requirement is only French 103 (or its equivalent), and our program
welcomes all students, no matter what their major or minor is. The

*Summer A-Term Creative Writing in Rome Information Session*
 
The Creative Writing in Rome Information Session has been rescheduled
for TUESDAY, JANUARY 31 @ 3:30 pm in the lobby of the Creative Writing
Office, room B25 Padelford Hall.
 
The Creative Writing Office is located in the B Wing (the middle section) of 
Padelford Hall, on the LL Level. (The LL level is above the PL Level and below 
Level 1--see below for more detailed directions.)
 
The Summer Creative Writing in Rome Program is open to anyone (undergraduates, 
graduates, alumni, citizens-at-large) seeking to join an intensive program in 
the written arts. All majors are welcome to apply. No experience is presumed; a 
wide range of experience is anticipated.
 
We hope to see you there!
 
Rebecca Hoogs, Program Faculty
Johnny Horton, Program Faculty
Bridget Norquist, Academic Adviser
 
Detailed program information is also available on our website:
 
http://depts.washington.edu/engl/abroad/romesummer12.php
 
The application deadline is February 15, 2012
 
You are also more than welcome to contact us if you have questions!
 
DIRECTIONS to the Creative Writing Office:
 
If you have not been to the Creative Writing Office before, or if
Padelford's labyrinthine hallways make you feel like you're trapped in
some kind of retro science fiction movie, see below:
 
From the A Wing Entrance:
 
If you enter the building from Stevens Way on the A Wing side (the side
closest to Hall Health and the HUB) take the A-wing elevator down to the
LL Level. Turn left, and walk down the hallway and through two sets of
doors (you'll pass through a little breezeway). Just past the English
Graduate Lounge and the wall that says "The English Department's World
of Writing" you'll see the Creative Writing Office on your right. If you
go through another door and end up outside again, you've gone too far.
 
From the C Wing Entrance:
 
If you enter from Stevens Way on the C Wing Side (the side across the
street from the Communications building and next to the bus stop) take
the C-wing elevator down to the LL Level. You'll see the Statistics
Office in front of you as you step off the elevator. Turn left, go out
the door and walk straight across to the B Wing. The hallway will make a
bend to the right, and then the Creative Writing Office will be on your
left. If you come to the wall that says "The English Department's World
of Writing" or if you go through another set of doors and another
breezeway, you've gone too far.

Bosnia, Croatia & Serbia: One European Future Together?
Summer 2012 Study Abroad
Information session Thursday, 1/26 at 12:30 in C-101 Padelford.
 
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 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. 
 
This program is open to all majors, eligible for federal financial aid, and
has no minimum GPA.  Apply now!

Das Deutsche Problem: Human Rights and Cultural Conflict in Bavaria
Summer 2012 Study Abroad in Munich:
Info sessions in Padelford C-101: Weds 1/25 at 3:30 & Fri 1/27 at 1:30
 
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". 
 
This 5-credit program is open to all majors, eligible for federal financial
aid, and has no minimum GPA.  Ability to speak German is not required. 
Apply now!

Dear students,
 
If you were planning on coming to our third and final info session this afternoon, it is, of
course cancelled (and FYI, the weather in Barbados today is a high of 82, low of 75…Seattle
36/28).  Because of our impending deadline (Feb. 1) and lack of available rooms, we will not be
able to squeeze in another Barbados info session before your applications are due.  HOWEVER, OMA/D
is hosting a Study Abroad info session next Tuesday, January 24 in Condon Hall Rm. 711E from
2:30-4pm.  I will be there for part of the time, and my TA for next summer, Mr. Maurice (Reece)
Dolberry will also be there for part of the time.  We are happy to answer your questions at that
session.  In addition, representatives from IPE will be in attendance to provide you with
information about all other aspects of the process, including applying for scholarships and
financial aid.
 
 
 
Here are some tidbits I was going to share at the info session this afternoon.
 
Tips for a successful application:
 
·         Do not delay in completing your applications.  Today is a gift of free time so use it
well. 
 
·         If you have not yet asked for letters of rec please do so now!  As soon as you have your
recommenders lined up send them an official prompt through the system.  As a reminder, please be
sure to get letters of recommendation from a professor, TA, boss, internship supervisor, etc., who
knows you WELL.  Do NOT get a letter from a peer.
 
·         Spend some quality time crafting your answers for the short answer questions.  Please
proofread!
 
·         Timeline: Applications due Feb. 1.  After we receive your completed application you may
receive an invitation to participate in a group interview, which will take place the week of
February 6.  We will inform you as to your status (accepted, waitlisted, rejected) by February 15,
and we will ask all accepted students to commit to the program and return all necessary paperwork
by March 1.
 
 
 
I am attaching the draft syllabus and a flier.  Feel free to shoot me any questions.
 
 
 
Take care,
Ralina/Prof. Joseph

Munich, Germany - Das Deutsche Problem: Human Rights and Cultural Conflict in Bavaria
https://depts.washington.edu/chid/munich.2012SUM
June 24 to July 21, 6 credits
This program will explore historical evolution and conflict within social, political, racial, religious, and cultural constructs – focused on events occurring within and emanating from the Bavarian region of Germany. Famous for its picturesque mountains and castles, for centuries Bavaria has also been a crucible for wrenching social change, and has fostered radical domestic policy and world-views ranging from "Mad" King Ludwig to the Third Reich. Students will learn and debate the philosophy and practice of social engineering within the German historical context – while touring the actual sites where the policies originated and were put into practice.

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).
 
Bosnia, Croatia and Serbia: One European Future Together?
https://depts.washington.edu/chid/BCS.2012.SUM

This program examines in depth the Yugoslav conflict and its aftermath, with special emphasis on the roots of the conflict, international intervention, post-conflict transition and the role of EU integration in the long term development of these three states and the Western Balkan region they will influence. Our seven previous programs 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.

June 15 - July 16, 2012 (note: modified A-Term dates)
 
INFORMATION SESSION: Friday, January 20 @ 3:30 pm in Savery Hall, room 132.
 
The Summer Creative Writing in Rome Program is open to anyone (undergraduates, 
graduates, alumni, citizens-at-large) seeking to join an intensive program in 
the written arts. No creative writing experience is presumed; a wide range of 
experience is anticipated.
 
JOIN a band of ink-stained writer-adventurers for a month of concentrated 
exercise and conversation in and about the Eternal City. This is Rome from a 
generalists's perspective: history and geography, art and architecture, 
language and literature, the color and vagary and flavor of daily life all 
constellate in the writer's notebook. Following in the footsteps of those 
poets, painters, saints and soldiers who for some two and a half millennia have 
traveled where all roads lead, we'll sack the city word by cobble, in 
conversation, practice, and stride.

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.

Rights, Governance and Culture in Sustainable Access to Water
Study Abroad in Leon, Spain
Summer 2012
June 18 - July 25, 2012
 
UW School of Law and the UW Program on the Environment
 
Water issues in Spain are vivid and pressing, involving questions of
fairness and sustainability. There is a new focus on the impact of water
institutions as part of the social fabric and as important structures in the
country?s physical and social landscapes. In this program, we will be studying
examples from a number of countries that illustrate the challenges of
achieving and maintaining just, sustainable and environmentally sound water
allocation, but we will come to understand the Spanish countryside in
particular as we study the global challenges of water justice and
environmental sustainability. An extended field trip with European water
rights specialists is an integral part of the course.

As a student on this program, your perspective will be from the city of
Ioannina, in the northwest of Greece, a university town large enough to
provide needs for our program, but small enough that students have been able
to become familiar with people and places there without becoming lost or
feeling anonymous. It is also the site of important historical developments
that are relevant to the academic content of the program. Reminders of the
past are abundant both in the city and the surrounding region, which is
physically attractive, with its interplay between mountains and canyons and
valleys. It was the seat of power for the Ottoman Albanian ruler Ali Pasha,
and is the largest city in Epirus, a region over which sovereignty is still
contested by some Albanians and Greeks. The Albanian University of
Gjirokasta is nearby, serving our program as a site for a visit, during
which they can experience a different perspective on regional tensions with
students at the University.

Art History the Netherlands:
Dutch Art in The Netherlands and Belgium
 
Estimated Program Dates: June 18 ? August 17, 2012
Credits: 15 Program
Directors: Marek K. Wieczorek and Steven Bunn (Art History)
 
  There are few countries that can boast an art tradition as rich as the Netherlands. Who has not heard of the art of Rembrandt, Vermeer and Van Gogh? This 9-week study abroad opportunity will offer the study of Dutch art in cultural context, from early Netherlandish artists, such as Van Eyck, to the present day, including architecture, urban planning and design. The program will be based in Amsterdam and branch out to different cities in the country (The Hague, Rotterdam, Utrecht, Haarlem, among others). We will end with a week in Belgium to study early Netherlandish and Flemish art in Antwerp, Brussels, Bruges and Ghent. Students from a variety of disciplines and levels are encouraged to apply who wish to see the art and culture of the Netherlands come to life by experiencing it first hand.
 
Lectures will be regularly held on the University of Amsterdam campus to provide training in both the content and methods of art history, but much of the learning and discovering will take place in the museums, along the canals, and in front of the monuments of Amsterdam and other cities of the Netherlands. Students will research and present topics based on their own interests. Guest lectures, bike tours, city walks, and research days will be scheduled during the week, leaving ample free time to explore. Using the rich traditions of Amsterdam and the Low Countries, this program will introduce participants to exciting modes of thinking about and looking at art, architecture, and Dutch culture.

Bosnia, Croatia, Serbia and the EU: One European Future Together? is an
interdisciplinary program that examines in depth the Yugoslav conflict and
its aftermath, with special emphasis on the roots of the conflict,
international intervention, post-conflict transition and the role of EU
integration in the long term development of these three states and the
Western Balkan region they will influence. Our seven previous programs 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.

What happens when a ?minority? passes as a member of the ?majority??  What
happens when a ?majority? group member finds herself standing out as a
?minority??  In this summer study abroad in the Eastern Caribbean nation of
Barbados, we will re-think, or more accurately, rupture, our narratives of
race, beauty, intelligence, culture, politics, and power.  Study abroad
students will embark upon a Black Cultural Studies analysis to discern the
many ways in which Barbados is communicated.  By centering our course on
Barbadian representations of culture, tourism, and race, students will begin
to think globally about the ways in which power operates.  We will pay
particular attention to the ways in which Blackness is scripted and
re-scripted in Barbados, a majority-Black country (with approximately 90% of
the population having African descent), as opposed to in the United States,
a minority-Black country (with approximately 14% of the population having
African descent).

This is the last call for applications to do the Kenya Study Abroad Program
this winter 2012. Applications are due tomorrow, November 30th. There are
still a couple openings for the UW Tacoma Kenya study abroad course this
Winter quarter.  Students focused on conservation and sustainable
development from all three campuses are welcome to apply.
 
The Kenya program provides students with access to areas of Kenya and
corresponding first-hand experiences that are possible because of
relationships that have been built over the past several years between UWT
faculty and Kenyan colleagues. For example, part of the course involves
traveling to the Arabuko-Sokoke Forest near the community of Watamu on the
Indian Ocean. Here students will have the chance to work with a
world-renowned  ornithologist collecting data on the birds of this forest,
including six species that are on the brink of extinction.
 
