The media, popular psychology and scholarly journals are filled
with accounts of differences between women and men. In this
program, we will examine the psychological, political and
biological bases for the claims made about sex and gender
from different perspectives (postmodern thought, women's and
men's studies, etc.). We will reconsider how this affects
daily lives in relationships, in the workplace and in educational
settings. Specific program topics are likely to include sexuality,
parenting, concepts of self, mental health and many forms
of violence, including war. Finally, we will look at the new
scholarship that examines differences within genders.
Credit will be awarded in psychology, sociology and gender
studies. top
Representing the World: Order and Chaos
8 credits

MW, 6-10p, LIB 1316
Enrollment: 50
CRN: 20162
The world around us appears to be orderly. The sun rises and
sets in a predictable pattern. Before the modern era, thinkers
constructed persuasive systems to account for much of the
apparent order in the physical universe. In fall we ended
with praise for the scope and power of Newton's scientific
synthesis, which launched the modern, technological era.
In winter, we will begin by looking at some of the problems
with the Newtonian clockwork universe. The sun does obey Newton's
laws and the planets wander predictable paths, but only if
considered in very short (human) time frames. The larger temporal
picture is chaotic and uncertain. Even Euclidean geometry
only works in very short (human) spatial frames.
Apparently many of the things of which we are easily persuaded
must be critically examined. Maybe the universe is a fundamentally
confusing and random thing, and we selectively examine events
to create the illusion of order. Maybe order and chaos will
both be part of any representation of our experience. We will
consider the possibilities as we read texts from Nietzsche,
Freud and chaos theorists.
Credit will be awarded in history of science, philosophy and
college mathematics.

discussing how principles are applied to specific conservation
problems, a hour of questions and discussion with the
guest lecturer/or class discussion and writing, and a
final hour of debriefing and review. Each class member
will be required to do a number of written homework assignments
based on readings or lectures. Finally, each student will
be responsible for writing a proposal and research paper
on some aspect of conservation biology and formally presenting
that paper to the class.

Critical Area Analysis using GIS
4 credits
Faculty: Ken Tabbutt, ext. 6558
M, 6-10p, LAB I 1051
Prerequisites: Graduate standing or faculty signature.
Undergraduates must have junior standing or above. Regularly
enrolled graduate students have preference.
CRN: 20237 (Graduate); CRN: 20238 (Undergraduate)
The Washington State Growth Management Act (1998) designates
Critical Areas as the following areas and ecosystems:
(a) Wetlands; (b) areas with a critical recharging effect
on aquifers used for potable water; (c) fish and wildlife
habitat conservation areas; (d) frequently flooded areas;
and (e) geologically hazardous areas. In this class we
will examine how these areas are delineated and why they
are considered "critical". The designation of critical
areas restricts the development of private and public
property. The consequences of this designation on development
and growth will also be investigated. Students will be
introduced to ArcView and ArcInfo Geographic Information
Systems (GIS). These applications will provide the tools
that students will use to develop applied projects that
focus on one or more critical areas. top
Education Policy

What is education policy? Who decides? Using your own
education philosophy and experience we will examine current
issues in United States education, compare policies of
other countries, and explore relationships between research
(especially brain) and policy. Topics include the high
standards movement, equity, funding, vouchers, public/private
education, interest group influence. Expect additional
topics and opportunities to interact with policy makers
and educators. You will choose, analyze and compare a
U.S. policy to another country's.

Environmental Analysis using Law

What do air pollution or industrial pig farmiong stench
have to do with trespass? Many environmental issues, from
water rights to global warming, find their roots in regulatory
law. While much is written about civil (public) and criminal
judiciaries, less discussed are aspects of executive and
legislative discretion (RCWs) administered by federal,
state and local agencies. Groups such as DOT, DNR, USFW,
DOH have the capacity to govern, imposing fines, hearing
appeals, redefining rules, with the minimum electoral
oversight or intervention. By means of this elective students
will contextualize an ecology-threatening issue, in small
group collaboration, by establishing its governing jurisdictions,
'hammers', and latitude in enforcement.

It's widely agreed that an environmentally literate and
concerned citizenry is crucial to environmental quality-but
how and where does environmental education occur? And
where it occurs, is it effective? This class will explore
the history, philosophical underpinnings and current trends
in environmental education for youth and adults, in both
formal sectors (schools and colleges) and non-formal ones.
We will examine model environmental education (EE) curricula
and efforts in the region, and reflect on the tensions
inherent in engaging learners with highly charged and
complex issues. Class participants will be able to pursue
an area of interest for a research paper and final concluding
class discussion. This class will provide a theoretical
and practical introduction to the field of environmental
education. It will be useful to students interested in
environmental teaching as a career, or to those whose
environmental work might involve educational components. top

What is your philosophy of employment? What laws and
ethics frame your decisions? How do you assess your work
group's needs in order to hire appropriately? How do you
write a job description and create an interview and reference
check process that gives your new hire the best chance
of success? How can you evaluate performance and give
constructive feedback? How can you fire someone legally
and humanely? We will simulate all of these activities.

This required foundation course within the MPA Public
Policy Concentration will explore the complexity and diversity
surrounding the policymaking process. We will examine
how public policy is made, implemented, and evaluated
by studying various complicated and controversial policy
arenas within the current cultural, social, economic and
political environment. Acknowledging that there is not
a grand theory or design of policy formulation, we will
examine multiple framework and tools building on theoretical
foundations that deconstruct common assumptions. Through
the use of case study, guest speakers and workshops in
this weekend and WebX intensive course is designed to
encourage discussion, help students think critically and
actively about vital issues and to facilitate further
research.
