1.) May 17th, 2006: CSSS Seminar 05/17/06: "The Potential Effects of HIV Vaccines in South Africa"

 

Time: 12:30 - 1:30pm on Wednesday, 05/17/06 (followed by coffee).

Abstract:  This presentation will begin with a brief overview of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in South Africa and the prospects for an effective HIV vaccine. It will then introduce the ASSA2002 Vaccine model, a model developed to quantify the potential effects of HIV vaccines in South Africa. The model is used to identify which vaccine distribution strategies are likely to be most efficient when vaccine supplies are limited. It is also used to assess the effects of strategies that are possible when there is sufficient vaccine stock to immunize a large proportion of the population. Results suggest that a sterilizing vaccine could reduce the HIV incidence between 2015 and 2025 by up to 50%, while a disease-modifying vaccine would be unlikely to reduce HIV incidence by more than 25%. The effect on AIDS mortality over the same period would be substantially smaller, and it is unlikely that any preventive vaccine would reduce AIDS mortality by more
than 10% between 2015 and 2025.

 

 

2.) May 19th and 24th: Come and learn about current graduate student research in Africa!

The African Studies Program is pleased to announce two brown-bag events focusing on graduate student research in Africa. Everyone is welcome- bring your lunch or a snack and learn more about Kristy Leissle's research on cocoa-chocolate commodity chains in Ghana and Amanda Poole's ethnographic research on place and refugee resettlement in Eritrea. Please spread the word!



Cocoa, Cocoa Everywhere: A Social and Material Analysis of Chocolate in Ghana



Brown-Bag Presentation and Discussion:

Kristy Leissle

Graduate Student, Women Studies



Denny Hall- Room 401



Friday, May 19, 2006

12:30-2pm



A graduate student in the UW Women Studies program, Kristy returned in December from 12 months of fieldwork and travel along cocoa-chocolate commodity chains in Africa, Asia, and Europe. She spent eight of those months in Ghana and Britain researching the ways that political economies of cocoa and chocolate are influenced by gender, race, sexuality, and national imaginaries. One of the goals of her work is to disrupt the notion that commodity chains comprise mutually exclusive, geographically separate poles of production and consumption and attend to the oft-overlooked idea that producers can also be consumers of the final product. To this end, Kristy will present her findings on chocolate consumption in Ghana, including the extent of manufacture and distribution and the ways chocolate does - or rather, does not! - fit into consumption patterns in Ghana's Western region.



The Power of Place: An Ethnography of Refugee Resettlement in the Eritrean Lowlands



Brown-Bag Presentation and Discussion:

Amanda Poole

Graduate Student, Department of Anthropology



Simpson Center for the Humanities

Communications 202/204



Wednesday, May 24, 2006

2-3pm



A graduate student in the UW environmental anthropology program, Amanda returned in December from 15 months of fieldwork in Eritrea on refugee resettlement and resource management.  Amanda will be discussing highlights from her field research in a growing multi-ethnic resettlement community in the western lowlands, a region where as many as 200,000 Eritrean refugees have been resettled since the country gained independence in 1993.  Her project involved looking at citizenship and civil society in the context of state and transnational development projects; understanding how social identities and networks take shape in these diverse places; and exploring what 'home' meant to returnees and locals as they established social relations through resource use and reclaimed a symbolic space of remembered violence and displacement.

 

 

3.) May 20th, 2006: 6th Annual Documentary Film Workshop: Teaching Diversity and Cross-Cultural Understanding through Documentary Films.

Mary Gates Hall, Room 238, UW Seattle Campus | 8:30 AM - 12:30 PM

This half-day workshop will introduce educators to documentary films that can be used to teach students about cultural diversity and cross-cultural understanding. This year's workshop will feature films dealing with issues for Latin American, Europe, India and the Inuit in Canada's Far North. These films provide excellent teaching "tools" for introducing critical diversity and cross-cultural issues into your classrooms today. Increasingly students learn about their world through video and film - this workshop provides an opportunity to enhance that learning to include critical social issues at the international level. Sponsor: Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies Outreach Centers. Contact: 206-221-6374 or canada at u.washington.edu

6.) May 31st, 2006: ANTI-APARTHEID COMBATANT TURNED PEACE ACTIVIST Yazir Henri to address Seattle community

Anti-apartheid combatant turned peace activist and scholar, Yazir Henri will address the questions: how does one make the decision to take up arms in a political struggle?  And, once the armed struggle has ended, how does one forge a peaceful life among former enemies?  