Students will get experience in constructing mist nets and helping collect
vital information (species/age/sex/weight/condition) about the birds before
they "ring" them (placing a uniquely numbered metal ring or band on the
birds' "ankle") and release them back into the wild. Participation in this
course affords students the opportunity to help with an ongoing
collaborative research project between UW Tacoma faculty and local Kenyan
scientists. Conducted in collaboration with the Kenya Wildlife Service, this
research is focused on the intersection of elephant management and bird and
arthropod conservation in the Arabuko-Sokoke Forest. As the
forest is ringed by 50+ villages whose residents (from the Giriami tribe)
depend on local resources for survival,  students will get a chance to
engage in a deeper understanding of how elephant crop raids, human forest
poaching activities, and conservation efforts in the region collide in a
complex system of interacting dynamics. Students participating in this
course in the past have gone on to return either as field research
assistants with UWT faculty, or on their own doing their own graduate school
field work.
 
The Arabuko-Sokoke Forest and corresponding ecological research is just one
stop on the Kenya program; other activities include working with the Watamu
Turtle Watch on green sea turtle conservation (patrolling beaches for
nesting turtles, helping release turtles caught in fishing nets) as well as
working with water quality issues in communities on the coast as well as in
the Samburu region of Kenya.

The UW Office of Merit Scholarships, Fellowships & Awards will be providing
one more information session about the Boren Undergraduate Scholarship for
undergraduate students to help orient them to the program and application
process:
  *  Wednesday, November 30, 4:30-5:20 in MGH 171
The Boren Undergraduate Scholarship Program provides up to $20,000 for US
undergraduate students to study abroad in areas of the world that are
critical to US interests and underrepresented in study abroad, including
Africa, Asia, Central & Eastern Europe, Eurasia, Latin America, and the
Middle East. The countries of Western Europe, Canada, Australia, and New
Zealand are excluded. Most languages are supported, except those of Western
Europe.
 
Boren Scholarships are funded by the National Security Education Program
(NSEP), which focuses on geographic areas, languages, and fields of study
deemed critical to U.S. national security. Applicants should identify how
their study abroad program, as well as their future academic and career
goals, will contribute to U.S. national security, broadly defined.  NSEP
draws on a broad definition of national security, recognizing that the scope
of national security has expanded to include not only the traditional
concerns of protecting and promoting American well-being, but also the
challenges of global society, including sustainable development,
environmental degradation, global disease and hunger, population growth and
migration, and economic competitiveness. Receipts of this scholarship do
incur a government service requirement, which for many students provides a
valuable foot in the federal employment door.
 
Undergraduate applicants must apply through UW to be considered for the
Boren Undergraduate Scholarship Program. UW's campus deadline for
undergraduate applicants at all three campuses is January 11, 2012 for study
abroad programs during the 2012-13 academic year. Additional information
about UW's application process is available at
https://www.washington.edu/students/ugrad/scholar/scholarships/s/boren.
 
Boren Graduate Fellowships are also available for graduate students, details
are at http://borenawards.org/boren_fellowship. There is no Boren campus
application process at the graduate level; the national deadline for the
Boren Graduate Fellowship is January 31, 2012. Helene Obradovich in the
Graduate School Office of Fellowships & Awards is the point of contact for
graduate students interested in this program (helene@uw.edu).
 
Thank you again for your efforts to let students know about these wonderful
opportunities!  
Sincerely,

Just a reminder: the deadline for priority consideration of Argentina Study
Abroad program applications is tomorrow at 5 p.m. We will continue to accept
applications thereafter but don't wait too long - there's only space for 12
students total. Students from all 3 UW campuses are welcome to apply.
 
The Argentina study abroad program consists of two courses:
 
The Geography of Buenos Aires (T URB 379 - Urban Field Experience) will
primarily involve field work throughout the city, examining a range of
topics related to Buenos Aires. Examples include the history and
architecture of the city, social issues such as homelessness, environmental
issues especially as relates to water pollution, and economic problems
confronting the metropolitan area. The course will involve site visits
around the city and include academic exercises on these various topics.
 
The program also includes a Spanish language learning course at the
Universidad de Tres de Febrero. This is a beginner's course and will help
students communicate with their host families and navigate the city.
 
For students with Spanish language skills, there is the option to do an
internship with Hecho en Buenos Aires, an organization that works with the
homeless and produces the publication by the same name. The magazine is sold
by the homeless to the general public. Interns may work in the publications
office or directly with the homeless depending on their interests.

before they "ring" them (placing a uniquely numbered metal ring or band
on the birds' "ankle") and release them back into the wild. Participation
in this course affords students the opportunity to help with an ongoing
collaborative research project between UW Tacoma faculty and local Kenyan
scientists. Conducted in collaboration with the Kenya Wildlife Service,
this research is focused on the intersection of elephant management and
bird and arthropod conservation in the Arabuko-Sokoke Forest.  As the
forest is ringed by 50+ villages whose residents (from the Giriami tribe)
depend on local resources for survival,  students will get a chance to
engage in a deeper understanding of how elephant crop raids, human forest
poaching activities, and conservation efforts in the region collide in a
complex system of interacting dynamics. Students participating in this
course in the past have gone on to return either as field research
assistants with UWT faculty, or on their own doing their own graduate
school field work.
 
The Arabuko-Sokoke Forest and corresponding ecological research is just
one stop on the Kenya program; other activities include working with the
Watamu Turtle Watch on green sea turtle conservation (patrolling beaches
for nesting turtles, helping release turtles caught in fishing nets) as
well as working with water quality issues in communities on the coast as
well as in the Samburu region of Kenya.

The application deadline for the Leon, Spain Spring 2012 Study abroad is
this coming MONDAY, NOVEMBER 7.  This is an extraordinary opportunity to
live, learn, and explore in the beautiful region of Castilla y Le?n, Spain.
The UW's newest international center provides an idyllic setting to learn
about the global repercussions of 20th Century Spanish History and to
immerse oneself in Spanish Language and Culture. 
 
Program participants will be able to either build on their knowledge of
Spanish or begin their study of the language with excellent teachers through
the University of Le?n. Only a 3 hour train ride from Madrid, Le?n is a small
yet beautiful city with unique architecture and fantastic cuisine.
 
For more information and application details contact the program director,
Glennys Young, glennys@uw.edu and visit the Honors website and the IPE
Studio Abroad site
http://depts.washington.edu/uwhonors/international/leon/
 
Title of Program: "History, Memory, Performance: The Spanish Civil War in a
Global Context."
Location: Leon, Spain
Department: Honors
Dates: March 26, 2012 - June 1, 2012
Estimated Program Fee: $7,700 (tuition, room, board included)
Credits: 15 (credits will count toward the Honors core. Credits may also
count toward International Studies, History or Drama.)
Application Deadline: November 7, 2011
 
In this program we will examine the ethics of representing the past in both
history and theatre, and the complex relationship between the two. 
 
This program will look at the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) as a pivotal
crisis of the twentieth century, whose historiography remains fraught with
deep passions, geographic prejudices and increasingly complex archives of
evidence. The Spanish Civil War has been historicized in contradictory ways:
from "the last good cause" to "a communist sham" to a "testing ground for
World War II." Though the events from 1936 to 1939 remain riddled with
conflicted evidence and steeped in emotion, one thing is certain: for three
years, Spain was the center of the world. As such, it posed prescient
dilemmas in terms of international hopes, dreams and ethics, dilemmas with
which some of the most famous artists, journalists and politicians of the
twentieth century grappled: What is the relationship between ethics and
representation? Between memory, fiction, and truth? Between conviction,
activism, and accountability? What is the responsibility of the historian in
relationship to these questions? Of the playwright? Of artists more
generally? Indeed, of the global citizen? Such dilemmas continue to haunt us
in the present day.
 
The program will be based in Le?n, Spain, a rich site through which to engage
with the Spanish Civil War and the local and national lives, memories and
histories it continues to touch. There will also be excursions to Guernica,
Bilbao, Madrid and Salamanca.  Students will live with Spanish families in
Le?n. The University of Washington's Le?n Center will assist in placing students
with Spanish families. Students who do not speak Spanish will be placed with
a host who can communicate in English. 
 
All students are welcome to apply.  Apply

Critical Language and Boren scholarship information session  Oct. 20, Thursday, 3:30, MGH 171 

For students interested in studying languages abroad.

The UW Office of
Merit Scholarships, Fellowships & Awards will be providing information
sessions for undergraduate students interested in these opportunities to
help orient them to the programs and application processes:
  *  Tomorrow, Thursday, October 20, 3:30-5:00pm in MGH 171 (will cover both
     CLS & Boren)
  *  Monday, November 14, 2:30-3:20pm in MGH 171 (will cover Boren only)
  *  Wednesday, November 30, 4:30-5:20 in MGH 171 (will cover Boren only)
 
The Critical Language Scholarship Program (http://clscholarship.org/): this
summer program provides fully-funded eight to ten week group-based intensive
language instruction and extensive cultural enrichment experiences held
overseas at the beginning, intermediate and advanced levels of Arabic,
Azerbaijani, Bangla/Bengali, Chinese, Hindi, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean,
Persian, Punjabi, Russian, Turkish, and Urdu. Eligibility details and
language levels and prerequisites are explained at
http://clscholarship.org/applicants.htm.
 
Applications are now available online, and the national deadline is November
15, 2011.
 
The Boren Undergraduate Scholarship Program
(http://borenawards.org/boren_scholarship) provides up to $20,000 for US
undergraduate students to study abroad in areas of the world that are
critical to US interests and underrepresented in study abroad, including
Africa, Asia, Central & Eastern Europe, Eurasia, Latin America, and the
Middle East. The countries of Western Europe, Canada, Australia, and New
Zealand are excluded. Most languages are supported, except those of Western
Europe. Boren Scholarships are funded by the National Security Education
Program (NSEP), which focuses on geographic areas, languages, and fields of
study deemed critical to U.S. national security. Applicants should identify
how their study abroad program, as well as their future academic and career
goals, will contribute to U.S. national security, broadly defined.  NSEP
draws on a broad definition of national security, recognizing that the scope
of national security has expanded to include not only the traditional
concerns of protecting and promoting American well-being, but also the
challenges of global society, including sustainable development,
environmental degradation, global disease and hunger, population growth and
migration, and economic competitiveness. Receipt of this scholarship does
incur a government service requirement, which for many students provides a
valuable foot in the federal employment door.
 
Undergraduate applicants must apply through UW to be considered for the
Boren Undergraduate Scholarship Program. UW's campus deadline for
undergraduate applicants at all three campuses is January 11, 2012 for study
abroad programs during the 2012-13 academic year.
 
Both programs are also open to graduate students. CLS processes are
identical for both undergraduate and graduate applicants. Boren Graduate
Fellowship details are at http://borenawards.org/boren_fellowship. There is
no Boren campus application process at the graduate level; the national
deadline for the Boren Graduate Fellowship is January 31, 2012. Helene
Obradovich in the Graduate School Office of Fellowships & Awards is the
point of contact for graduate students interested in this program
(helene@uw.edu).
 
In addition to the support you provide, our office is another resource for
undergraduates working on these or any other scholarship applications.
 
Thank you again for your efforts to let students know about these wonderful
opportunities!
 
