In the 4th edition of Badass Womxn and Enbies in the Pacific Northwest, undergraduate students in a Gender, Women & Sexuality Studies course at the University of Washington Bothell created a dynamic collection of biographies and portraits that highlight powerful, influential individuals whose stories often go untold. This Zine brings together poetry, art, and writing to honor 30 badass changemakers across various fields and time periods. Led by Dr. Shayne, with the invaluable support of librarians Penelope Wood and Denise Hattwig, as well as our peer facilitator Binta Baldeh, this collaborative project spans generations, celebrating hidden histories with a focus on telling them the right way. Each volume, including this one, is a testament to the creativity, strength and irreplaceable impact of womxn and enbies in our region. We hope you feel as inspired reading their stories as we did curating them.

Jacob Lawrence (1917-2000) is widely recognized as one of the most important American artists of the 20th century. He is best known for epic multi-panel narratives like the Migration Series (1940-1941) and Struggle: from the History of the American People (1954-56), which he created as a young artist living and working in in New York City. The second half of Lawrence’s career, which he spent in Seattle as a Professor of Art at the University of Washington, has received far less attention. The essays in this volume, researched and written by the participants in the Spring 2021 art history seminar “Art and Seattle: Jacob Lawrence” at the University of Washington School of Art + Art History + Design, fill in this gap. In so doing, we take our lead from the artist’s own framing of the Seattle period as a critical stage in his artistic development, in which conceptual and formal concerns explored across his long career converged and became more of the sum of their parts.

This book contains a series of case studies authored by graduate students in CM515 Virtual Construction Management Spring 2024. We explored how people, teams, and companies change practices with a variety of new technologies in the workplace. You will find cases of people who are innovators, teams who took on innovation, and specific design and construction projects that realized these innovation practice changes.

The Design Case Studies offer instructors with a starting point for introducing students to the design of technology and policy. Students work with value sensitive design methods to develop tech policy solutions.
