Das Deutsche Problem: Human Rights and Cultural Conflict in Bavaria
https://depts.washington.edu/chid/munich.2012SUM
Info session in Padelford C-101: Friday 2/24 at 2pm
When you think of Bavaria, do you think of the giant beer steins and
sausages of Oktoberfest?  A well-tuned society with Germany's highest
standard of living?  Or do you think of the horrific rise of the Nazi
party?  Or the current ban on teachers wearing headscarves to work?
 
Our one-month program will attempt to trace the various efforts towards
defining national identity in modern Bavaria, traveling to medieval style
castles, Nazi bunkers, the site of the Nuremberg trials, the Olympic Park,
Munich's celebrated new Jewish Museum, and many others.  We will be based in
Munich, which Lonely Planet describes as "sexy, sophisticated and
self-confident ? a trove of cultural delights and a relaxed flair".  6
credits.  (Inquire about the possibility of additional independent study
credits.)
 
We are also accepting applications for CHID summer programs in Bosnia,
Croatia & Serbia; Rome, Viet Nam and Cuba.  Contact chidint@uw.edu for more information.

Julie Peterson-Snyder is technical writer for Costco Wholesale. She has 
worked in various documentation departments and writing positions for 
Costco since the early nineties. She is certain her Communication degree 
helped her land her first documentation job with Costco, and it continues 
to apply directly to her work today. She creates content and publishes to 
a handful of her company?s employee intranet sites. Costco is practically 
paperless, creating all of their content for web publication. Julie has 
seen lots of changes over the years, but the skills she learned at the UW, 
such as interviewing subject-matter experts and applying various writing 
styles to that information, still applies today. Deliveries have changed, 
but not the basic process in which documentation products are created.

Seattle Weekly has an immediate opening for a news blogger. Our ideal candidate is not only familiar with deadlines, but motivated by them; has enough reporting chops to ferret out when they're being spun; has a nuanced understanding of how the web works, and how writing for it differs from print; and is unafraid of occasionally offering his or her opinion, not just rehashing the what, where, and whys that can be read elsewhere.

Applicants must have demonstrated writing experience, and a proven ability to make cynical and world-weary editors chuckle, if not laugh outright. Familiarity with online publishing programs and photo editing tools is a plus, though not mandatory since they take about a half hour to master. 

An ideal candidate would not only be able to work and coexist peaceably with other hardheaded writers, but also has the kind of mind that is constantly churning out new ideas to be stress-tested. "Self-starter" is the imperfect way of describing this individual, but it's what we're left with so it'll have to do. 

This is a full-time position, with competitive salary and benefits. Interested and qualified applicants should submit a cover letter, resume, and two or three of their best samples to me, Caleb Hannan, at channan@seattleweekly.com. No phone calls please.

The Washington Center (TWC) is pleased to inform our contacts in the field
of communications about an immediate internship opening at the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) in Chicago, IL . The EPA is seeking a student with a
background and education in communication (general communications,
marketing, journalism, public relations, etc) to fill a full-time, 15-week
internship beginning as soon as possible. The position is generously funded,
which means students are provided with a stipend and furnished housing, as
well as a full scholarship for TWC's program fee. Should a local student
accept the position and not be in need of housing accommodations, the
stipend would be increased.
 
In addition to interning at the EPA and gaining valuable work experience,
the selected student would take part in Washington Center distance
programming, which would include conference calls and webinar-style
workshops covering topics such as creating a federal resume and obtaining a
job with the government. The student also would create a professional
portfolio.
 
In order to qualify for the position, a candidate must:
 
-be a U.S. citizen;
-be an upper level undergraduate, graduate student, or recent graduate
(within 18 months post-graduation);
-have a 2.5 GPA or above;
-have experience/background in the communications field;
-possess a strong interest to work for the federal government and the EPA;
and
-be available within two weeks to begin an internship in Chicago, IL.
 
Please note that the EPA and federal government believe strongly in fielding
a diverse group of applicants. Students who are interested in being
considered can complete their applications online as soon as possible.
Applicants should indicate their program choice as the "Competitive
Government Program." No application fee will be required.
 