WHO: Yazir Henri

WHEN:   7:00 pm Wednesday, May 31

WHERE: Kane Hall, Room 210, University of Washington, Seattle



This lecture is FREE and open to the public. It is part of the Veterans of Inter-communal Violence seminar series, sponsored by the Clowes Center for Conflict and Dialogue Studies and the Comparative History of Ideas Program at the University of Washington. 



DETAILS:

Yazir Henri is the co-founder and director of the Direct Action Centre for Peace and Memory in Cape Town, South Africa. Since 1997, the centre has worked with former combatants, torture survivors and political prisoners. Henri joined Umkhonto We Sizwe (MK), the military wing of the African National Conference at age 16, when the apartheid government still held power over South Africa.  He received military training in Angola and the Soviet Union, and returned to South Africa as an MK officer, only to be imprisoned for terrorism and treason.  Henri emerged from the hands of the police, and from an ambivalent testimony before the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, to re-define himself as a poet, writer and peace activist. 



SERIES AND SPONSOR INFORMATION:

The Clowes Center was formed in 2004 in order to provide a forum within which students, faculty and members of our communities (both local and international) can develop projects, programs, events and research that explore specific efforts to create and sustain dialogue across social and political, and national boundaries.



This seminar will be the first in the Veterans of Inter-communal Violence series, sponsored by the Clowes Center.  These seminars will illustrate different ways that groups come to adopt violent means for change, and different ways that such people can transform their worlds towards peaceful ends.



For more information, or to schedule an interview with Mr. Henri, please contact Theron Stevenson at 206-427-2212 or at theron at u.washington.edu.

8.) Sept. 29-30th, 2006: WIDER Conference on Advancing Health Equity

Helsinki, Finland, 29-30 September 2006

Website: http://www.wider.unu.edu/conference/conference-2006-2/conference-2006-2-announcement.htm 

Comparisons of life styles and living standards increasingly pay attention to non-income dimensions of well-being. Health in particular is recognized for both its intrinsic and instrumental value, contributing directly to an individual's level of well-being as well as indirectly via its impact on other components. Substantial and widespread improvement in health outcomes has taken place during the past century. But despite this progress many individuals suffer health deprivation, with outcomes falling far short of those commonly accepted elsewhere. This conference will bring together researchers and practitioners, from both developed and developing countries, to analyze the causes and consequences of health deprivation and inequality, to examine patterns and trends in these outcomes, to evaluate alternative policy options, and to identify future research directions.

Conference topics will include:

·          concepts and measures of health status

·          trends in health deprivation and inequality

·          causes of health deprivation and inequality 

·          link between health and income deprivations

·          labor market outcomes and health status

·          nutrition and health

·          intra-household issues in health

·          evaluating alternative health policies

The conference is intended for researchers and policymakers from the academic, government, and development communities. Participants attending WIDER development conferences typically come from a university, research institute, government department or international organization. 

Those wishing to present a paper should send a detailed abstract or a full draft of the paper (strongly preferred). Others wishing to attend, but not present a paper, should briefly explain their reason for interest in the conference topics. All applicants should submit a short CV, including their full contact address, institutional affiliation, relevant publications and professional experience, nationality, age and gender.

All applications must be received by 15 May 2006 by email to health06 at wider.unu.edu or by fax to +358-9-615-99-333.

Funding 
There is no conference fee. Travel and accommodation costs will be covered for selected conference participants subject to UN procedures. Preference will be given to funding participants from developing and transition countries, with an emphasis on policymakers and those from universities and research institutes.

Conference language 
The conference is held in English (simultaneous translation will not be available).

World Institute for Development Economics Research of the United Nations University (UNU-WIDER) was established in 1985. The institute undertakes multidisciplinary research and policy analysis on structural changes affecting the living conditions of the world's poorest people; provides a forum for professional interaction and the advocacy of policies leading to robust, equitable and environmentally sustainable growth; and promotes capacity strengthening and training for scholars and government officials in the field of economic and social policy making.

 

9.) Sept. 29-30th, 2006: WIDER Conference on Advancing Health Equity

 

October 15-19th, 2006, Ottawa, Canada
The Canadian Society for International Health, in partnership with the Canadian Coalition for Global Health Research,

Website: http://www.csih.org/what/ccih.html 



Undoubtedly, human resources represent the most critical and precious assets in the struggle to achieve global health.  In 2006, discussions around human resources for health will dominate the international health stage as the World Health Organization dedicates both World Health Day and its annual report to the men and women who make health care happen and assure the existence and quality of the services they deliver.  This year, the Canadian Conference on International Health will offer participants the opportunity to explore the field of human resources, across all aspects of the health system, and encourage a broad, but critical, approach to the theme stressing, as always, the links between research, advocacy and action.

