The Planning Association of Washington (PAW) would like to invite you to participate in our annual conference through PechaKucha presentations. We are excited to provide an opportunity to allow students and professional planners to interface with each other in a conference setting. There will be many opportunities to meet other planners and to get a feel for some of the issues planners in Washington State are facing. It is our hope that this will be the beginning of an ongoing relationship with our non-profit organization and the educational institutions developing the next generation of planners, urban designers, landscape architects, architects, land use attorneys, environmental scientists, and more.

The students should prepare a presentation following the PechaKucha format, as follows: A PechaKucha 20 X 20 is a simple presentation format where you show 20 images, each for 20 seconds. The images advance automatically, and you talk along to the images. A website for this concept is provided here: http://www.pechakucha.org/faq. We have four scheduled PechaKucha events throughout the conference, each provides an opportunity for up to four presentations. See Program Schedule attached for more information.

We have provided a special Student Registration rate of $50.00 to attend the whole conference.

Contact Marla Powers (509) 869-4048, Conference Chair for questions and to sign up for the event and get your name and school on the Agenda. Please respond by April 6, 2018. Email info@planningpaw.org to register for the conference at the student rate.

Political Landscapes of Buenos Aires: Neoliberalism and the Struggle for Alternatives

 

Summer 2018: June 18 – August 17

The goal of this program is to understand urban space as an evolving, complex and contested landscape shaped by – and with the power to shape – neoliberal measures and policies. It will study the actions of social and political movements in the city of Buenos Aires that resist, rework and pose alternatives to neoliberal ways of organizing the urban space. The program combines classroom and field-based learning, and it includes two field trips, one to the city of Rosario and another one to the city of Bariloche in Patagonia.

Are you interested in making places better for walking and biking? Are you curious about how a city decides where to put its bike lanes? How about new pedestrian crossings?

Does this sound like you, or a current undergraduate or graduate student you know? Check out our Internships page and job description to learn more about interning with us in 2018.