We understand that this opportunity is being announced at an extremely late
juncture in the spring semester and that many students might encounter
challenges pursuing the internship. Should you have any questions or
concerns, please contact me (reid.may@twc.edu or 202-238-7702) to discuss the details of the program and the technical aspects of application.

YOU can study abroad this summer!

Bavaria!  Bosnia, Croatia & Serbia!  Rome! Viet Nam! Cuba!
We have extended the application deadline to March 1 for five Comparative
History of Ideas summer study abroad programs.  This is traveling unlike any
trip you?ll take outside of school.  This is studying unlike any class
you?ll take on campus. We like our programs to represent the UW?s diversity,
and encourage EVERYONE to consider applying.  Our programs offer UW credit,
and are eligible for Federal Financial Aid.  No minimum language or GPA
requirement.
 
Das Deutsche Problem: Human Rights and Cultural Conflict in Bavaria
https://depts.washington.edu/chid/munich.2012SUM
Info session in Padelford C-101: Friday 2/24 at 2pm
When you think of Bavaria, do you think of the giant beer steins and
sausages of Oktoberfest?  A well-tuned society with Germany's highest
standard of living?  Or do you think of the horrific rise of the Nazi
party?  Or the current ban on teachers wearing headscarves to work?
Our one-month program will attempt to trace the various efforts towards
defining national identity in modern Bavaria, traveling to medieval style
castles, Nazi bunkers, the site of the Nuremberg trials, the Olympic Park,
Munich's celebrated new Jewish Museum, and many others.  We will be based in
Munich, which Lonely Planet describes as "sexy, sophisticated and
self-confident ? a trove of cultural delights and a relaxed flair".  6
credits.  (Inquire about the possibility of additional independent study
credits.)
  
Bosnia, Croatia & Serbia: One European Future Together?
https://depts.washington.edu/chid/BCS.2012.SUM
If you want your study abroad experience to take you where your friends
probably haven't been, consider the CHID program in Bosnia, Croatia and
Serbia.  Our seven previous programs there have challenged many
misconceptions about the Balkans as a conflict zone, offering an alternative
account of a cultural borderland where religious and cultural interaction
and coexistence have been the norm through much of the early modern period
and in post WW II Yugoslavia.  Participants will get to know bustling, hip
Belgrade, scrappy multicultural Sarajevo, and beautiful historic Zagreb,
among many other site visits, including one of the most stunning nature
parks in Europe. 
 
Roma Eterna
https://depts.washington.edu/chid/rome.2012sum
The 9-week CHID Summer Rome Program offers two courses that focus
intensively on the history and culture of Rome to take full advantage of
Rome?s unique character as an historical and urban site with multiple layers
of development that engage students in a dialogue across time.  The Roma
Eterna course considers the historical periods of Rome as distinct ?foreign?
cultures that help to bring into relief the temporary and contingent
character of American, and more broadly, contemporary culture and society. 
12 credits.
 
CHID Viet Nam: Building for Peace in the Wake of War
https://depts.washington.edu/chid/vietnam.2012.SUM
This program explores the legacy of war and ongoing rebuilding efforts in
Viet Nam. In partnership with PeaceTrees Vietnam, a Seattle-based
organization working on land mine clearance and environmental/community
restoration in Quang Tri Province, our group of 12-18 students will pursue
historical studies in Ha Noi and Hue and participate in a community-building
project with local people in Dong Ha, near the former Demilitarized Zone
(DMZ).
 
CHID Cuba: The Dialectics of Cuban/American Nationality
https://depts.washington.edu/chid/cuba.2012sum
The focus of this program is to explore the ways in which Cuba and the
United States have imagined both themselves and the other--and the ways in
which those images are dynamic, co-constitutive, and historically grounded. 
Participants will spend the first 3 weeks of summer studying in Seattle,
then spend a month exploring historical and cultural sites in Cuba,
concluding with a week in Miami.  Airfare and travel visas are included with
the program fee.

You’ve got goals, we’ve got internships. Let's produce incredible work and experiences in 2012!
About Knowledge As Power
KAP is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization based in Seattle, Washington.  We're an organization that seeks to promote and inspire innovation in the public sphere through Gov 2.0 and Open Government initiatives (think OneBusAway or SeeClickFix). Our mission is to help individuals become informed and engaged citizens and we achieve this mission through civic skills workshops, an online service for interacting with legislatures, regional events on innovation, and through advising various government bodies.

