on Anthropologically Connected
The program in Environmental Anthropology considers human-environment interactions across the full range of sociocultural variation, and from the earliest human societies to the contemporary global system. While environmental problems are widely recognized as matters of great public and scholarly concern, far more attention has been focused on physical and biological dimensions of these problems than on social, cultural, and historical dimensions. A primary aim of EA is to redress this imbalance. Although medical anthropology is not a separate program at the University of Washington, a rich array of resources are available to support those who wish to concentrate in medical anthropology at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. The Department of Anthropology at the University of Washington includes four medical anthropologists among its regular full-time faculty. Three more medical anthropologists affiliated with the Department of Anthropology are located in the School of Nursing. The Museology Program is designed to provide the generalized training, knowledge, and skills necessary to pursue a professional career in museum work. The program is directed toward the training of a broad range of museum professionals interested in curation and management of collections in anthropology as well as in interpretive programs and museum administration. Students enrolled in the Museology Program have access to a wide range of opportunities for gaining practical experience at the cooperating institutions including, in addition to the Burke Museum, the Seattle Art Museum, the Museum of History and Industry, the Wing Luke Asian Museum, and the Nordic Heritage Museum. The Program on Climate Change is an interdisciplinary program in climate, climate change and climate impacts that integrates all climate change activities at the University of Washington and attacks scientific questions of climate variability in a coordinated way across the disciplines. It coordinates research and teaching among colleges, departments, and research units through seminars, summer institutes, graduate student fellowships, undergraduate research, and research seed-grants, all of which focus on global and regional aspects of climate change. The Program on Africa is an umbrella organization to develop, co-ordinate, and disseminate information about inter-disciplinary, cross-college, Africa-related activities on campus. Recently the Program on Africa ran a Health, Healing & the Arts in Africa year-long project involving lectures, roundtables, cultural events and courses, focusing on the integrated relationship of Africa's physical health to various aspects of African life. As part of this project, the Program will be creating a curriculum on Health, Healing &the Arts in Africa for Middle and High School teachers in Western Washington. It has also hosted a literary contest for Western Washington high school students of African descent, including African Americans in an effort to identify new young literary voices within our local high schools. The School of Public Health and Community Medicine (SPHCM) offers an interdisciplinary graduate program in international health designed for health professionals, administrators, and policy analysts who intend to devote a significant part of their careers to improving health in developing countries. The program focuses on community health and primary health care systems of the developing world. The study of planning, management, and evaluation of health care systems is an integral part of the academic program. American Indian Studies Center The American Indian Studies Center not only provides a focus group of faculty, students, and relevant governmental and community organizations to conduct research of interest to the scholarly and Native American community but also offers a coordinated means to recruit and retain both Native American faculty and students to the University of Washington. Since its creation, the Center has helped foster a more than 400% increase in the number of Native American students attending the University. The American Indian Studies Center now holds annual meetings with Washington State's Native American community and tribal leaders to review higher education issues and opportunities of mutual interest. Native Voices (involving the Center for Indigenous Media) has produce award winning Native American documentaries for over 10 years. The UW-Restoration
Ecology Network serves as a regional center to integrate student,
faculty and community interests in ecological restoration and conservation.
The core of the Network's mission is to advance higher education
in restoration while helping the Pacific Northwest region meet
the growing needs and challenges of ecological restoration. This
comes at a crucial time for the Pacific Northwest, as it struggles
to cope with the conservation of endangered species and natural
landscapes in the face of rapid human population growth and urbanization.
Nutrition Assessment Education Project The Nutrition
Assessment Education Project seeks to improve the health of the
people of Washington State
by building the capacity of local health jurisdictions to reduce
nutritional risk and promote optimal nutritional health of community
members. Its
major goals are: (a) to provide knowledge, skills, tools and
resources that local nutrition professionals and local health assessment
coordinators can use to do community nutrition assessment; (b) to
promote the inclusion of nutritional issues in local health assessments;
(c)
to establish ongoing collaboration between local health assessment
coordinators and nutritionists and state and local nutrition assessment
efforts.
The Quaternary Research Center (QRC) fosters interdisciplinary research on the last two million years of the global environment: a time which encompasses massive, abrupt changes of climate, sea level, global biota and ice extent, as well the evolution of humans and the advent of civilization. It studies the processes responsible for environmental change to better understand how the Earth sustains humanity and other communities, and to better prepare for future environmental changes. A major goal of the Center is to apply of Quaternary studies to contemporary environmental problems that will help predict consequences of policy decisions. Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies The Jackson School combines the social sciences, humanities, and professional fields in order to forge disciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches to the understanding of our increasingly interconnected globe. Its outreach efforts - particularly through the Program in African Studies, the Canadian Studies Center, the East Asian Resource Center, the Center for West European Studies, the Middle East Center, the Russian, East European, and Central Asian Studies Center, and Southeast Asian Center - emphasize curriculum development in the schools as well as, more generally, public lectures and teacher workshops. Particularly noteworthy, in this regard, in the East Asian Resource Center. The East Asia Resource Center provides a wide range of outreach programming and services for K-12 educators. The purpose of the Resource Center is to assist educators in expanding and updating their knowledge about China, Japan, and Korea; to help them identify effective resources and strategies for teaching about these countries; and to develop quality curriculum materials. The diverse offerings of the Resource Center for K-12 educators include one-day workshops, summer institutes, study tours to Asia, a resource collection, volumes of curriculum materials, and a quarterly newsletter. The Resource Center programming strives to bring the expertise of UW faculty and K-12 master teachers in Asian studies to its audiences of educators across the Pacific Northwest. Pacific Northwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit The Pacific Northwest Cooperative Ecosystems Studies Unit (PNW CESU) is a cooperative venture between 12 leading academic institutions in the Pacific Northwest region, one state agency and 7 Federal land management and natural resource research organizations. Management and stewardship of the nation’s public lands and waters requires skillful public service supported by sound science and responsive technical assistance. Complex issues that transcend boundaries make it essential for agencies to work together. The overriding goal of the CESU Network is to improve the scientific base for managing federal lands by providing resource managers with high-quality scientific research, technical assistance, and education. Fertility and Endrocrine Center The Fertility and Endocrine Center (FEC), a subspecialty clinic of the University of Washington Medical Center, offers comprehensive, state-of-the-art assistance for couples with infertility and women with reproductive endocrine problems. It is a specialized outpatient clinic of the University of Washington Medical Center. Established in 1997, the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance is a consortium of the University of Washington Medical Center, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, and Children's Hospital Medical Center. It combines the strengths of its three members to create a premier integrated ambulatory and inpatient cancer program with extensive collaboration among the researchers at each institution. The Burke Museum, Washington state's Museum of Natural and Cultural History, presents a wealth of natural and artistic wonders from the Pacific Northwest and the Pacific Rim. It offers a community gathering place that nurtures life-long learning. The Anthropology Division holds collections concerned with ethnology and archeology. In addition it has an archive and a small library. The Archeology Division offers traveling study collections that focus on what archaeologists intended primarily for classroom use in grades K-12. Staff from the archaeology lab visit schools and present slide shows, talks, or one of the Division's teaching kits.