Sincerely,

APPLY NOW -- SPEND WINTER QUARTER IN ROME!
Apply by October 7
 
 
Staging the City: Rome and the Performance of Power
January 5 - March 9, 2012
15 Credits
 
Information Sessions: Monday, Oct. 3, 3:00 p.m., MGH 206, Honors
Multipurpose Room
 
Wed, Oct. 5, 11:00 a.m., MGH 211B, Honors Seminar room
 
 
The University of Washington Honors Program is excited to offer its seventh
annual winter-quarter study abroad program, "Staging the City: Rome and the
Performance of Power." Students will earn 15 credits of Honors (Honors 230
(10), and Honors 391 (5)) OR Drama credits (Drama 499). Alternative credits
are available per departmental preapproval.
 
?Rome: Performing Power in the City? will use 2,000 years of performance
traditions, literature, painting, and architecture to consider how Rome
created, maintained, and circulated its own image of imperial and cultural
power first as the heart of the Roman Empire, then as the capital of
Catholic Christendom, later as a city of Papal Princes, and the epicenter of
high culture on any European tour, and finally, under Mussolini, as the site
of the new (Old) Empire.
 
How Rome occupied its unique charismatic position in European history is
largely a product of its own self-promotion. Rome the city invented Rome the
ideal, fashioned and re-fashioned itself across the centuries, and those
acts of invention can be read as a powerful performance of civic identity.
Combining the architecture of the city with plays, art, pageants,
spectacles, gladiatorial games and opera, all staged to promote the values
of Rome, we consider how the city fashioned its own identity as the center
of power and culture from Classical Empire through the Enlightenment, to the
restoration of empire under Mussolini: Roma Eterna, remained eternal by
re-staging itself.
 
The course will include excursions to main historical sites of the city with
instruction in both ancient and contemporary art in Rome and the surrounding
area. A sampling of excursions may include: the Pantheon, Vatican City, the
Colosseum, E.U.R., Contemporary Art Museum, the Forum, and Ostia Antica.
Rome is centrally located and the class will take advantage of day and over
night trips to Florence, Sienna, and Naples.

For graduating seniors, recent graduates, and graduate students in all fields interested in doing research or a program of study in Germany starting fall 2012. The German Academic Exchange Service's (DAAD) Study Scholarships provide highly qualified individuals in all fields of study with an opportunity to do independent study/research in Germany or to complete a full Master's degree program at a German university. The program provides 1-2 years of generous funding. Please note that international students who have attended UW (or other US institution) for at least 2 years are also eligible.

Scholarships for Research or Graduate Study in Germany
 
The German Academic Exchange Service's (DAAD) Study Scholarships provide
highly qualified individuals in all fields of study with an opportunity to
do independent study/research in Germany or to complete a full Master's
degree program at a German university. Graduating seniors, recent alumni and
graduate students are eligible to apply, including foreign nationals
attending US universities (see complete eligibility details below).
 
The program provides scholarships for one academic year (2012-13) with the
possibility of a 1-year extension for those completing a full degree program
in Germany; a monthly living stipend of approximately 750 Euro, health
insurance, and a travel subsidy of 1425 Euro. Limited additional funds may
be available for a rent subsidy and family allowance.
 
This year's application cycle is for research or study in Germany during the
2012-13 year (with the possibility of extension to include 2013-14).
Complete information about this scholarship program and application
materials are available at
http://daad.org/page/gradstudy/index.v3page;jsessionid=icq0qgpvrqm0.
 
UW is a partner university within this program, which gives UW students and
alumni several options for applying, depending on field:
  *  Applicants in all fields EXCEPT music, visual arts and performing arts*
     wishing to compete for UW's one priority nomination must submit their
     applications by the campus deadline of Oct. 31, 2011 at 12:00pm (noon).
     Priority nomination provides competition in a smaller pool of national
     applications.
  *  Applicants in all fields EXCEPT music, visual arts and performing arts*
     not wishing to compete for that priority nomination, but simply to
     compete in the general national application pool should submit their
     applications by the extended campus deadline of Nov. 10, 2011 at 12:00pm
     (noon). UW will mail all applications on to the DAAD national office by
     the national deadline on your behalf.
  *  Applicants in any field not wishing to apply through UW at all can mail
     their application materials directly to the DAAD national office,
     postmarked by the following national deadlines, based on field:
      +  November 1, 2011 (postmark): for all applicants in the fields of
         music, visual arts and performing arts
      +  November 15, 2011 (postmark): for all other applicants
  *  *Music, visual arts and performing arts applicants can apply directly to
     the national office by Nov. 1, or can have their application materials
     forwarded by UW. Please see an adviser for details and questions.

Two UW offices support students applying for the DAAD Study Scholarships,
answer questions, and accept application materials, based on student status.
Please feel free to contact us for further information or questions:
  *  Graduate students interested in applying should contact Helene
     Obradovich, Director of Fellowships & Awards in The Graduate School:
     helene@uw.edu, (206) 543-1070, G-1 Communications.
  *  Undergraduate students and Bachelor's alums interested in applying
     should contact Robin Chang, Assistant Director, Office of Merit
     Scholarships, Fellowships & Awards: robinc@uw.edu, (206) 543-2603, 171 MGH.

Eligibility Requirements:
  *  Graduating seniors, graduate students and recent graduates who have
     completed their Bachelor's degrees no longer than six years before the
     application deadline are welcome to apply. Students who are in the first
     year of a full Master's degree program in Germany may also apply to fund
     their second year of the Master's programs.
  *  Applicants in all academic fields are welcome to apply. For study in the
     fields of dentistry, medicine, pharmacy, or veterinary medicine, contact
     DAAD.
  *  If you are a graduating senior or a graduate student, you must be
     enrolled full-time at an accredited North American university at the
     time of application. (Those who have already completed an undergraduate
     degree do not need to be currently enrolled.)
  *  Recent graduates should have received their bachelor's degrees no longer
     than six years before the application deadline.
  *  Recent graduates who are currently in Germany (for no longer than one
     year at the time of application) are also eligible to apply.
  *  Applicants should be US or Canadian citizens or permanent residents.
     Foreign nationals are eligible if they have been full-time students at
     an accredited US or Canadian University for at least two years at the
     time of application.
  *  At the time of application, applicants may not be living in Germany for
     a period of more than one year.

Important Considerations for Applicants:
  *  Applicants for Master's programs should have a study proposal explaining
     why a particular program has been chosen and how it will further the
     applicant's educational and career goals. As German university deadlines
     are later than our deadline, you may not have yet been admitted to a
     German university; however, if already enrolled in Germany and applying
     for the second year of the Master?s, applicants must submit evidence of
     admission to a German university. Those beginning their Master?s do not
     need to submit any evidence of contact with a German institution (though
     it is recommended).
 
     Applicants for independent study are expected to have a well-defined
     study or research project that makes a stay in Germany essential and
     should have an invitation from an academic partner at a German
     university or research institution. Scholarship recipients are required
     to complete two courses per semester and obtain "Scheine" (certificates
     of credit) for them.
  *  Applicants in the arts, humanities and social sciences should have a
     good command of German.
  *  Applicants may not hold a DAAD grant and a grant from another German or
     German-American organization/German-Canadian organization concurrently
     for the same project. Prior recipients of a DAAD grant should contact
     DAAD New York before applying to determine their eligibility status.

Juniors, seniors, recent alums, graduate and professional students at UW are
encouraged to apply for the Luce Scholars Program
(http://www.hluce.org/lsprogram.aspx). The UW is able to nominate 3 students
per year to compete nationally for the opportunity to spend 12 months in
Asia. The program provides stipends, language training and individualized
professional placement in Asia for fifteen to eighteen young Americans each
year. This is great opportunity for those with little or no prior experience
in Asian countries to add this valuable perspective to their future career
interests!
 
During the current application cycle for the 2012-13 program, applicants
must be American citizens who, by July 1, 2012, will have received at least
a bachelor's degree and will not have reached their 30th birthday.
Applicants should have a record of high achievement, outstanding leadership
ability, and a clearly defined career interest with evidence of potential
for professional accomplishment. Those who already have significant
experience in Asia or Asian studies are not eligible for the Luce Scholars
Program. Additional details are provided in the Program Summary below.
 
One more information session covering the program basics, application and
nomination process will be held Tuesday, July 26, 3:30pm, MGH 258. Please
RSVP to attend at

Program Summary:
 
The Luce Scholars Program represents a major effort by the Henry Luce
Foundation to provide an awareness of Asia among potential leaders in
American society. Launched in 1974, the Luce Scholars Program is aimed at a
group of highly qualified young Americans in a variety of professional
fields. It is unique among American-Asian exchanges in that it is intended
for young leaders who have had limited experience of Asia and who might not
otherwise have an opportunity in the normal course of their careers to come
to know Asia.
 
Luce Scholars have backgrounds in virtually any field other than Asian
studies, including but hardly limited to medicine and public health, the
arts, law, science, environmental studies, international development, and
journalism.
 
Placements can be made in the following countries or regions in East and
Southeast Asia: Cambodia, China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Laos,
Malaysia, Mongolia, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand,
and Vietnam.
 
In spite of its name, the Luce Scholars Program is experiential rather than
academic in nature. Some Scholars have been attached to Asian universities
in teaching or research capacities, but none of the participants is formally
enrolled as a student in a college or university and no academic credit is
extended. Past placements have included an architect's atelier in Tokyo; a
public health program in Banda Aceh; a Gobi regional initiative in
Ulaanbaatar; a dance theatre in Kuala Lumpur; an agricultural and
environmental center in Hanoi; a human rights commission in Seoul; a
pediatric hospital in Bangkok; a TV network in Beijing; a national museum in
Siem Reap; an international arbitration centre in Singapore; and
English-language newspapers, local governmental agencies and NGOs in diverse
fields throughout East and Southeast Asia.
 
Professional placements are arranged for each Scholar on the basis of his or
her individual interest, background, qualifications, and experience. Each
Scholar spends July and August studying the language of the placement
country, and the work assignments run for approximately ten months from
September until July of the following year. The placements are intended
primarily as learning opportunities for the Scholars. Certainly it is hoped
that a Scholar will be able to make a professional contribution to the host
organization, but equally important is a willingness to learn some of the
many things that Asia has to teach.
 
2010 UW graduate Jesse Burk-Rafel was selected as a Luce Scholar in 2010 and
spent 2010-2011 in Mongolia under the program. Read the UW News article
about Jesse at http://www.washington.edu/news/archive/56129.

The Honors Program is excited to offer its seventh annual winter-quarter
study abroad program, "Staging the City: Rome and the Performance of Power."
Students will earn 15 credits of Honors (Honors 230 (10), and Honors 391
(5)) OR Drama credits (Drama 499).  Alternative credits are available per
pre-approval with departmental advisers. 
Deadline extended to Oct. 7! 
 
 
Staging the City: Rome and the Performance of Power
January 5 - March 9, 2012
15 Credits
 
?Rome: Performing Power in the City? will use 2,000 years of performance
traditions, literature, painting, and architecture to consider how Rome
created, maintained, and circulated its own image of imperial and cultural
power first as the heart of the Roman Empire, then as the capital of
Catholic Christendom, later as a city of Papal Princes, and the epicenter of
high culture on any European tour, and finally, under Mussolini, as the site
of the new (Old) Empire.
 
