Government In An Evolving Democracy Artee Young American studies government law and government policy law and public policy political science		Program	FR–SRFreshmen–Senior	12	12	Day				Su 14 Full Summer	The defining question for this program is: What good is government? Why do we pay for “government” and what does it give “Us?” Why does Washington State have the most regressive tax structure in the United States and the second highest national college tuition rate? How are Washington state laws related to vehicle licensing permits as connected with the voter Initiative process?” Why do western states have an Initiative process? How do United States Supreme Court rulings effect ideas, policies and laws about gender, marriage, gun control, education and media? What is infrastructure and how does state-level investment in construction differ from tht invested in human-delivered social/educational services? Why are roads, bridges and dams mentioned in the media only when they fail? How do gun laws like “Stand Your Ground” relate to the criminal justice system? Why are food, clothing, shelter and water so expensive? What is the role of both state and Federal government in: Food production? Housing? Privacy? Water? Health? Education? This course provides students with theoretical and pragmatic knowledge about how government and democratic systems function in the United States and in the State of Washington. The approach to this body of information focuses on national, state, and local branches of government. Themes include, but are not limited to, federalism, states' rights, and citizens' participatory governance and individual rights. In addition to the text, students are required to read assigned U. S. Supreme Court and Washington State cases. Students are expected to write short papers and maintain a journal on the reading assignments for preparation to participate in class discussions. Students will work in groups to complete a final project. The program also includes field trips to the Temple of Justice in Olympia as well as visits with self-selected state representatives and/or local officials in Washington State. Credit may be awarded in civics, government and political science. Parts of the curriculum may also contribute to minimum coursework expectations for various teaching endorsements.

Immigration Law and History of the U.S. Southern Border Arleen Sandifer government history law and government policy law and public policy		Course	FR–SRFreshmen–Senior	4	04	Evening and Weekend				Su 14 Session I Summer	In its first words on the subject of citizenship, Congress in 1790 restricted naturalization to ‘white persons.’ [T]his racial prerequisite to citizenship endured for over a century and a half, remaining in force until 1952. From the earliest years of this country until just a generation ago, being a "white person" was a condition for acquiring citizenship.” -- Ian Haney Lopez, , 1. Most people do not realize that the notion of the United States as a “white” majority nation is largely a construction of law. In this course, we examine how our understanding of immigration history and law changes if we shift our view from Ellis Island in New York’s harbor to the U.S. southern border. We’ll examine the current landscape of immigration law and policy and restrictionist and immigrant-rights movements. We’ll critically analyze how concepts of race are embedded in immigration law and policy and how those embedded concepts drive the current debates on immigration reform. Students will build some basic legal skills through reading and researching important cases and laws. We’ll look at the historical context within which immigration issues relating to the southern U.S. border have arisen and continue to be defined. We will examine current controversies about immigration, immigrant workers, labor movements, and the varied ways communities respond to the most recent immigration boom.Major areas of study include: U.S. history, immigration history, immigration law, politics, American studies, and critical race theory. This course is preparatory for careers and future studies in history, law, labor organizing, government and politics.

Ocean Life and Environmental Policy Erik Thuesen biology environmental studies law and government policy law and public policy marine science political science		Program	FR ONLYFreshmen Only	16	16	Day	F 13 Fall				Water is essential to life, and the environmental policies related to marine and aquatic ecosystems will provide many of the subjects for our study in this full-year program. When combined with introductory policy components starting with the Pacific Northwest and looking globally, our studies of the biological, physical and chemical characteristics of oceans will provide the valuable knowledge necessary to make instrumental decisions about marine resources and habitats. It is essential to understand the interconnections between biology and ecology in order to make informed decisions about how environmental policy should proceed. This core program is designed to provide scientific skills and policy knowledge necessary to understand problems facing Earth’s ecosystems. Learning will take place through lectures, seminars, a workshop series and biology laboratory exercises. Work in the field and multi-day field trips in fall and winter are also planned to gain first-hand exposure to various marine environments.In the fall, we will cover standard topics of first year college biology, using marine organisms as our foci. The overall objective of this component is to gain basic familiarity with the biology and ecology of ocean life. We will examine the use and abuse of decision-making authority in order to assess how science and culture interact to safeguard endangered biota. Specific topics will include policies surrounding marine mammals, anadromous fish, ocean acidification, etc. Fall quarter topics will be mostly gathered from local and regional issues.

