Community Engaged Scholarship: Conducting Research for Equity
COM 495 and 499
10 credits
Summer 2019

Fulfills Communication methods requirement

Engaged scholarship is the collaboration between academics and individuals outside the academy that supports the exchange of knowledge and resources in partnership and reciprocity. This course bridges research and practice by bringing together UW students and a community in the Rainier Valley area of South Seattle to engage various equity issues. 

The course is designed to examine the interconnectedness of power, privilege, and difference through academic-community partnerships and applied research. The class will address both the practical aspects of qualitative, community engaged research methods as well as critiques of academic research when they engage marginalized communities.  Students will leave the class with a better understanding of how knowledge production and research are part of larger institutional and cultural inequalities, and how they can combat these inequalities through alternative forms of knowledge production.

Students who are accepted into this class will earn 10 Communication credits and receive $1000 stipends towards tuition as CCDE Undergraduate Fellows. The class will meet at UW Tuesday and Thursday from 10:30 a.m.-12:50 p.m., and at various locations in South Seattle from 2:30 -4:50 pm also on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Please complete a short application on CCDE website (ccde.com.uw.edu) by May 15th.  Students will receive notices of acceptance by May 20th.

The Carlson Leadership & Public Service Center is pleased to invite students to apply for the 2019 Jackson Munro Public Service Fellowship. Applications are due on May 19 @ 11:59 pm and may be emailed to Rachel Vaughn at engage@uw.edu.  

 

Jackson Munro Public Service Fellowship

The Jackson Munro Public Service Fellowship encourages a life-long commitment to public service by providing outstanding undergraduates the opportunity to deepen their commitment to service and leadership in the context of community.

Jackson Munro Public Service Fellows are selected based on the strength of a public service project proposed in collaboration with a public sector (non-profit or governmental) organization.

Selection of Jackson Munro Public Service Fellows

Jackson Munro Public Service Fellows serve in the summer, building on experiences and partnerships they have forged in the previous academic year.  Students are funded to engage in a public service project between July 1-September 15.

 

Jackson Munro Public Service Fellows are selected for a summer intensive experience based on three primary factors:

• An established partnership with a non-profit or public sector organization
• A collaboratively thought out plan for a summer intensive project that will benefit the partnering organization while increasing student skills and learning
• An articulation of how the work of the Fellow will contribute to their development as a public servant and leader

Made possible through the support of the Henry M. Jackson Foundation, the Fellowship is named for late Senator Henry M. “Scoop” Jackson and S. Sterling Munro, Jr., the former top aide to Senator Jackson and Administrator of the Bonneville Power Administration.

Selection Timeline

• Applications for the Jackson Munro Public Service Fellowship are due on Sunday, May 19 at 11:59 pm
• Interviews for the Fellowship will be held on June 7, 2019.  
• Projects should occur between July 1 and September 15, 2019. Generally, students are expected to serve, on average, 10 hours per week during this time period OR a total of 110 hours.

The Livable City Year program is expanding its team of graphic designers and editors as we ramp up our report production this summer. Successful candidates can start upon hire, or after finals.

Labor and Social Justice Scholarships at the University of Washington

Are you an undergrad passionate about social justice? A graduate student writing a dissertation on a labor-related topic? A busy activist building a student group or union campaign? 

You are in luck! Each year, the Harry Bridges Center for Labor Studies awards over $50,000 in scholarships at the University of Washington. The Bridges Center is currently seeking applicants from all three UW campuses and from students at all stages of education and experience, graduate and undergraduate.  

One application is required for a host of individual awards ranging from $1,000 to $10,000.   

How to Apply?

One application is required to be considered for multiple awards. Visit labor.uw.edu to learn more about the application process.  The deadline to apply is Tuesday, May 28, 2019.  

Who Should Apply?

Scholarships are awarded yearly to entering freshmen, transfer students, current undergraduate students or graduate students at the University of Washington who are committed to the principles of justice, equality and diversity and have demonstrated financial need. Students with an interest in labor studies or a family background in labor and social justice are encouraged to apply. 

To receive some awards, students must demonstrate financial need according to the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Low-income, non-citizen students unable to file a FAFSA due to immigration status may instead complete the free Washington Application for State Financial Aid (WASFA). Those who do not meet FAFSA requirements will still be considered for scholarships offered by the Bridges Center.
