Crowell Fund – Please help our graduate students

Once again, the College of Arts and Sciences is offering a 1 to 1 match for funds (up to $1,000 per person) donated by college faculty and staff for graduate education. We will use all funds for our Laura Crowell Fund, which provides travel and research funds for our graduate students and supports the Communication Graduate Student Association.

This is the chief source of funding we have for Crowell; last year our donations and the College’s match raised just under $10,000. We raised another $3,500 last year from the Crowell Fund Run. We’ve already started planning for the Fund Run on May 14 – but for now, we need to concentrate on the College’s very generous match.

For faculty and staff: Please consider making a donation to our graduate program. Our graduate students benefit enormously from this. In particular, we are able to provide funding for our graduate students to present research papers at national and international conferences. As you know, participation in these conferences is really quite important for the professional development of our graduate students. Participation in conferences gives them a sense of the field and helps them network – which is really crucial to their ability to get jobs. All of this contributes greatly to the department’s national reputation.

Faculty and staff pay raises have not been generous the past 5 years; we are all very conscious of that. Still: please consider making a donation. This is really the time to help our students, given the College’s very generous 1 to 1 match. For every $50 or $100 you contribute, we get the same amount from the college – and a gift of that level goes a long way in getting a graduate student to an important conference. So please consider making a contribution this year. Given the College’s match, any amount you donate can make a difference.

In the past year, we provided funding to every graduate student who had a conference paper at a communication conference. Among those we provided funding for were: Whitney Anspach, Dana Bagwell, Deborah Bassett, Nancy Bixler, Laura Black, Kevin Coe, Ted Coopman, Natalie Debray, Eve-Anne Doohan, Meghan Dougherty, Danielle Endres, Irina Gendelman, Erica Graham, Kathy Hall, Verena Hess, Li-ting Ho, Sara Kennedy, Cindy King, Taso Lagos, Jay Leighter, Sue Lockett John, Edit Manosevitch, Adrienne Massanari, Melissa Meade, Tema Milstein, Rachel Nez, Leah Sprain, Clifford Tatum and Saskia Witteborn.

The graduate students have told us repeatedly how much they value this support, and how much it helps them as they prepare for their careers.

Save the Date

Kathy Gill was interviewed by NPR in Salt Lake City in early October for a 20-minute discussion of blogs, politics and participatory journalism.

TY Lau appeared on a live one-hour TV show in Vancouver, Canada on October 20 to talk about the U.S. election.

A September 24, 2004, article from the Seattle Times (by J. Patrick Coolican) focused on young people and voting. Among those quoted was John Gastil:

Professor John Gastil of the University of Washington thinks there's another reason young people don't vote: They have no civic experience. "Over the course of your life you have lots of experiences that make you think of yourself as more of a citizen. The older you get, the more of these experiences you have," he said. In other words, once someone pays a property-tax bill or watches a neighbor run for office, he or she starts thinking more about voting. A Pearl Jam concert may be more fun than paying a property-tax bill, but what effect can it have? Gastil says it's hard to measure because the crowd has chosen to come, so many of the head-bobbers may already be devoted to the cause. The rockers hope to reach a fairly small group of persuadable voters by attracting them with music, Gastil said. "It's a fine line, because if the band is on stage talking politics, then people there for the music might get annoyed."

The Digital Media Working Group held a networking reception at the Simpson Center on November 3. DMWG, in conjunction with the Simpson Center, sponsored a talk by Robert Gomulkiewicz, direction of the UW Intellectual Property Law Program on November 1. On October 13, DMWG sponsored a lecture by Henry Kautz on "Artificial Intelligence meets ubiquitous computing: how digital technologies helps those with cognitive disorders." The Digital Media Work Group has a significant profile on campus. Watch for future lectures.

Study Abroad -- Rome

More than 20 students have signed up for the department's study abroad program in Rome this winter quarter. The program was first offered last winter with 12 students. The plan is to offer the program once a year. The 10-week interdisciplinary program will include courses in Communication; the history, culture and architecture of Rome, and Italian language. Some of the journalism students will intern at an international news agency. Students experience first-hand the excitement of Rome. There will also be excursions to historic sites outside of Rome.