If you're a policy or tech geek, it's exciting stuff. If you're an active citizen, it's invaluable.


New Media & Online Content Internship
Do you know new media tools like the back of your hand? Would you like to know what it takes to manage a nonprofit’s online presence? If you tweet, update, blog, pin, tumbl, or basically love sharing and connecting online, come do it with us! 

KAP is looking for a savvy intern to help manage our online presence. This person will work with current content - re-post, re-purpose, re-think it - and will help develop new online content that promotes KAP and public-sector innovation. The New Media Intern will keep our Wordpress blog and website bustling while helping produce short videos and other media that can be used across our campaigns and presentations.


Position Details
We require some experience using social media, even if only for personal purposes. If you have online content/accounts, be sure to let us know how to find them. We also seek applicants whom have some experience managing their own time on projects, as we operate virtually. Here a few more concrete details:

?	Requires 15-20 hours per week commitment for at least 10 weeks
?	Credit and no-credit positions are possible, just be specific when you write us
?	You don’t have to be a government guru to apply - but be open to learning a lot!


Working at KAP
KAP's work culture is different than most nonprofits – we’re more like a tech start-up. Our staff works virtually with weekly meetings in downtown Seattle. We value time off and respect the realities of life (cars break down, elders need care, and that thesis won't write itself). Because of the flexibility in our work environment, it's imperative that KAP employees are trustworthy, driven, self-starting and resourceful. A sense of humor always helps, too!


Tinker Time
All positions also include “tinker time”, which is your opportunity to brainstorm new ideas that can be incorporated into our work at KAP. We offer the flexibility to spend up to 20% of your time on tinker time. As ideas take shape, employees are asked to pitch them to the team to discuss its potential and deployment.


How to Apply
Interested applicants should send a short one page cover letter, their resume, and two references to Sarah Schacht at director@knowledgeaspower.org. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis. And don’t forget to include any links to content you’d like us to see!

The American Indian Journalism Institute, founded in 2001, is an academic, scholarship and internship program for college students run and underwritten by the Freedom Forum Diversity Institute.

American Indian students often do not consider journalism as a career option, in part because many of their schools lack student newspapers and journalism classes, the most common routes to journalism careers. Without Native Americans on staff, news organizations can produce stereotypical and erroneous coverage of Indian issues and Indian people.

AIJI provides a unique opportunity for Indian students to learn about journalism and consider it as a career, which will help improve newsroom diversity around the country.

For three weeks in June, Native American students learn the craft of journalism through one of several journalism courses taught at the Freedom Forum’s Al Neuharth Media Center, on the University of South Dakota’s Vermillion campus.

Accepted students are placed in an appropriate course based on their experience, interests and previous coursework. Students attend AIJI for free and receive other financial assistance, including room and board during the program and a scholarship/stipend upon completion of the program.

AIJI students also may be eligible for 2 hours of college credit.

After successful completion of the program, top AIJI graduates are hired for paid summer internships as reporters, copy editors, photographers or multimedia journalists with daily newspapers and with The Associated Press. Interns must be licensed drivers and provide their own vehicles.

For inquiries and applications, contact Janine Harris at jharris@freedomforum.org or 605/677-5424.

Magazine Internship Opportunity

Seattle Business magazine is a monthly publication that seeks to educate and enlighten its readers, most of whom are in a management role at a small or midsize business. We are primarily a magazine about movers and shakers throughout Washington state, from large businesses to innovative startups, always looking for boundary-pushing stories on economics, health care, nonprofits and public policy. Our goal is to be the best regional business publication in the country by covering business and the economy with intelligence, depth and timeliness. 

Our internship program is an important part of achieving those goals. Interns at Seattle Business work closely with the editorial team to craft each issue. We practice journalism in its purest form: We want to find out and tell our readers what is really happening, why it is happening and what may happen in the future, and we tell these stories with thorough reporting and compelling writing. 