How Rome occupied its unique charismatic position in European history is
largely a product of its own self-promotion. Rome the city invented Rome the
ideal, fashioned and re-fashioned itself across the centuries, and those
acts of invention can be read as a powerful performance of civic identity.
Combining the architecture of the city with plays, art, pageants,
spectacles, gladiatorial games and opera, all staged to promote the values
of Rome, we consider how the city fashioned its own identity as the center
of power and culture from Classical Empire through the Enlightenment, to the
restoration of empire under Mussolini: Roma Eterna, remained eternal by
re-staging itself.
 
The course will include excursions to main historical sites of the city with
instruction in both ancient and contemporary art in Rome and the surrounding
area. A sampling of excursions may include: the Pantheon, Vatican City, the
Colosseum, E.U.R., Contemporary Art Museum, the Forum, and Ostia Antica.
Rome is centrally located and the class will take advantage of day and over
night trips to locations such as Florence, Sienna, and Naples.

Come study Communication and Culture in Rome! 
Using ethnographic methods, students will explore Rome and its surroundings, focusing specifically on the interplay between history, culture, communication, and contemporary life.  Half of the class time will be spent learning foundational theoretical and methodological tools; the other half will be spent carefully observing life in and around Rome. Students will write ethnographic reports based on extensive observations of one assigned site. 

To facilitate the transition to Rome, students will take a 3-week intensive Italian language course to learn some basic tools for day-to-day interaction in Rome.

The program includes excursions to many sites – museums, excavations, gardens, etc. – in and around Rome. Through all of these experiences, students will experience the multiple layers of Rome and its environs while simultaneously discovering their own role in shaping and perceiving intercultural exchanges.

Summer Program, University of Oxford--  "Writing, Performing, and Curating Millennial Britain," University of Washington Honors Program--Applications Extended.
 
Deadline: March 28!
 
Dear Students,
 
You are invited to apply for a unique opportunity at the University of Oxford through the University of Washington Honors Program. The Program "Oxford: Writing, Performing, and Curating Millennial Britain" runs from June 27-July 28, with students expected to arrive in Oxford by June 24. A total of 15 quarter credits are awarded.
 
Program Description:
 
In the spirit of previous Honors summer study abroad courses at the University of Washington, this program inquires into the ways a nation makes itself intelligible to itself as a people with a shared history and destiny. The contradictions of the Blair years make it an especially interesting object of study. How did writers, artists, and intellectuals define, redefine, or criticize "Britishness" in a period when one could no longer clearly associate the term with a particular skin color, religious
confession, place of origin, or sexuality? How was "Britishness" positioned against possible alternatives and enemies? What role did the War on Terror play? What role have Black British, South Asian diasporic, and other minority cultures played in the shaping (or destabilizing) of the New Britain? How has the memory of the nation's imperial past - the era when half the planet's landmass was under British rule - influenced its
twenty-first century self-conception?
 
Oxford represents an extraordinary location for asking these questions. Its museums, libraries, playhouses, monuments, and architecture provide many opportunities to inquire into how the past meets the present and how the British are seeking to make sense of themselves and their place in a swiftly changing uncertain world. It will also provide an inspirational backdrop as
we study landmark works by contemporary writers, performers and visual artists such as David Dabydeen, Tracey Emin, Carol Ann Duffy, Mona Hatoum, Sarah Kane, Anish Kapoor, Martin Krimp, David Mitchell, Zadie Smith, and Gillian Wearing.
 
The program director, Brian Reed, Associate Professor of English, is a former Rhodes Scholar and Director of Graduate Programs, Department of English.

The Philippines - Made in the USA: Knowledge Construction and Social Action
June 20 - August 19
One of the ideals of United States exceptionalism is Manifest Destiny, which refers to America?s natural right to expand and use the land in the name of human progress and freedom. In the period between the mid-1800s until the beginning of the twentieth century the United States gained a number of overseas islands and territories. In this course we will examine American 
exceptionalism and utilize the Philippines' experience as a model.
 
Venice: The Endangered Fantasy
June 17 - August 19
This program will offer an inter-disciplinary investigation of one of the world's most popular tourist sites.  We will take an in depth look at the history and culture of the region while focusing on both the socio-logical and ecological lived experience of the city.  As a city literally taken over by non-natives during certain times of the year, Venice will offer a great insight into how the tourism industry effects the city's environment.  We will be enjoying the Biennale Arts Festival while there and will visit
the sight of the first Jewish Ghettos.

 You have one last chance to apply to the English Department's Summer B-Term program in London.  This is a great opportunity for students in literature, art history, architecture, political science and history, and drama.  Anglophiles from all majors are welcome!  Thanks for spreading the word.

The Department of English is now accepting applications through March
15, 2011 to its Summer B-Term in London 2011 program.  We have just a
few more spaces for students eager to study English literature, theater,
art, architecture, history, politics, and culture in one of the world's
most exciting and historic cities.
 
*Summer B-Term in London 2011*
 
This highly successful program of study offers students an opportunity
to live like Londoners.  Students are housed in British homestays, and
the majority of class learning is done in a peripatetic fashion - i.e.,
"walk and learn".  London is the primary classroom.  Three courses are
offered, two taught by British faculty and one taught by English
Department faculty.
 
Professor Peter Buckroyd has been teaching his "Art, Architecture and
Society" course since the program's beginning .  His class takes place
entirely on the streets and in buildings around London.  As well as
equipping students to look more carefully at buildings, pictures and
sculpture, Peter's course encourages them to do some imaginative
re-creation, considering what it might have been like to have lived at
different times in the past as a member of different social classes.
 
  Professor Michael Fosdal's class, "Contemporary Britain" is also very
interactive, introducing students to various aspects of life in Britain,
from royalty to the homeless, from politics to sport. There is a major
emphasis on direct contact with the people and institutions of
contemporary Britain, including meetings with homeless people and
politicians.  Peter Buckroyd and Michael Fosdal are the two British
faculty.  Both are experienced teachers of American students.
 
  The English Department faculty member will be Professor Sydney Kaplan.
 
Professor Kaplan will be teaching "20th Century Literary Responses to
London." This class will explore life in London over the past century
through the eyes of its writers.  Students will take Mrs. Dalloway's
walk, stroll through the City with Eliot's 'The Waste Land' in hand,
visit current art exhibitions, peek at some original manuscripts in the
British Library, and see some exciting contemporary London theater.
This course will meet the Senior Capstone requirement for English majors.
 
Program cost is $3,350; program fees cover instructional costs, room and
2/3rds board, London Transport pass, excursions, and textbooks. No
additional tuition payment is required. Fees will not include: $250 IPE
fee, airfare, weekday lunches, mandatory health insurance and
pre-departure health screening, or personal spending money.

historical memories can still be read in the urban landscape? How has the
process of creative reconstruction been used to both forget and remember
previous visual mappings and historical texts built into the stones and
spaces of the urban landscape?  The program will approach the urban
environment as a dynamic, mediatic container that carries a plethora of
meanings and messages. Our aim will be to decode and reconstruct some of
these messages and uncover the innumerable layers of memory that remain
present and alive in the city?s landscape.

Students will consider numerous aspects of Venice's artistic style, architecture, religious institutions such as the lay confraternities, and its representations in the literary imagination.  In addition, the program will consider the problems of maintaining an urban
community at a site now almost entirely devoted to tourism.  This will include a focus on the Venice Biennale which alternates between a celebration of the arts and architecture with exhibits from around the world.  And, the program will consider the ecological challenges involved in maintaining the site of Venice.

What do you know about the Balkans?
 
Bosnia, Croatia, Serbia and the EU - Moving Forward?
 
Summer 2011 Study Abroad sponsored by the Comparative History of Ideas Program
 
Info Sessions in Padelford C-101
 
Friday 1/14 at 1:30, Tuesday 1/18 at 2:30 and Wednesday 1/19 at 2:30
 
Full-time UW Credit - Open to ALL Majors - Fed. Financial Aid eligible
 
https://depts.washington.edu/chid/BCS.2011.SUM 
 
Do Bosnia, Croatia and Serbia evoke images of musicians like Balkan Beat Box and Gogol Bordello -  Films like Black Cat White Cat - Athletes like Ana Ivanovi, Ivan Ljubii and Darko Milii
 
Or does it evoke terms like "Balkanization" and "Ethnic Cleansing"?
 
Although outsiders have often viewed the Balkans as a zone where religious and cultural differences breed sectarian violence, students on our five previous programs in the Balkans and recent scholarship on the region, offer an alternative account, of religious and cultural coexistence as the norm through much of the region during the early modern period and in the former
Yugoslavia after World War II. If peace has sometimes broken down along religious and ethnic lines, the peace has often held across them in spite of great power competition and interventions.
 
Through coursework, guest lecturers, tours, meetings with local diplomats, NGO workers and students, as well as informal contacts, our program will expose students to a broad spectrum of perspectives and methods of study. Often we will be negotiating both the disintegration created by the conflict
and the emerging connections that link these areas of the Balkans together. Students will complete and present the findings of a major paper reflecting a topic or question which they have examined in detail over the course of the program and which compares their findings across our sites of study.
 
Come to an info session, or contact chidint@uw.edu for more information.

Re: the National Student Exchange (NSE). 

NSE gives you an opportunity to experience a different area with its unique cultural and academic opportunities. Since NSE's beginning in 1968, more than 94,000 students have had the opportunity to participate in NSE, giving them the opportunity to:
 
-     broaden their personal and educational perspectives
-     experience new cultures
-     explore new areas of study
-     learn from different professors
-     access new courses
-     experience personal growth
-     meet new people
-     make new friends
-     live in a different area
-     investigate graduate schools
-     seek future employment
 
Many returning UW students describe NSE as a life-changing experience which has made them more independent, self-confident and resourceful; expanded their risk-taking capabilities; and helped them better define their academic and 
career objectives. Students who have been on exchange return to UW with lasting friendships formed with students from all over the country.
 
Prior to exchange, you will develop a written agreement to ensure that the work you satisfactorily complete on exchange will count toward your degree program here. NSE operates with tuition reciprocity (tuition paid to our campus or at the in-state rates of the host campus) and federal financial aid portability. 
Your nomination for participation will be done by NSE @ UW, with selection by the host campus being completed in March. With placement rates of 97 percent, our students can generally find a location to meet both their academic and personal objectives.
 
Think about it. Visit http://www.nse.org. Talk with your parents, adviser, and professors about this exciting opportunity. Then, plan to attend one of our information sessions where we will explain the details of the program, provide brochures, outline application procedures, and answer all of your questions. 

The session schedule is:
 
Friday January 7, 1:00 - 2:00 MGH 224
Tuesday January 11, 12:30 - 1:30 MGH 224
Wednesday January 12, 3:00 - 4:00 MGH 224
Thursday January 20, 1:30 - 2:30 MGH 136
Tuesday January 25, 12:30 - 1:30 MGH 224
Friday January 28, 10:30 - 11:30 MGH 224
Monday January 31, 3:30 - 4:30 MGH 224
Friday February 4, 10:30 - 11:30 MGH 224
 
Applications for next year’s exchanges are due by February 4th, with a space-available deadline until Feb. 18th.

The Department of English is now accepting applications from students in all majors to its Summer B-Term in London 2011 program!
 
*Summer B-Term in London 2011*
 
This highly successful program of study offers students an opportunity  to live like Londoners.  Students are housed in British homestays, and the majority of class learning is done in a peripatetic fashion - i.e., "walk and learn".  London is the primary classroom.  Three courses are offered, two taught by British faculty and one taught by English Department faculty.
 