Tony Giffard, the program director, will teach a course on communication media in the context of changing cultural, economic, political and technological developments in Italy and the European Union. Professor Leonardo Distaso of the University of Rome will lecture on the history, art, culture and civilization of the city of Rome. The course will consist of seminars and walking tours of the city, with visits to art galleries, churches, museums, and notable architectural and archaeological sites. Students also will study Italian at a Roman language school. More information about the UW Rome center.

The Dart Center

The Dart Center has started work in a second location, in Room 244. Jeffrey Cantrell, Dart’s visual media editor, and Jesse Tarbert, web editor, are headquartered there. Jeffrey became a full-time classified staff member this autumn, after working in the Center for the past two years on an hourly basis. Jesse, a recent UW journalism graduate, has done much to enhance readership of the Dart website. Also joining Dart is Kevin Kawamoto, who is serving as a research assistant for the Center. Kevin, a former Communication faculty member, has started graduate work in the School of Social Work. Welcome back, Kevin.

The Center hosted photojournalist Joseph Rodriguez, based in Brooklyn, October 18-22. Rodriguez recently completed a shoot in Zambia for the Dart Center, a project that was published in the Richmond paper. His new book, Juvenile, focuses on the trials facing young people coming out of prison.

More than 25 friends of the college attended an Arts and Sciences Dean’s Club event on Friday, October 22, focused on the Dart Center. Thanks to Roger Simpson and the Dart staff for their work on this, and also to Victoria Sprang for her assistance. The College and its development staff created an impressive event - many thanks to Michelle Barnett, Patricia DiPalma, Erin MacCoy and Kerston Swartz.

Alumnus Jim Boggs, founder of UWonCue (now called Expressive Arts), and several other actors facilitated a session for the graduate student pedagogy course on handling challenging moments in the classroom. Thanks to Natalie Debray for organizing this session.

The September Project

Again, congratulations to David Silver for the very successful event on September 11. This is excerpted from his final report to the Department:

On Saturday, September 11, free and public events about democracy, citizenship, and patriotism took place. To the best of our knowledge, 469 events took place in all 50 states. Outside the US, events took place in 8 countries: Australia, Cuba, Japan, the Netherlands, Singapore, Spain, Switzerland, and Venezuela.

At the Ballard Public Library, librarian Ellen Fitzgerald organized an excellent event. About 75 people attended a talk by Ian Spiers, a college student whose photographs of a popular Seattle landmark led to visits from police officers and officials from the Department of Homeland Security, followed by comments by Doug Honig, Communications Director of ACLU-Washington. Few were silent during the Q & A period and the discussion covered issues of security, racism, civil liberties, and justice. 75 community members discussing issues that matter in a public space: it was as if we were all part of an unironic and uncynical Norman Rockwell painting. The event finished with folks talking about how we can continue to have events like these.

At the Central Library….Outside the library were four blank murals. This was a very large project, involving many, and organized primarily by Irina Gendelman, Giorgia Aiello, and Tema Milstein, three graduate students at the University of Washington. Each mural had a different theme and color – America (red), patriotism (white), war and peace (blue), and 9/11 (black). As the day went on, people (some library patrons, some who were there for September Project events, and some directly from the streets) observed the murals, talked about them, and added an image, a word, a sentence. It was quite beautiful. Every community should have community murals!

For images of the process and product, see:

The Day Before

David Silver was also very active in the creation of “The Day Before” on November 1, 2004. As he reported, “The Day Before is an effort to energize, educate, and ignite the entire UW campus the day before the election, Monday, November 1. On that day, events will happen in Red Square, HUB lawn, and all over campus. Students, student organizations, and faculty are organizing events to get the campus thinking the day before they vote. Watch a film, attend a panel, pick up information on campus, view public art. MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD!”