Responsibilities
As an editorial intern, you are likely to have a memorable experience shaped by your particular strengths and initiative. Typical intern responsibilities include fact-checking all stories with primary sources (we have an established procedure for this, but it does involves a fair amount of phone/email work), writing much of the front “Startup” section of each issue and compiling the business events calendar. Interns are also called upon to write blog posts for the website, develop and research story ideas, attend editorial department brainstorming and planning meetings, conduct interviews, perform other editorial-related clerical work, and write longer stories for the magazine. Interns usually work on a six-month contract for 20 hours per week. A $100 stipend is paid at the end of the internship.

What do you get out of it?
Knowledge, experience and a great set of clips. Specifically, if you are interested in journalism, you will find yourself working both as a writer and editor alongside professionals who will take your improvement to heart. We want to see you develop as a member of our team and undertake more and larger responsibilities. Business journalism, in particular, poses its own distinctive set of challenges, and it is an ideal proving ground for those who like pursuing stories about big ideas that shape the economy of the state and the lives of people who live here. At the heart of every story, however, are people, and you will find yourself talking with many different kinds, some of whom have cool ideas, some of whom might be a bit loopy, but all of whom have an interesting story to tell. That, at the end of the day, is what we’re doing here at Seattle Business: telling interesting stories.

Application Procedure
Send a completed application with your résumé and your best writing samples to:

and, in another project, help one village guarantee a safe water supply. 
Each student will take on a leadership role in our group to explore personal
talents and values as we travel and contribute to an ongoing dialogue about
what leadership means in our own lives, in India, and in the world.

family.
 
*       Laze on an overnight houseboat journey down the world-famous Kerala
backwaters?then spend two nights in the ashram of a humanitarian guru.
 
*       Possibly see some wild elephants ? and definitely ride at least one
tame one.

Thursday, February 16th at 2:30pm in UW's Allen Auditorium (in the Allen Library)

In what ways does the food on your plate reflect struggles over individual
and corporate rights, genetic engineering, and international trade? 
 
On Thursday, February 16, the Clowes Center for the Study of Conflict and
Dialogue will screen The Future of Food, a documentary about the complex
issues surrounding the massive changes happening in the food system today. 
In the words of the film?s director, Deborah Koons Garcia,
?(t)his is a film that is not just watched, it's used. It motivates people
to take action, even if it's just voting with their fork. The Future of Food
has already helped influence policy. It's exciting to think that the film
could have a role in creating a healthier future for everyone.?
 
Our guest speaker will be Heather Day, Co-Founder of the Community Alliance
for Global Justice (CAGJ) and UW alumnus.  She will describe some of the
work that CAGJ does to build local, sustainable food practices in Washington
and around the world.  Questions from the audience are encouraged.
Thursday, February 16th at 2:30pm in UW?s Allen Auditorium.
 
The Future of Food is the second installment of the Clowes Center?s
quarterly film/speaker series, ?Rethinking Citizenship, Democracy and
Activism: Local-Global Entanglements.?  Our spring quarter film will be 23rd
and Union.  Directed by Rafael Flores, this docu-drama weaves real
interviews with fictional characters to investigate the 2008 murder of
Degene Berecha in the popular Seattle restaurant ?Philadelphia
Cheese-Steak?.  The film is an ADAPTED story, based on a range of stories by
people acquainted with the victim and convicted murderer.  It is used as a
vehicle to discuss gentrification and the tension between young
African-American men, Ethiopian immigrants and gay couples in Seattle?s
Central District.  Flores will be on hand after the screening for a
discussion period.
Thursday, May 3 at 7:00pm in the Langston Hughes Performing Arts Center.
 
For more information, please see our website:
http://depts.washington.edu/clowes1/.
We look forward to seeing you at the screenings!

Environment Washington is a statewide, citizen-based environmental advocacy
group, working to protect open spaces, protect Puget Sound and protect our
air.  Right now, I?m working to address the growing problem of plastic
pollution in Puget Sound, especially because of the profound impact it has
on marine wildlife, by banning plastic bags.
 
Environment Washington is part of the Environment America federation, a
federation of 29 state-based environmental groups.  Each year, Environment
America hires passionate, talented and committed college graduates to join
our two-year Fellowship Program. 
 
Students hired as fellows with Environment America:
 
?         Plan and run their own campaigns ? for example, in Washington, I
am working to protect Puget Sound marine wildlife by banning plastic bags.
 
 
 
?         Research and identify effective solutions to critical
environmental problems.  Fellows build and mobilize the political power it
takes to make those solutions a reality.
 
 
 
?         Lobby lawmakers; publish opinion pieces in major newspapers and on
key websites; set up and speak at news conferences; organize town hall
meetings and rallies; and run citizen outreach campaigns to educate the
public, build membership and raise money for our work.  And fellows recruit
interns, activists, and staff to work alongside you.
 
 
 
?         Bottom line: Fellows make a real difference.
 
 
 
?        Fellows get the training they need to make that
difference.  Fellows attend classroom-style trainings throughout the year,
and work alongside some of the nation?s top environmental advocates and
organizers, and learn the most through hands-on experience.  
 
 
 
The fellowship is just the beginning.  After just two years of hard work,
fellows have the skills and experience to take on even more leadership here
at Environment America or elsewhere in the environmental community.

Info session in Padelford C-101: Weds 2/8 at 3:30
When you think of Bavaria, do you think of the giant beer steins and
sausages of Oktoberfest?  A well-tuned society with Germany's highest
standard of living?  Or do you think of the horrific rise of the Nazi
party?  Or the current ban on teachers wearing headscarves to work?
Our one-month program will attempt to trace the various efforts towards
defining national identity in modern Bavaria, traveling to medieval style
castles, Nazi bunkers, the site of the Nuremberg trials, the Olympic Park,
Munich's celebrated new Jewish Museum, and many others.  We will be based in
Munich, which Lonely Planet describes as "sexy, sophisticated and
self-confident ? a trove of cultural delights and a relaxed flair".  6

New York Times
620 EIGHTH AVE.
NEW YORK, N.Y. 10018-1405
   
This year the New York Times Student Journalism Institute will celebrate its 10th anniversary. The eager young student journalists who attended in the early years have now gone on to careers at news organizations large and small. Nearly a dozen work at The New York Times; others are at The Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Associated Press and Politico, to name just a few.

That’s as much a testimonial to the students as it is to the Institute, which was founded on the belief that giving an opportunity to the brightest aspiring journalists would pay dividends for all of journalism. But while the Institute can provide the opportunity, we must have your help to obtain the students. The decade-long success of the Institute is due to you and others like   you who have made it possible to match great students to a great opportunity. 
We are looking for reporters, copy editors, photographers, designers, Web producers and video journalists. To be   eligible they must be student members of the National Association of Black   Journalists or students enrolled at an HBCU.  

The deadline: Feb. 25. 
The program will be held May 13 through 27.
 
As always, students accepted into the Institute will have all their expenses paid, and will receive a small stipend. It is a cornerstone of the program that no one who has the talent will be denied an opportunity because of lack of financial means.
More information and a look at the work of students at previous Institutes is available at www.nytimes-institute.com.
 
If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at (212) 556-1576 or e-  mail me at hecker@nytimes.com.

The Department will be hosting Susan Douglas the week of 13 Feb as this quarter's Stice Lecturer. Dr. Douglas is the Chair of Communication Studies at the University of Michigan and a scholar of many stripes. She is most well-known for her work on gender representations in the media as well as media history and technology.
 
Her visit to campus will involve two large lectures to which everyone is invited. I encourage you to promote both among your undergraduates, and have appended abstracts and attached to this email the posters for her visit.
 
If you would like to have Susan Douglas visit your class or if you'd like some one-on-one time with her (she will have an office here that week), please let me know by this Friday with specifics. We are allocating her time on campus across seven units, and will try to accommodate requests to the best of our ability.
 
Tuesday, 14 Feb, 3:30p in Kane 210
Stice Lecture: "The rise of enlightened sexism: How pop culture took us from girl power to girls gone wild"
 
Today we once again have ?a problem with no name??meaning that millions of young women?the girl power generation?have been told that they can do or be anything, yet they also know their most important task is to be slim, ?hot,? and non-threatening to men. Susan Douglas chronicles the rise of Enlightened Sexism, a new, subtle, sneaky form of sexism that seems to
accept?even celebrate?female achievements on the surface, but is really about repudiating feminism and keeping women, especially young women, in their place. Her book examines the widening gap between the images of women in the media and the everyday lives of girls and women in the United States. NPR called Enlightened Sexism ?brilliant, insightful and funny? and
Publisher?s Weekly described it as ?a sharp-witted polemic against the media?s stereotyping of females and feminism.?
 
Wednesday, 15 Feb, 3:30p in CMU 120
Scheidel Lecture: "Starstruck: The explosion of celebrity journalism and corrosion of the nightly news since 9/11"
 
This lecture will analyze the rise of celebrity culture since the turn of the century and the concomitant decline in international and hard news on television, and place these twin phenomena within the broader context of the aftermath of 9/11. The talk will document these trends, and note especially the gendered and demographic dynamics that have fueled and are reinforced by them. The talk will consider the role of national politics and media consolidation in contributing to this state of affairs, and will also ask whether we are, as a result, experiencing increased ethnocentrism and parochialism in our culture as a result.

current issues surrounding sustainability in Ecuador, and read and write a

The new "Against Our Will Challenge," featuring a $10,000 prize furnished by LexisNexis Legal & Professional, calls on college students nationwide to imagine innovative digital tools that raise awareness of modern-day slavery, while encouraging action to help stop the human rights atrocity. The winning individual - or team of up to five people - will be recognized with the $10,000 prize and have the chance to work with mtvU and LexisNexis Legal & Professional to see the idea actualized as a core element of the "mtvU Against Our Will Campaign." For more information on how to enter the "Against Our Will Challenge," which could include proposals for games, SMS-based services and social media widgets, among other tools, please visit http://challenge.againstourwill.org. The "Against Our Will Challenge" is the latest project in a string of successful student-led initiatives at MTV and mtvU, including "My College Dollars," "Darfur is Dyi!
ng," "Pos or Not," "Debt Ski" and "Draw Your Line," which have collectively reached more than 3 million users, resulted in more than 15 million game plays and led to nearly half a million actions taken.
 
mtvU's new initiatives are part of the "mtvU Against Our Will Campaign," which, in partnership with Free the Slaves, Girls Educational and Mentoring Services (GEMS) and Polaris Project, taps into the growing student movement to end modern-day slavery. The campaign makes it easy for young people to take action to help stop one of the greatest human rights atrocities of our time. According to The National Human Trafficking Resource Center (NHTRC) hotline, incidences of sex and labor trafficking have been reported in all 50 states in the U.S. in the last year.
 
As defined under U.S. federal law, victims of human trafficking include children induced into the sex trade, adults age 18 or over who are coerced or forced into commercial sex acts, and anyone forced or deceived into different forms of "labor or services," such as domestic workers held in a home, or farm-workers forced to labor against their will.  Every year, human traffickers generate billions of dollars in profits by victimizing millions of people around the world, and here in the United States. Human trafficking is considered to be one of the fastest growing criminal industries in the world (source:  U.S. Department of Health and Human Services).
 
The "mtvU Against our Will Campaign" was launched in September 2011 at the Clinton Global Initiative Annual Meeting; for more information on the campaign, visit www.mtvU.AgainstOurWill.org or mtvU.com.

Join award-winning authors Bill Dietrich, Thor Hanson, and Judith Roche, 
in a workshop devoted to writing about the environment. Based at the Burke 
Museum, this one-day program will include classroom and field-based 
sessions. Judith, Thor, and Bill bring unique and complementary 
perspectives as naturalists, journalists, instructors, and historians who

A new style of writer has begun to explore the relationship between people 
and place. Their writing brings in not only plants and animals, but also 
the human inhabitants, past and present, who dwell on the land. In doing 
so, they are forging a new way to look at nature and to develop deeper 
connections to place.

2012-2013 exchange program with Sichuan University in China.   This is a home 
tuition program providing students a very affordable way to study in China in a 
structured and supportive environment.  (Because it's home tuition, financial

     The UW-Sichuan University Undergraduate Exchange Program is a
     unique chance for UW students to not only live and study in China
     but to engage in a hands-on, self-directed research project
     overseas. The two or three quarter program offers intensive
     Chinese language training, additional classes offered in English
     and an amazing chance for students to research a topic of their
     own choosing. Sichuan University's location in western China means
     that students have the opportunity to travel and do research in
     places such as a national park in the eastern Himalayas or remote
     minority villages in southern Sichuan. The program is open to all
     majors and is a great opportunity to make huge gains in Chinese
     language skills and to really engage with China.