Professor Peter Buckroyd has been teaching his "Art, Architecture and Society" course since the program's beginning.  His class takes place entirely on the streets and in buildings around London.  As well as equipping students to look more carefully at buildings, pictures and sculpture, Peter's course encourages them to do some imaginative re-creation, considering what it might have been like to have lived at
different times in the past as a member of different social classes.
 
  Professor Michael Fosdal's class, "Contemporary Britain" is also very interactive, introducing students to various aspects of life in Britain, from royalty to the homeless, from politics to sport. There is a major emphasis on direct contact with the people and institutions of contemporary Britain, including meetings with homeless people and politicians.  Peter Buckroyd and Michael Fosdal are the two British faculty.  Both are experienced teachers of American students.
 
  The English Department faculty member will be Professor Sydney Kaplan.
 
Professor Kaplan will be teaching "20th Century Literary Responses to London." This class will explore life in London over the past century through the eyes of its writers.  Students will take Mrs. Dalloway's walk, stroll through the City with Eliot's 'The Waste Land' in hand, visit current art exhibitions, peek at some original manuscripts in the British Library, and see some exciting contemporary London theater. This course will meet the Senior Capstone requirement for English majors.
 
Program cost is $3,350; program fees cover instructional costs, room and 2/3rds board, London Transport pass, excursions, and textbooks. No additional tuition payment is required. Fees will not include: $250 IPE fee, airfare, weekday lunches, mandatory health insurance and pre-departure health screening, or personal spending money.

The Department of English is now accepting applications to its Spring in London 2011 program!
 
*Spring in London 2011*
 
In Spring 2011, the English Department's Spring in London Program will be in its 25th year.  This highly successful program of study offers students an opportunity to live like Londoners.  Students are housed in British homestays, and the majority of class learning is done in a peripatetic fashion - i.e., "walk and learn".  London is the primary classroom.
 
Every year, students have a choice of taking 3 out of 4 classes; two are taught by British faculty and two are taught by English Department faculty.
 
Professor Peter Buckroyd has been teaching his "Art, Architecture and Society" course since the program's beginning in 1986.  His class takes place entirely on the streets and in buildings around London.  As well as equipping students to look more carefully at buildings, pictures and sculpture, Peter's course encourages them to do some imaginative re-creation, considering what it might have been like to have lived at
different times in the past as a member of different social classes.
  
Professor Michael Fosdal's class, "Contemporary Britain" is also very interactive, introducing students to various aspects of life in Britain, from royalty to the homeless, from politics to sport. There is a major emphasis on direct contact with the people and institutions of contemporary Britain, including meetings with homeless people and politicians.  Peter Buckroyd and Michael Fosdal are the two British faculty.  Both are experienced teachers of American students. 
 
The two English Department faculty will be Professors Juliet Shields and Carrie Matthews.
  
Juliet Shields will be teaching "London's Contemporary Theater".  The goal of this class is to help students become more informed, confident and, especially, active readers and watchers of contemporary theater. Students will read, discuss, watch, and write about several plays over the course of the quarter.  This course will meet the Senior Capstone requirement for English majors.
 
 Carrie Matthews will be teaching "Writing London's Neighborhoods."   This course invites students to explore the rich patchwork quilt that is London?sneighborhoods, exploring some of the less known parts of the city.  Students will read extensively about this "other" London and create their
own textual representations of London neighborhoods.  This course meets the "Forms and Genres" requirement for English majors.
  
Program cost is $6,200; program fees cover instructional costs, room and 2/3rds board, London Transport pass, excursions, and textbooks. No additional tuition payment is required. Fees will not include: $250 IPE fee, airfare, weekday lunches, mandatory health insurance and pre-departure health screening, or personal spending money.

In a world increasingly dominated by visual media, we live, breath and think visually in a way never really known before in history. How can we create a vocabulary within this milieu that captures and allows for human expression in ways that benefit society? How does "cinematic language" - perhaps the
most universal and common language of today's world - work?

We are pleased to announce the Honors Winter in Rome Program "Youth Culture/Contemporary Youth: The Making of a New Italy".  Next winter's program in Rome will address youth identity and, more broadly, the identity of a country that is navigating extreme demographic changes. Children of immigrants contribute to over 10% of Italy's population growth and these new Italians are creating a "new Italy," with youth culture interpreting traditional Italian institutions through a uniquely diverse and dynamic lens.

Students will work with institutions such as schools, community and social organizations in the areas of education, politics, arts, and culture. This program will count for 15 university credits (Honors, Education, or departmental credits per pre approval by your department).
 
All students are welcome to apply.
 
Deadline October 15, 2010

The Luce Scholars Program is a fantastic opportunity open to graduating seniors, recent alums, graduate and professional students in all fields EXCEPT Asian Studies. It provides a year-long fully funded internship opportunity in a variety of Asian countries and is specifically geared toward those who have not spent significant time in Asia already (no language skills required). This year's application cycle is for those seeking to spend 2011-2012 in Asia. 

Graduating seniors, recent alums, graduate and professional students at UW
are encouraged to apply for the Luce Scholars Program
(http://www.hluce.org/lsprogram.aspx) for 2011-2012. The UW is able to
nominate 3 students per year to compete for the opportunity to spend 12
months in Asia. The program provides stipends, language training and
individualized professional placement in Asia for fifteen to eighteen young
Americans each year.
 
Applicants must be American citizens who, by July 1 of the year they enter
the program (2011), will have received at least a bachelor's degree and will
not have reached their 30th birthday. Applicants should have a record of
high achievement, outstanding leadership ability, and a clearly defined
career interest with evidence of potential for professional accomplishment.

Program Summary:
 
The Luce Scholars Program represents a major effort by the Henry Luce
Foundation to provide an awareness of Asia among potential leaders in
American society. Launched in 1974, the Luce Scholars Program is aimed at a
group of highly qualified young Americans in a variety of professional
fields. It is unique among American-Asian exchanges in that it is intended
for young leaders who have had limited experience of Asia and who might not
otherwise have an opportunity in the normal course of their careers to come
to know Asia.
 
Luce Scholars have backgrounds in virtually any field other than Asian
studies, including but hardly limited to medicine and public health, the
arts, law, science, environmental studies, international development, and
journalism.
 
Placements can be made in the following countries or regions in East and
Southeast Asia: Brunei, Cambodia, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan,
Laos, Malaysia, Mongolia, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan,
Thailand, and Vietnam.
 
In spite of its name, the Luce Scholars Program is experiential rather than
academic in nature. Some Scholars have been attached to Asian universities
in teaching or research capacities, but none of the participants is formally
enrolled as a student in a college or university and no academic credit is
extended. Past placements have included an architect's atelier in Tokyo; a
public health program in Banda Aceh; a Gobi regional initiative in
Ulaanbaatar; a dance theatre in Kuala Lumpur; an agricultural and
environmental center in Hanoi; a human rights commission in Seoul; a
pediatric hospital in Bangkok; a TV network in Beijing; a national museum in
Siem Reap; an international arbitration centre in Singapore; and
English-language newspapers, local governmental agencies and NGOs in diverse
fields throughout East and Southeast Asia.
 
Professional placements are arranged for each Scholar on the basis of his or
her individual interest, background, qualifications, and experience. Each
Scholar spends July and August studying the language of the placement
country, and the work assignments run for approximately ten months from
September until July of the following year. The placements are intended
primarily as learning opportunities for the Scholars. Certainly it is hoped
that a Scholar will be able to make a professional contribution to the host
organization, but equally important is a willingness to learn some of the
many things that Asia has to teach.
 
 
2010 UW graduate Jesse Burk-Rafel was selected as a Luce Scholar in February
and will spend 2010-2011 in Mongolia under the program. Read the University
Week article about Jesse at http://uwnews.org/uweek/article.aspx?id=56129.

Dear Students,
 
You may wish to have a better understanding of international studies,
multiculturalism, politics, law, and human rights through travels in the
marvels of Israel, live in various communities, talking with people, meeting
NGOs activists, politicians. justices, human rights activities. etc.. and to
travel in some of the most important places to Christianity, Judaism, and
Islam. Participation in the 3 weeks exploration program in Israel will give
you 6 credits. We still have several available seats. Please see below and
the attached brochure. Send me an e-mail if you have any question.
-----
We are offering a great opportunity to experience and study various facets
of Israeli society, politics, multiculturalism, religions, history,
archeology, law, and economics through an exploration seminar/international
program offered by the JSIS between June 29th-July 18th, 2010. Myself and
Prof. Karine Barzilai-Nahon { karineb@uw.edu] from the Information School
will lead a group of up to 20 students to visit more than 140 sites and
meeting with dozens of social and human rights activists, religious
scholars, politicians, judges, academics, social movements, community
members and community leaders, public decision-makers, policy research
institutes, etc... both Jews [from the all spectrum of Israeli society] and
Arab-Palestinians, seeing amazing places combining real time exciting
experiences with debates. We are going to travel all over the country in
some beautiful places some of which are global flashpoints. Here are some
reactions of students from last year:
 
"Thanks for all your help. I would have not learned and experienced all that
I have learned if it wasn't for you guys. The people and places
we saw were great." Dana Abdulaziz; Political Science

"There is no way to regret going on this trip. Every day is a new adventure
and you learn to expect the unexpected from this beautiful country and its
people." Kristen Empie; Biology

"The best experience I've had while at the UW.  There's no better way to get
in touch with a country like Israel than by actually being on the ground,
speaking with the unique people there.  Eye-opening, shocking, inspiring all
in one." Ryen Shell; Jackson School of International Studies

"This seminar is ideal for a mature student who is interested in the
history, law, religion, and politics of Israel and of the world.  It was one
of the
most amazing experiences of my life, and life-changing in a way that I am
very thankful for." Janay Farmer; Law School

Australia is a country that captures the imagination of many in the western
world, with a visibility that belies its small population and limited impact
in world affairs. In this program, we ask why this is, focusing on both the
myths Australians hold dear and the stories others tell about them. In
particular, in our classes we will be examining what invoking an ?authentic?
Australia might mean, both to Australians and others, and focusing on
particular incarnations of Australian identity: members of the commonwealth;
the legacy of post WWII European immigration; Australia as an Asian country;
and Aboriginal Australia (with a focus on the issues raised by the report on
the Stolen Generations and responses to it).

A beautiful, craft and culture rich region, Oaxaca became the center of
international attention after a 2006 strike by the province?s teachers. The
strike precipitated a police crackdown in which the strikers were evicted
from the Zocalo (center square). That was followed by a larger uprising
which resulted in a seven month?long occupation of the city center by
coalition of indigenous and working peoples which took the name of the
Popular Assembly of the Peoples of Oaxaca (APPO). Calm has returned,
allowing us to use these events as a fulcrum from which to pursue the larger
social and economic processes at work in Oaxaca and in Mexico.
 
 
 
Led by Dr. Dan Jacoby and Lisa Olason (UW Bothell, IAS), our course provides
a crucial link towards understanding not only the process of economic
development abroad, but also in understanding several key US policy

JOIN a band of ink-stained writer-adventurers for a month of concentrated 
exercise and conversation in and about the Eternal City. This is Rome from a 
generalists's perspective: history and geography, art and architecture, 
language and literature, the color and vagary and flavor of daily life all 
constellate in the writer's notebook. Following in the footsteps of those 
poets, painters, saints and soldiers who for some two and a half millenia have 
traveled where all roads lead, we'll sack the city word by cobble, in 
conversation, practice, and stride.
 