2.) Internship at the International Rescue Committee, Seattle

This International Rescue Committee position would suit a junior/senior/ grad student interested in refugee issues, non-profit work, or social work.  I am leaving this program after a year at the IRC and we are looking for a summer replacement.  Any questions? Please email seaaor at theirc.org

Max Gasteen
MAIS/MPA Candidate



Jackson School of Int'l Studies/Evans School of Public Affairs

The IRC is seeking to recruit a part-time (20 hours per week) intern over the summer months to co-manage our Affidavit of Relationship program. Hours are negotiable. Start date: May 22nd. The IRC helps people fleeing racial, religious and ethnic persecution, as
well as those uprooted by war and violence.

The IRC works internationally in conflict resolution and refugee assistance.  Domestically, we help thousands of refugees resettle in the United States every year, and our offices across the country make sure that all new arrivals receive shelter, food and clothing. We also provide recently arrived refugees with translation services, English-language instruction, job training, employment services and other counseling.

The IRC Seattle Office focuses on domestic refugee resettlement. We resettle some 500 clients every year. The majority of the people we resettle come from the Horn of Africa, Vietnam, and the former Soviet Union.

The Affidavit of Relationship (AOR) program enables resettled refugees and asylees to file for family reunification of eligible family members. Often a person is resettled in the United States without many members of their family. Every eligible refugee or asylee has the right to file for reunification with family in the United States.

The AOR program in Seattle is managed and run by interns, and overseen by a permanent staff member. Your role would be to work with the existing intern to manage and run the program. Duties involve:
* Determining eligibility for the program
* Collecting data of refugee family relationships
* Conducting interviews with our clients to complete the application
* Liaising with our New York Head Quarters about submitted applications
* Tracking cases from interview in Seattle, to review in New York to family interviews in country of residence.
* Communicating with our clients to inform of the progress of their case and any problems arising.



The role is very detail oriented. You should have a passion for working with non-profits and refugee issues, as well as proven experience in case management, project work or other relevant experience. You should have some academic or practical background in international affairs, refugee
studies, development or some other related field. You will be expected to be able to work independently, and have a mature attitude. The role is very demanding, but it is also highly rewarding. The IRC office is fun and busy atmosphere to work in.

Interested applicants should send a cover letter explaining their motivations in applying for the post, a current CV and supply the names contact details of two references. Please send all material electronically to seaaor at theirc.org, or by post to:

             "..The Johns Hopkins Center for Global Health bridges the international work of the University's Bloomberg School of Public Health, School of Medicine and School of Nursing in a coordinated worldwide effort to combat HIV/AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis, malnutrition, hepatitis and other threats to health-especially in developing countries. 

The Center promotes collaboration across the three schools, seeks out and secures funding for new initiatives, recruits faculty to address emerging global health issues and trains graduate students to be the next generation of leaders in global health.

The center will be led by Thomas Quinn, a professor of international health, epidemiology and molecular microbiology and immunology in the Bloomberg School and professor of medicine in the School of Medicine.

            The center will help to broker collaboration among nearly two dozen existing programs in the three schools; together, those programs already operate more than 400 projects around the world.

2.) Open Meetings--College-School Organization Committee  

 

This message is being sent to all Faculty, Staff, and Students with approval from the Office of the Provost.



Dear Colleagues,

I am writing to let you know that the recently appointed UW College/School Organization Committee has scheduled two open meetings to hear your views:

-- Wednesday, May 24, 3:30-5:00 (Johnson 102)
-- Tuesday, May 30, 3:30-5:00 (Fisheries 102)

The committee charge is to gather information and ideas about how the organization of the University of Washington can provide the best learning environment for our students and most effectively support research, scholarship, and creative work.  How can the organization of our colleges and schools best serve our core missions of learning, discovery, and creativity? What innovative strategies might be proposed as we move into
the future?  Our continuing goals are to:

-- Provide a rich learning experience to a diverse and excellent student body.
-- Attract and retain an outstanding and diverse faculty and staff.
-- Strengthen interdisciplinary research and scholarship.
-- Expand the reach of the University of Washington around the globe.

Besides the open meetings, other meetings will be held with groups of interested faculty and staff, chairs of the college councils, and deans, among others.  I have asked the committee to report its findings to me in the fall.

The committee has established a website:
<http://depts.washington.edu/csoc> which contains information about the membership of the committee, email contacts, and topics of interest. Links will soon be added to resources relevant to the mandate of the committee. In the future there will also be specific questions to which we hope you will respond.

The members of the committee are eager to hear your views, and it is my hope that you will share your aspirations, ideas, and concerns.

Sincerely,

Phyllis M. Wise
Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs
