reflect the legacy of Abe Osheroff, in particular his insistence on accountability for the role of our own institutions (including government, private sector entities, and the university itself) in promoting and protecting human rights. Deadline: Friday, March 25
All undergraduate and graduate students at the University of Washington (Bothell, Seattle, Tacoma) are eligible to apply. The Jennifer Caldwell Fund in Human Rights has been established to make financial support available to UW students who are pursuing hands-on work on topic areas that Jen cared deeply about (such as fair trade, human rights, women's rights), particularly if they are interested in doing this in an international context. Deadline: Mar 25
These one-quarter awards are intended to give graduate students an opportunity to develop a specific project focused on teaching and learning at the college and university level (students may not use the fellowship to teach a course they have already developed). Projects are proposed by students, who find faculty Teaching Mentors, either from UW or from a nearby community college, college, or university to collaborate with them in their projects. The award will be made for a single quarter during the 2011-12 academic year (students are strongly encouraged to use their fellowship and work on their project during Winter Quarter 2011, when the required course is given). Deadline: Mar 28, noon (PST)
UW Bothell General Scholarship
Various awards graciously endowed from individuals, organizations, UW Bothell alumni, businesses and associations. All UW Bothell students are eligible and encouraged to apply. Only one application is required to be considered for all available scholarships. Deadline: Mar 31
UW Simpson Center for the Humanities Spring 2011 Call for Proposal Funding
The Simpson Center for the Humanities seeks to support innovative crossdisciplinary research and to integrate that research with teaching at the graduate level and programs designed to engage larger publics. We sponsor a wide range of activities, including collaborative research groups, scholarly conferences and symposia, and a fellowship program for UW faculty and doctoral students. We also support public programs in the humanities, which we construe broadly to include projects and topics of humanistic interest in the social sciences, sciences, professions, and arts. The main purpose of our support is not to provide permanent funding for ongoing programs but, rather, to assist in the development of new ideas and projects. Deadline: April 20