The Summer Creative Writing in Rome Program is open to anyone (undergraduates, 
graduates, alumni, citizens-at-large) seeking to join an intensive program in 
the written arts.

"Social Justice, Labor and the Economy in Mexico" takes an interdisciplinary
approach to the study of social movement and is appropriate for students
from a wide variety of backgrounds.  Undergraduate and graduate students at
all three UW campuses are eligible to participate.
 
 
 
A beautiful, craft and culture rich region, Oaxaca became the center of
international attention after a 2006 strike by the province?s teachers. The
strike precipitated a police crackdown in which the strikers were evicted
from the Zocalo (center square). That was followed by a larger uprising
which resulted in a seven month?long occupation of the city center by
coalition of indigenous and working peoples which took the name of the
Popular Assembly of the Peoples of Oaxaca (APPO). Calm has returned,
allowing us to use these events as a fulcrum from which to pursue the larger
social and economic processes at work in Oaxaca and in Mexico.
 
 
 
Led by Dr. Dan Jacoby and Lisa Olason (IAS), our course provides a crucial
link towards understanding not only the process of economic development
abroad, but also in understanding several key US policy concerns. We?ll pay
special attention to the questions of labor, organization, indigenous
peoples and culture, migration, globalization, economic development, and the
challenges of neo?liberalism.

               Certificate in Trans-Atlantic Studies (CTAS)

                      at the University of Bath (UK)

                                Fall 2010

The Certificate in Trans-Atlantic Studies (CTAS) is a unique program
designed for UW students interested in sharing the experience of exploring
contemporary European politics and trans-Atlantic relations with student
colleagues from across Europe. What sets the program apart is that it brings
the same group of European and US students together to study on both sides
of the Atlantic, giving it a curricular and social dynamic unlike any other
foreign study program. Accepted applicants will have the opportunity to
spend autumn quarter at the University of Bath, ranked by the Times and
Guardian newspapers as one of Britain?s top fifteen universities, to study
European politics and culture with academic experts from across Europe.
Accepted students will also have the option of joining a group of
Euromasters students coming to the UW for Spring Quarter to study
trans-Atlantic relations. Students who successfully complete both quarters,
at Bath, and the UW, will receive a Certificate in Trans-Atlantic Studies
from the EU Center of Excellence.

Program Features:
- Study with faculty and distinguished guest lecturers from the University
of Bath and from throughout the UK and the European Union. All coursework
and lectures are in English.
- Learn about Europe not only from the academic perspective of your
coursework and instructors, but also from the personal points of view of the
approximately fifty European students participating in the Euromasters
program.
- Automatically receive a $750-$1,500 travel grant from the UW?s EU Center of
Excellence.
- Receive UW resident credits for your coursework in Bath and maintain your
scholarship and financial aid status.
- Take the optional Spring Quarter special Trans-Atlantic Studies seminar,
plus one course on US politics, history or culture, alongside a select

The Vietnamese Modernities Program offers students linguistic, academic and
applied training in Vietnam. Participants receive Vietnamese language
training, a practicum experience, and an in-depth understanding of
contemporary Vietnam from the perspective of cinema, the fine arts,
humanities and interpretative social sciences.

Students reside in the historically rich, cosmopolitan capital city of
Hanoi, and take part in several excursions including Ha Long Bay, Hoi An in
Central Vietnam and the southern metropolitan area of Ho Chi Minh City.

This program is organized, directed and taught by Professor Jonathan Warren
- an Associate Professor in the Jackson School of International Studies who
has directed study abroad programs to Brazil and Vietnam for over seven
years.

Both an internship and a study abroad experience: The Washington Center offers a combination of the two with our Intern Abroad Programs in London, Oxford, and Sydney.

Our programs are different than traditional intern abroad programs in
several ways.

1. Support: We work closely with students from the time they apply until
after they've arrived home. We assist them in obtaining their visas, set up
group flights and even send a staff member abroad with them.

2. Preparation: Our program begins with ten days in the U.S. capital. During
the D.C. seminar, we help students to understand experiential learning, form
goals, and explore several topics they'll continue to study while abroad.
Themes may include, for example, immigration, political economy,
homelessness, regional economics and trade, or history, architecture and
public spaces. Comparisons between the destination city and D.C. will be
encouraged. Students depart Washington prepared to begin their time abroad
with background knowledge and purpose.

3. Established Arrangements: The Washington Center, now in its 35th year,
has developed affiliations with hundreds of colleges and universities around
the country. We've been able to establish credit and fee arrangements with
many institutions and have designated faculty or staff liaisons on campus,
making it easier for students to participate. To find out whether your
school is affiliated, please contact us.

To supplement our main Intern Abroad website at:

www.twc.edu/internabroad

we've recently created a homepage containing resources that will help you
promote these programs to your students. Tools available include a
comprehensive information sheet, downloadable budget worksheets, acceptance
guides for each program and more! To access the website, please visit:

sites.google.com/site/internabroadinfokit

We welcome your suggestions for additional content. If you have any
questions please feel free to be in touch with me.

http://depts.washington.edu/chid/showprogram.php?id=99
 
Outsiders have viewed the Balkans as a zone where religious and cultural
differences breed sectarian violence and where competition between empires
East and West compounds instability and conflict.
 
Five previous programs in the Balkans and recent scholarship on the region,
offers an alternative account, of religious and cultural coexistence as the
norm through much of the region during the early modern period and in the
former Yugoslavia after World War II. If peace has sometimes broken down
along religious and ethnic lines, the peace has often held across them in
spite of great power competition and interventions.
 
Through close study of the Yugoslav conflict and of the post war peace in
Bosnia-Herzegovina (BH), and Serbia, we will ask ourselves how best to
understand Balkan myths and realities and where they shed light on why at
times the peace has held and at others has broken.

  "The ocean is not really the ocean until you are out of your depth"

Professor Kathleen Fearn-Banks would like to have some communication 
majors in her Exploration Seminar "Communication and Culture in Buenos 
Aires" to be held for 4 weeks between summer and fall quarters this year. 
The course is open to all majors but is especially significant to 
communication majors because of points of interests.
 
The 2009 class visited the following: the U.S. Embassy and learned about 
the communications tasks of the embassy and jobs there; Edelman Public 
Relations, one of the largest international public relations firms; the 
editor of the Buenos Aires Herald, who is determined to keep his paper 
from being a government mouthpiece; a television news station where they 
saw a newscast; a popular radio show among young adults stressing music 
and politics; and a radio show about corporate social responsibility. A 
Porteno took the group on a drive to see where the wealthiest and the 
poorest people live, the latter not easily seen by tourists.  Students in 
the 2010 group will have similar experiences.
 
Other information can be obtained from "Exploration Seminar" on the UW 
website.  Click on "programs" and then "argentina"
 
Please visit the course webpage for more detailed information roivide by 
ast year's class: http://www.com.washington.edu/argentina/
 
Course highlights...
 
Communications & Culture in Buenos Aires
2010 Exploration Seminar in Argentina
Program Director:  Kathleen Fearn-Banks , Communications
Dates of Instruction: August 23  to September 22, 2010
 
Argentina has a vibrant cultural life and a distinctive and unique style. 
European and American influences are apparent in its architecture, art, 
music, films and cuisine.  It also has a diverse population with 
interesting class cultures as well as women's issues.
 
The essential point of the class is to observe the culture of Portenos 
(people of Buenos Aires) with an eye for how culture and communications 
intersect; how culture affects communication and conversely how 
communication affects culture.  Students may pursue a study related to 
their major or in something that interests them.
 
Students in 2009 were most excited about their partnering with students at 
the Universidad Argentina de la Empresa (UADE).  After a first-night 
dinner with UADE students, UW students were assisted with academic and 
professional research as well as social partners who showed them places of 
entertainment.
 
No more than half of the 30-day period will be spent on organized tours 
and visits. The balance of the stay will be determined by each student and 
his/her interests.  Some of the fun and cultural aspects will include the 
following:  a guided half-day tour of the city; a professional tango show 
and dinner; a professional soccer game; a visit to a ranch where students 
can ride horses, watch a gaucho show and dine on traditional fare.  A 
two-day excursion to the neighboring country of Uruguay is included with 
one night in Montevideo and another in Colonia.
 
Students will reside in a secure apartment building in the city, double 
occupancy. The units have kitchens, bathrooms, phones that can be used 
with pre-paid cards or for incoming calls, small closets.  Eight or more 
whole-group meals will be provided (including the tango show, the 
ranch);Supermercados; are in the neighborhood and 2009 students bought 
groceries for meals and snacks in the apartments and found that food was 
not expensive, even in cafes and restaurants nearby and in other areas of 
the city.  Subways and busses are close; taxi fares are not prohibitive, 
especially in groups.
 
Credits: Students may earn five credits through the Dept. of 
Communications' COM 478 Intercultural Communications. Communication 
majors may enroll in COM 498 Independent Studies.  Non-matriculated 
students may also apply.

"Social Justice, Labor and the Economy in Mexico" takes an interdisciplinary
approach to the study of social movement and is appropriate for
 
students from a wide variety of backgrounds.  Undergraduate and graduate
students at all three UW campuses are eligible to participate.
 
 
 
A beautiful, craft and culture rich region, Oaxaca became the center of
international attention after a 2006 strike by the province?s teachers. The
strike precipitated a police crackdown in which the strikers were evicted
from the Zocalo (center square). That was followed by a larger uprising
which resulted in a seven month?long occupation of the city center by
coalition of indigenous and working peoples which took the name of the
Popular Assembly of the Peoples of Oaxaca (APPO). Calm has returned,
allowing us to use these events as a fulcrum from which to pursue the larger
social and economic processes at work in Oaxaca and in Mexico.
 
 
 
Our course provides a crucial link towards understanding not only the
process of economic development abroad, but also in understanding
 
several key US policy concerns. We?ll pay special attention to the questions
of labor, organization, indigenous peoples and culture, migration,
 
globalization, economic development, and the challenges of neo?liberalism.

multiple perspectives through an exploration of its original foundations as
a site of refuge during the Gothic invasions of the 5th century, its
subsequent development as a maritime empire that survived until 1797, and
its continuing role as a world heritage site and unique tourist
destination.  This program will provide an interdisciplinary approach to the
study of a singular urban site with a rich history but a fragile future in
terms of its core community and its threatened ecostructure.

Your nomination for participation will be done by NSE @ UW, with selection by 
the host campus being completed in March. With placement rates of 97 percent, 
our students can generally find a location to meet both their academic and 
personal objectives.
 
Think about it. Visit http://www.nse.org. Talk with your parents, adviser, and 
professors about this exciting opportunity. Then, plan to attend one of our 
information sessions where we will explain the details of the program, provide 
brochures, outline application procedures, and answer all of your questions. 
The session schedule is:

In 2001 the University of Washington established a Rome Center Student Internship position. In 2009 it was named the Trina Deines Rome Center Internship, in honor of Rome Center's Director Emerita.

The internship position is designed to provide University of Washington students with practical experience working in an office environment, affording them the unique opportunity for prolonged contact with a cultural environment other than their own. This single Internship position is especially suited to a student working on Italian language studies or on another independent study topic which would be enriched by study in Italy.

