Humanities Washington has announced its first cohort of Public Humanities Fellows to plan and implement innovative programs for their communities with an emphasis on reaching under-served audiences. This is the first paid public humanities fellowship of its kind in Washington State, either inside or outside of academia. As a member of the inaugural fellowship cohort, Megan Torgerson, MFA'20, will produce a new series of her podcast “Reframing Rural,” which shares under-told stories of people and places in our country’s most sparsely populated regions. The ten-episode, ten-month season launching September 2022 will celebrate culture and preserve history. “Reframing Rural” explores the resiliency of rural communities, calls attention to the interconnectedness of rural and urban geographies, and ultimately cultivates curiosity and conversation across geographic, class, and cultural divides. Congratulations Megan! You can read more about the Public Humanities Fellows here. Stefanie Fatooh Presenting at Dance Studies Association Conference! Stefanie Fatooh, MFA'22, will be presenting her work Disassembling the Hierarchy of Dance in Academia at the 2022 DASA Conference: Dancing Resilience: Dance Studies and Activism in a Global Age. Congratulations Stefanie! Taking place October 13-16 in Vancouver, British Columbia at Simon Fraser University, presenters will explore dance and activism in localized and transcultural settings, and share strategies for productive change on the stage, street, screen and within the academy. Vancouver has long been a site of occupation, exchange, defiance and resilience. From time immemorial, it has been a location of trade and traversal across coastal Indigenous communities of the Pacific and, in more recent centuries, a place where diverse cultures from across the world have encountered each other and interacted through colonial pathways and settlement. In the same way that Vancouver serves as a powerful and complex example of both vexing histories and determined hope, participants will demonstrate how dance intervenes in a range of issues, including race relations, gender-related rights, and land disputes. DASA will share the frameworks of dancing and dance scholarship that provide space for optimism, activism, and social movement. Graduate students are encouraged to attend and to apply for the Selma Jeanne Cohen Award for outstanding papers, as well as for travel funds through the Graduate Student Travel Grant. Independent and contingent workers are encouraged to apply for travel funds through the Conference Fellowship. The Process Project Call for Submissions!

Transgender in the United States: Challenges Faced by the Gender-Diverse and Opportunities for Cisgender Allies with Dr. Stephanie Dykes In the early decades of the 21st century, transgender persons in the United States are enjoying widespread achievements in a variety of fields. However, many gender-diverse people deal with poverty and violence on a daily basis. Recent years have seen a wave of anti-transgender legislation in states that seek to use transgender people as a wedge issue. Transgender people need the assistance of cisgender allies in order to be able to be all that they can be.
