Lunch & Learn with Michelle Koutnik

Monday, May 4
12:30–1:30 p.m.
Mary Gates Hall, Suite 211
Snacks provided; free and open to the UW community – please register here.

In conversation with UW Honors Program Assistant Director, Brook Kelly, Professor Michelle Koutnik will draw from nearly 20 years of experience teaching and researching on the Greenland Ice Sheet and the Arctic to address the need for an integrated understanding of historical and contemporary contexts of environmental, socioeconomic, cultural, and political changes in the Arctic region. 

Such an approach is critical in the current moment when recurring threats by the US to take over Greenland have significantly damaged the alliance and trust the US has historically had with Greenland, Denmark, and through NATO, while also creating day-to-day fear and uncertainty for Greenlanders. If making these threats is not in the interest of Americans, and acting upon them would be very damaging, what can we do in this current moment? 

The Arctic is a critical region for national and international security, and circumpolar forums for dialogue and shared decision making already exist. Scientific research is strongly collaborative across nations. How can we advocate for centering cooperation and respect when addressing challenges and assessing opportunities in the Arctic?

Dr. Koutnik looks forward to discussing these vital questions with Brook, Honors students, and others who attend and join the conversation.

Attend with Honors! A Larger Freedom: Multiracial Democracy and the Radical Reconstruction of the United States with Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor (April 30, 6:30-7:30 pm) *2 spots left!

UW Honors Director, Professor Stephanie Smallwood, is excited to attend the “A Larger Freedom: Multiracial Democracy and the Radical Reconstruction of the United States with Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor” lecture with a group of Honors students! 

If you’d like to attend this cultural outing with Professor Smallwood and fellow Honors students, please fill out this form. Please plan to meet in the Honors suite by 5:30 pm on Thursday, April 30th. This event takes place at Town Hall Seattle at 6:30 PM.

This lecture delves into the enduring struggle for democracy in the United States, challenging the notion that democratic backsliding began with the 2024 presidential election. Instead, it traces the deeper historical and structural forces that have long shaped—and strained—American democratic institutions. 

Through a critical examination of evidence pointing to democratic erosion, the lecture will explore what it truly means to live in a democratic society. What are the warning signs of decline? Who is most affected when democracy falters? And most importantly, how can democracy be safeguarded and made inclusive of all? 

These questions form the foundation of a timely and urgent conversation about the future of democracy in America.

The NSSE usually takes about 15 minutes to complete.  If students are curious about their eligibility due to the number of credits they have, they can visit the site below which provides clarification as to which students are eligible.

The NSSE is running on the UW Seattle campus until May 11th.  For more info, please visit the link below:

Our final in-person session on May 5th, 2026 will offer the opportunity to deepen student engagement by taking the themes/core concerns raised at the Winter Gathering, and brainstorming how to translate the feedback from World Cafe into tangible actions to steward change by creating connections to Mary Gates Leadership Fellowships, Campus Sustainability Fund, ASUW, and other student-led bodies or commissions on campus that amplify student voice.

University-in-Community Un-conference proposal deadline extended to April 30

Comparative History of Ideas | University of Washington
CALL FOR PROJECTS AND FACILITATORS
University in Community: An Un-Conference

Community is a place, practice, and feeling. It emerges as a survival strategy, a form of resistance. It is inherited through traditional familial networks, but also chosen and sometimes unexpected. Amidst this time of political unrest and uncertainty, as authoritarian forces attempt to destabilize our sense of community, we ask:

  • What does it mean to show up for one another? To be in community?
  • What does “community” mean to you?
  • What is important to your communities?
  • How do you find yourself in unexpected communities? Where/why are these bonds forged?
  • How do we form and strengthen communities?
  • How does your art/work/university knowledge connect to community (broadly understood)?

On May 29-30, 2026, we will gather to celebrate and consider difficult questions around community, activism, and collective care. We invite projects that explore the above questions through a variety of approaches and forms, including but not limited to: ongoing activism, (2D and 3D) artwork, music, papers, online media, storytelling, and so forth. This is a 2-day event: day 1 will take place at the UW Simpson Center; day 2 will take place at the UW-Othello Commons. 

If any of these questions speak to you, we invite you to submit a 250-word explanation of your project—finished or unfinished, dreamt or half-dreamt. All projects are welcome, even if they did not originally center our specific questions—as you prepare your submission, however, we ask that you consider your work in relation to “community.” Projects can be collaborative, and there are no specific educational requirements for submission—prospective presenters from all backgrounds are invited and welcome.

We are also looking for event facilitators! Facilitators will encourage meaningful conversations across presenters by guiding discussions, diving deeper with questions, and highlighting connections across projects. No prior facilitation experience is necessary; just bring your enthusiasm, attention, and curiosity! We’ll provide support and further discuss what facilitating can look like.

Submissions (for projects and facilitator interest) are due at this form by April 30th at 11:59 pm PST. We welcome applications from university undergraduates and graduate students, community members and organizations, and other interested mammals. Please direct all other questions or concerns to aileenk@uw.edu.

ESS 420 Introduction to Geographic Information Systems for the Earth Sciences (Summer 2026)

Earth surface phenomena generally do not occur in uniform patterns, but are instead heterogeneously distributed across space. Hence, the ability to examine and analyze these spatial patterns is an incredibly useful tool for earth scientists – and one such analytic tool at our disposal is the use of geographic information systems (GIS). This hands-on computer lab and lecture course provides an introduction to the use of GIS in the earth sciences. We begin by covering the fundamentals of GIS, including the way spatial data are represented and stored, the software tools available (with a focus on Esri ArcGIS), and many of the fundamental methods of analysis. This introduction also includes some of the theoretical aspects of GIS. The course covers these fundamentals through examples in the earth sciences and beyond, and then explores various earth science applications of GIS in greater depth. Topics include discussion of imported data for GIS analysis, introductions to analyses of topography and hydrologic flow, mapping and analysis, and a brief overview of other geomorphologic phenomena for which GIS can serve as a useful if not essential tool.