The German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) is pleased to announce that
for summer 2010 we will again offer three internship programs: RISE
(Research Internships in Science and Engineering), RISE professional and
RISE in North America. RISE has established itself as an outstanding
opportunity to combine serious research with a rewarding study-abroad
experience. All three programs are targeted to students from the fields
of engineering, physics, chemistry, biology, earth sciences (geology)
and related disciplines.  For detailed information about all three
programs, please visit: www.daad.de/rise-programs
 
 
 
RISE undergrads have the opportunity to work on cutting edge research
projects at top research institutions (e.g., Max-Planck-Institutes) and
universities in Germany. Students are paired with German PhD students in
a unique mentoring partnership to ensure immediate integration into
hands on lab work and built-in social network with an excellent
opportunity to develop new technical skills. RISE participants receive a
scholarship to cover living expenses. Online registration and the
internship database for RISE and RISE professional both opened on
December 7th. Please email RISE queries to: rise@daad.de
 
 
 
RISE professional is designed for recent graduates, Master's and PhD
students, and alumni of the RISE program who are matched with a
well-known German company, where they gain insight into the professional
applications of science and engineering and develop practical skills.
Internships can last from 1.5 to 6 months. Similar to RISE, this new
program features a scholarship to cover living expenses. Online
registration is currently available and students will receive all
necessary information by the end of October, enabling them to access the
internship offers submitted by German companies.  Please email RISE
professional queries to: rise-pro@daad.de
 
 
 
The application deadline for both programs is January 31, 2010.
 
 
 
Additionally, we are looking for research groups in the U.S. and Canada
to host participants of RISE in North America. These German interns
receive a DAAD scholarship to help cover living expenses and travel
costs. Participating researchers receive invaluable assistance with
their own work - they profit both professionally and personally from
contact with the intern, getting a chance to deepen their knowledge of
the culture, lifestyle and higher education system in Germany. PhD
students are especially encouraged to participate because they, in
particular, can benefit by learning how to guide and serve as a mentor
to younger students. The program also offers an excellent opportunity to
establish academic partnerships with universities in Germany or to
intensify already existing transatlantic networks.
 
 
 
Research groups interested in hosting a German research assistant in the
summer of 2010 are invited to participate in RISE in North America and
to submit project proposals at: www.daad.de/rise-northamerica. The time
frame for the submission of project proposals is November 9th, 2009 to
January 11th, 2010.
 
 
 
Thank you for your assistance in promoting these programs.

Venice: the Endangered Fantasy
Summer UW Study Abroad program
Info Session Weds 12/9 at 1:30
Padelford Hall C-101
 
The Comparative History of Ideas program invites students from all areas of study to apply for this 12-15 credit summer program.  All instruction is in English.   Participants can apply their Federal Financial Aid or apply for additional scholarships.  Strong applicants will demonstrate an interest in interdisciplinary learning, European political or intellectual history, geography or cultural studies.
 
The CHID Venice program will consider the history and culture of Venice from multiple perspectives through an exploration of its original foundations as a site of refuge during the Gothic invasions of the 5th century, its subsequent development as a maritime empire that survived until 1797, and its continuing role as a world heritage site and unique tourist destination. Students will consider numerous aspects of Venice's cultural legacy through its particular artistic style, architecture, religious institutions such as the lay confraternities, and its representations in the literary imagination. In addition, the program will consider the problems of maintaining an urban community at a site now almost entirely devoted to tourism. This will include a focus on the Venice Biennale which alternates between a celebration of the arts and architecture with exhibits from around the world. And, the program will consider the ecological challenges involved in maintaining the site of Ven!
 ice through scientific efforts to overcome the subsidence of the islands and to regulate the water level in the lagoons. This is intended to provide an interdisciplinary approach to the study of a singular urban site with a rich history but a fragile future in terms of its core community and its threatened ecostructure.

Program Description:
 
JOIN a band of ink-stained writer-adventurers for ten weeks of
concentrated exercise and conversation in and about the Eternal City.
This is Rome from a generalists's perspective: history and geography,
art and architecture, language and literature, the color and vagary and
flavor of daily life all constellate in the writer's notebook. Following
in the footsteps of those poets, painters, saints and soldiers who for
some two and a half millenia have traveled where all roads lead, we'll
sack the city word by cobble, in conversation, practice, and stride.
 
Courses and Credits:
 
ENGL 430:  Studies in Major Authors, D.H. Lawrence and Italy    5 credits
Professor Sydney Kaplan
 
Why did the impoverished son of a coal miner choose Italy as his escape
from the social constrictions of British society in the early
twentieth-century?  How did his Italian sojourns influence his
controversial ideas on art, sexuality, and politics?  The class will
pursue these and other questions as we read D.H. Lawrence?s writings
based on his experiences in Italy:  Twilight in Italy, Sea and Sardinia,
and Etruscan Places, and also novels (Aaron?s Rod and The Lost Girl),
poems, and short stories.  We will take advantage of the great
collection of Etruscan art at the Villa Giulia, and make excursions to
Cerveteri and Tarquinia to follow in Lawrence?s footsteps as he
discovered the significance of the ancient Etruscan civilization for
modern times.   We also will consider Lawrence?s work in relation to the
artists and writers of Italian Futurism, taking advantage of the
magnificent collection of Futurist Art in the Galeria Nationale d?Arte
Moderna.  Additionally, we will look at the very different reactions to
Italy of Lawrence's friend, E.M. Forster, in his novels Where Angels
Fear to Tread and A Room With a View.  (This course meets the Senior
Capstone Requirement for English Literature majors)
 
ENGL 283/383/483 or 493:  Sacking Rome                5 credits

Rome from a writer?s perspective:  what can we carry away?  Notebooks in

We?ll consider what it means to be an artist, walk the cobbles daily,
fill a writer?s sketchbook, and so in literary terms sack the city at
the center of the world.

We are looking for students to participate in the 2010-2011 exchange program 
with Sichuan University in China and would really appreciate your help in 
forwarding this e-mail on to students or groups who might be interested.
 
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.
 
/**We will be having an open information session with the Program Coordinator 
and the 2008-09 program alum on November 18, 7:00 pm in HUB 209B.** /

School of Drama Study Abroad in Rome: Spring 2010

http://courses.washington.edu/rome10/index.shtml

The School of Drama is thrilled to offer its first annual spring-quarter study abroad program in Rome, Italy, offering a total of 15 credits: 

Staging the City (Drama 494 - 5 credits)
Art and Identity in Early Modern Rome (Art H 497 - 5 credits)
Students will also complete an Independent Research project 
(Drama 499 - 5 credits)


INFORMATION SESSION: Wednesday October 21st, 3:30 p.m.
Room XXX Hutchinson Hall


Staging the City:  
Performance, Power, and Identity in Rome from Empire to the Enlightenment
March 29 – June 4, 2010

 

Using 1,500 years of performance traditions - plays, pageants, spectacles and gladiatorial games, opera, literature, art and architecture - this broad humanities course considers how Rome created, maintained, and promoted its own image of imperial and cultural power - first as the heart of the Roman Empire, then as the capital of Catholic Christiandom, later as a city of Papal Princes, and the epicenter of high culture on any European tour.  How Rome occupied its unique charismatic position in European history is largely a product of its own self-promotion.  Rome the city invented Rome the ideal, and that act can be read as a powerful performance of civic identity. 

The program is conducted at the Palazzo Pio, the University of Washington’s Rome Center, located in the historic center of the city. The palazzo, a fully remodeled seventeenth-century structure that sits on the foundations of the ancient theater of Pompey (55 B.C.), rises next to the Campo de’ Fiori, one of Rome’s favorite locales, a bustling open market during the day and lively social venue at night.

Cinema Studies is thrilled to offer its first annual winter-quarter study abroad program = in Rome, Italy that will consist of three courses that fulfill 15 credits:

The Eternal City: Rome in World Cinema and Literature (5 credits)

From the Soviets to Italian Neorealism (5 = credits)

The Power of Images, the Art of Propaganda (5 = credits)

January 7  – March 12, 2009

Rome Onscreen: The Eternal City in Cinema

In a country known for its rich film tradition, the Italian   capital of Rome remains   one of the most cinematically recognizable cities on the globe. All the great   Italian auteurs – and many from other countries – have shot films   here: Fellini, Rossellini, Wyler, Minghella, de Sica, Pasolini, to name a   few.  This 15-credit course of study, part of the UW Cinema Studies program, offers students the chance to explore Rome as film object and as a living,   breathing metropolis – in the process discovering the ways cinema recreates   real time and space in accordance with its makers’   vision.
Through courses examining the visual representation of Rome in   art; the important film movement of Neorealism (as well as its antecedents in   early Soviet silent cinema); and the ways writers and filmmakers of different   nations have depicted the “Eternal City,” program participants will   come to know Rome the ancient capital and modern mega-city, along with its   filmic, literary and artistic incarnations.        
The program is conducted at the Palazzo Pio, the University of Washington’s   Rome   Center, located in the historic center of the city. The palazzo, a fully   remodeled seventeenth-century structure that sits on the foundations of the   ancient theater of Pompey (55 B.C.), rises next to the Campo de’ Fiori,   one of Rome’s favorite locales, a bustling open market during the day and   lively social venue at night.

- CampusPoint sponsors a FREE Going Away Party about one month prior to every CIP group departure. Once abroad, the CIP provides easy web-based access to contact information for all CIP participants - even those you didn't meet at the party! 

   Work in the Same Geographic Area as other CIP Participants!   
- What good would it be to be acquainted with other CIP participants if you don't work in the same geographic area? Thus, the CIP makes an effort to "cluster" CIP participants in similar geographic regions. 

   Public Schools instead of Private Schools!   
- Virtually all CIP positions are located in public schools. This means CIP participants receive training and orientation, are guaranteed daytime work hours with weekends off, and best of all, will be partnered with a professional "co-teacher" for the duration of their employment. Above all else, public schools offer a stable, consistent, and predictable work environment. 

   Face to Face Recruiting Process!   
- Call us old fashioned, but all CIP candidates actually meet the CampusPoint staff members responsible for helping them live and work successfully overseas. They'll also meet former overseas program participants and be able to ask questions. 

   In Country Support Available - if Needed!   
- Through an innovative partnership, CIP actually has on-the-ground, in-country support available should you need it. 

THE BOTTOM LINE: 
There are other ways to find jobs like those offered by CIP - but you won't find the CIP advantages anywhere else. 

THE REQUIREMENTS: 
In order to participate in the CIP, we require: 
- A bachelor's degree in any major from an accredited college or university 
- No criminal history whatsoever including DUIs 
- Excellent health
- Be a native English speaker (English is your first and primary language)
- The ability to get a passport from one of the following countries: United States, United Kingdom, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa or Australia

- Slideshows showing life in Korea
- Detail job description

wonders of the world, the temples of Angkor Wat.  Ride a "tuk-tuk."

"My experience in Cambodia animated everything I had previously learned
about humanitarian work and policy making. Both the difficult and
disheartening things I saw there remain continuing motivation in my
educational and professional pursuits."
 
 
 
"This was one of the most important courses out of my entire educational
development.  I not only learned about the current hardship that Cambodia is
facing with rebuilding, but I learned about myself as well, and that would
not have been possible in any other setting."

worthwhile experience for anyone interested in Cambodia, social work, human
rights, development, policy and public affairs, international relation,
history."

today in terms of social justice. I'm continually re-thinking and building
on what I learned there, and applying various issues we studied to different
areas of the world. ....My experience in Cambodia has been the foundation
for my ambition to study immigration law in the future."
 