This core program is designed to provide scientific skills and policy knowledge necessary to understand problems facing Earth’s ecosystems. Learning will take place through lectures, seminars, a workshop series and laboratory exercises.We will approach these issues from the perspective of the whole ocean ecosystem: how do currents, seasons, nutrient cycles, and other physical and chemical properties affect life in our oceans? What part does each type of organism play within the ecosystem? How can changes in one component of the ecosystem have ripple effects on the rest? We will apply this scientific knowledge to critically assess important marine environmental issues, focusing on ocean acidification, climate change, fisheries policy, and deep-sea mining. A week-long field trip to Friday Harbor will provide hands-on oceanographic experience, and a trip to the Capitol will allow us to witness legislation of important marine issues in action.

Pacific Northwest History: Multicultural Perspectives Michael Vavrus history law and government policy political economy		Course	FR–GRFreshmen–Graduate	4	04	Day				Su 14 Session I Summer	Pacific Northwest History introduces multicultural aspects of historical developments of this region. A primary learning objective is for students to be able to articulate through concrete historical examples how liberty and justice has been interpreted and applied in the Northwest. With texts that provide accessible historical accounts, students will be exposed to Native American Indian perspectives on the eventual occupation of their lands by European imperialists, the origins and outcomes of competition among Europeans for the Pacific Northwest, and challenges placed on non-European ethnic groups – such as Chinese Americans, African Americans, Mexican Americans, Japanese Americans – during the 19 and 20 centuries and into the 21 century. Attention to the experiences of women in making this history is included. The local historical development of Tacoma is used to highlight the role of capitalism in creating governing bodies and class differences among white European Americans who collectively discriminated against the aspirations of people of color.Pacific Northwest History also meets a teacher education endorsement requirement for elementary education, middle-level humanities, social studies, and history. Films and other course material periodically describe and present images of violence and use language that may be considered offensive. The purpose of this material is to present significant events within their respective historical contexts.		Michael Vavrus			Summer	Summer
Political Economy of Media Lawrence Mosqueda and Michael Vavrus communications community studies history international studies law and government policy law and public policy media studies political economy political science Signature Required: Spring		Program	SO–SRSophomore–Senior	16	16	Day		W 14Winter	S 14Spring		In this program students will investigate how political events are constructed and reported in the media, compared to actual political and economic realities. By media we mean mainstream periodicals, television, radio and films and emerging social media. We also include the growth of Internet blogs, websites, independent media and other media outlets in the 21st century. We will take a historical approach that focuses on U.S. history from the colonial era to contemporary globalization. We will compare corporate media concentration of ownership to community-controlled media and social media. We will examine how issues surrounding race, class and gender are perceived by the media and subsequently by the public. During winter quarter, students will receive a theoretical and historical grounding in the political economy of the media. We will explore the question of who owns the media and what difference this makes to how stories are reported, framed, sourced or just ignored. Films, lectures and readings, along with text-based seminars, will compose the primary structures used by this learning community. Students will regularly engage in a critical reading of and other media outlets. Also during the winter quarter, students will create a research proposal that includes an annotated bibliography. Research projects may either be traditional research papers or equivalent projects determined in collaboration with the faculty, such as an independent media blog or website. During spring quarter, students will devote approximately half of the program time to completing their proposed projects and presenting the results of their research. The remaining program time will focus more in-depth on program themes as we examine contemporary issues through a variety of sources.