 
 
"I'm a changed person and have gained numerous perspectives that will be
beneficial for the future."
 
 
 
"Studying abroad in Cambodia is a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience,
surprisingly filled with all different levels of emotions. This
unforgettable experience allowed me to share my knowledge and passion with
others, in hopes of helping to open their eyes to issues going on in
Cambodia as well."

Utopian Visions in a Postcolonial Setting: Working Towards the Goal of Human
Unity
CHID International Program in Auroville, India
 
Information Sessions in Padelford C-101
Weds, May 13 at 4:30 and Thurs, May 14 at 4:30
 
Studying in Auroville is an exciting opportunity to learn about literary
utopias/dystopias and theoretical writings about the formation of
intentional communities while living within and participating in one.
Auroville was founded in 1968 in South India by The Mother and other
followers of Sri Aurobindo with the intention of establishing a universal
township open to men and women from across the globe. While Auroville is
non-sectarian, spirituality is a core value for the community and all
members are expected to be committed to the goal of human unity. Auroville
is a complex community that struggles with the legacies of colonialism and
the difficulties of making a sustainable community in a difficult physical
environment while remaining faithful to the vision of The Mother.
 
This program is open to students from all majors. 
Participants will earn full-time UW credit and maintain their financial aid
eligibility and resident status.
Drop by an info session to learn more, obtain scholarship information, and
meet the faculty.

also present the findings at the end of the program in a conference-like 
setting.

JOIN a band of ink-stained writer-adventurers for a month of concentrated
exercise and conversation in and about the Eternal City. This is Rome from a
generalists's perspective: history and geography, art and architecture,
language and literature, the color and vagary and flavor of daily life all
constellate in the writer's notebook. Following in the footsteps of those
poets, painters, saints and soldiers who for some two and a half millenia
have traveled where all roads lead, we'll sack the city word by cobble, in
conversation, practice, and stride.

The Summer Creative Writing in Rome Program is open to anyone
(undergraduates, graduates, alumni, citizens-at-large) seeking to join an
intensive program in the written arts.

*Application Deadline:  Friday, March 6th.*

How to apply:

Please submit a Letter of Interest, along with names and contact information
for two academic references, to both Rebecca Hoogs and Johnny Horton.  This
may be done by email [rhoogs@gmail.com and jwh476@gmail.com], or by regular
mail, care of the UW English Department (attn: Bridget Norquist.)

Your letter should outline your academic background and writerly interests
and experience, remark on your reasons for wanting to go to Rome, and
highlight what positive and special contributions you might make to a group
constituted for maximum imaginative adventure in one of the world~Rs most
remarkable settings. Formal training in creative writing is less important
to us than pluck, serious enthusiasm, and reliably good humor. We will spend
an intensive month in close quarters, at elevated temperatures and unfamiliar cultural pressures: you must be good company. With that caveat in
mind, the program is wide open. Writers at all levels of experience are
encouraged to apply.

  UCL has recently launched a new Global Citizenship program. One of two major 
  parts of the program is an undergraduate Study Abroad Year organised by STS. 
  The big idea is that undergraduates visit UCL for a year, or part of a year, 
  during which they take several courses centred in science and technology 
  studies while at the same time developing global citizenship skills.
  
  For example they could take part in an action-based course where they 
  collectively design and promote a campaign around a global issue. There are 
  also courses on the politics of science and global climate change, mass 
  media, technologies, globalization and so on.
  
  They would also have the opportunity to select from a range of courses on 
  global issues taught by other departments atUCL. For those undergraduates 
  that were interested we would also try and place them on a short internship 
  in an London-based organisation working on issues related to global 
  citizenship. All together it is, I think, a novel way of broadening 
  undergraduate experience while using the critical insights of science and 
  technology studies to change the world for the better.

We welcome students with a 
  background in natural sciences, humanities or the

The deadline for students to apply for the 2009 
International Field Study Program - Indonesia has been extended to MARCH 6.
 
Professor Randy Kyes has led this summer program since 1995. It's appropriate 
for both undergraduate and graduate students--and is an excellent opportunity 
for students who are interested in conservation biology, animal behavior, 
primatology, environmental science, and/or global health to experience 
firsthand the demands and rewards of living and conducting research in tropical 
field conditions.
 
This year's program runs from the 2nd through the 29th of July. The field site 
is Tinjil Island, a remote island off the southwest coast of West Java, 
Indonesia. The island has been developed as a natural habitat breeding facility 
for longtailed macaque monkeys and is also home to bats, a number of bird and 
reptile species, and a wide variety of insects and crustaceans.

A-Term Summer 2009 foreign study program 
to Serbia and Bosnia  - we study the literature and the history of 
conflict and reconstruction in the contemporary Balkans. We have extended stays in two unique cities, Sarajevo and Belgrade, and make shorter visits to Mostar and Vukovar, sites of considerable wartime conflict and of present efforts to build bridges across the resulting divide. Of course, the region is also a place of great beauty and cultural complexity, that has known as many periods of coexistence as it has known conflict, an intersection of Slavic Language, Ottoman and Austrian culture and of Muslim, Jewish and Christian religion. I have attached a brochure and a poster depicting the restored exterior of Sarajevo's Vijecnica library destroyed during the conflict and now the subject of much conversation about its role in post-conflict Bosnia.
 
It has been a truly transformative experience for the faculty and the students 
who have built this program over the course of the last five years, and I hope 
you will consider applying.

One important deadline for summer program “GO!” Scholarships is coming
up fast (Feb 5).
 
About the Seminar
The India-Himalaya program will focus on integrated community planning
and development in the Kumaon region of Uttarakhand state. The first half of 
the program is based in Sonapani where students will interact with the various 
institutions and organizations in the lower Himalayan areas to understand a 
variety of approaches used in integrated rural
development work. After becoming familiar with the different approaches
to rural development the class will shift base to the village of Sarmoli
in the upper Himalaya. Here students will participate in the community
based tourism program administered by the Village Council. The Sarmoli
homestay program is in response to the growing tourism that is emerging
as a powerful new force, and promises to bring economic benefits to the
communities, but at the same time, threatens existing cultural and
ecological patterns of the region. Students will have an opportunity to
understand the specifics of this program and explore ways in which the
current model could be expanded to other villages, and also include
micro finance and cultural heritage preservation. Students will engage
in a 4/5-day hike to remote villages around Sarmoli to assess the
portability of the Sarmoli model. The final projects will build on work
produced by the 2008 Exploration Seminar, and address the themes of the
class. The results will be presented to the community at the conclusion
of the seminar. Fieldwork will rely on survey, interviews and focus
groups. The work would be carried out in small teams; field
translator(s) will be available as needed.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Call for Applications:
The United States believes that peace depends upon building strong foundations of knowledge that bridge nations, enlarge freedoms, and promote democracy.  The U.S. National Commission for UNESCO Laura W. Bush Traveling Fellowship was established in 2008 to enlist young Americans to work toward this end.  The Fellowship provides supplemental funding for applicant designed proposals to conduct brief activities in a foreign country related to the mandate of the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) - using education, natural sciences, social and human sciences, culture, and/or communication and information to build strong ties among nations.
 
On September 12, 2002, President George W. Bush addressed the United Nations General Assembly and announced the intention of the United States to return to the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), ending nearly a twenty-year absence from the organization, to further help build these foundations.   In February 2003, First Lady Laura Bush was designated by UNESCO as an honorary ambassador, and seven months later Mrs. Bush led the ceremony raising the United States flag at the 32nd UNESCO General Conference, officially marking the return of the United States to UNESCO membership.  It was in the spirit of this dedication to international issues and to furthering human dignity that the U.S. National Commission for UNESCO Laura W. Bush Traveling Fellowship was created.
 
The Fellowship is intended for American college/university students who express an interest in international collaboration but as of yet have not been afforded many opportunities to travel abroad. The length of time for the travel is expected to be between 4 and 6 weeks and should include interaction with individuals from other nations.  More information on the program can be found at: www.state.gov/p/io/unesco/c25462/htm.  Thus far, U.S. National Commission for UNESCO Laura W. Bush Traveling Fellows have traveled to and conducted meaningful work in: Honduras, Guatemala, India, Afghanistan, Dominican Republic, and Kyrgyzstan.
 
The Commission has opened the next call for the Spring/Summer 2009 round of applications for the U.S. National Commission for UNESCO Laura W. Bush Traveling Fellowship for those traveling between May and August 2009.  The deadline for applications will be March 1, 2009 (5:00pm EST).  Eligibility and details about the application process are posted at: http://www.state.gov/p/io/unesco/c25426.htm

Re: National Student Exchange, our domestic study abroad opportunity.  Students have the opportunity to exchange to one of 200 participating institutions nationwide, including 48 States (sorry, North Dakota and Delaware) and 3 U.S Territories. Untold stories of adventure, culture, people, and geography await our students as they exchange to places as close as Portland or as far away (geographically and culturally) as Miami!  Information about all the great advantages of NSE can be found at the National Student Exchange website, http://www.nse.org.

The priority deadline is February 2nd, with applications accepted on a 
space-available basis through Feb. 13th.  Students need to attend an 
information session to learn more about the program and pick up an application.
 
Check the UW NSE website for details (depts.washington.edu/nse).

Tokyo, Hong Kong: Asian Cities, Hybrid Urbanism
 
Applications are being accepted for --
 
UW Exploration Seminar -- Tokyo, Hong Kong: Asian Cities, Hybrid Urbanism
Mid-August to Early September, 2009
 
http://courses.washington.edu/asiacity/
http://depts.washington.edu/explore/programs/2009/japanhk.htm
 
Dense, compact, hybrid, and dynamic are words often used in characterizing the 
urban landscapes of Asian cities. The fluid matrix of social life, urban 
spaces, and mass transportation along with proximity of activities and services 
clearly distinguishes the landscapes of major Asian cities from their North 
American counterparts. This traveling seminar will engage in a close-up 
examination of the urban landscapes of Tokyo and Hong Kong, two iconic cities 
of Asia.
 
Specifically, we will investigate how the urban forms and processes of Tokyo 
and Hong Kong respectively support the everyday life of their millions of 
residents and workers; how they reflect their distinct urban culture; and how 
they function as complex and hybrid urban systems. We will experience the city 
from the street level and taste its flavor from the street vendors.
 
The course will explore various methods of investigation in examining the urban 
characteristics in selected locations within the two cities. Daily activities 
include guided tours, on-site mapping exercises, guest presentations, and 
interactions with the local professionals and citizens. The program will spend 
the first half in Hong Kong and second half in Tokyo.
 
The course is open to all students. Participants will earn 5 credits of L ARCH 
495 Landscape Architecture Studies Abroad. Credits for other courses and VPLA 
requirement can also be arranged.
 
Program Fee: $2600; IPE fee: $200. Merit-based $1,000 are available for 
students going on this and other East and SE Asia programs. To apply, please 
visit: http://depts.washington.edu/explore/forstudents/financialaid.htm. 
Deadline: January 30, 2009.
 
Information meetings: Friday, January 23 (Gould 100), Wednesday, February 4 
(Gould 114), Friday, February 20 (Gould 100) -- all from 5:30 to 6:30pm. 
Students are required to attend one meeting to be admitted into the program.
