[biolprog at uw.edu]

Just wanted to share that we have several courses that are either new or
recently added to the schedule that still have open seats for Spring
quarter, and all cover general ed credits and have no prerequisites. Please
share with your students if helpful.

 


AIS 431 Topics in Indigenous Education
<https://ais.washington.edu/courses/2022/spring/ais/431/a>  (5 credits)


Course Description: The purpose of this course is to provide an overview of
topics surrounding Indigenous education, stemming from the original
intentions of schooling in relation to Indigenous/ American Indian/ First
Nation students to the current reform efforts to Indigenize the curriculum
within public schools both nationally and globally. The course will cover
theoretical, and culturally sustaining revitalizing pedagogies, and
anticolonial/ decolonial praxis to situate Indigenous education. Using a
critical lens provided from the course readings and materials uncovers
coloniality that permeates in cultural, social, economic, and political
domains within the public school systems that are not designed for
minoritized students. To address these issues in public school systems,
developed Indigenous education curricula in current school systems serve as
the bases for starting to re/imagine, re/claim, and re/design what preK-12
teaching and learning could begin to look like.  

Instructor: Shayla Chatto

Course Prerequisite: None

Quarters Scheduled for: Spring 2022

Gen Edu Req: I&S and DIV

<https://ais.washington.edu/courses/2022/spring/ais/275/b>  (5 credits)


Course Description: Surveys indigenous art of the Pacific Northwest Coast
from the Columbia River in the south to Southeast Alaska in the north and
from ancient through contemporary times. Focuses on the historical and
cultural contexts of the art and the stylistic differences between tribal
and individual artists' styles.

AIS 310 Lushootseed in the Seasonal Calendar
<https://ais.washington.edu/courses/2022/spring/ais/310/a>  (5 credits)


Course Description: This course begins with readings and research to build
discussions pertaining to cultural connections of cultural calendars,
historical ways of life and cultural sensitivities. Topics of research and
study will include stories of seasons, the moon cycles, tides, commonly used
language terms and a geographical study that demonstrates plant, food
sources, and typical weather, all of which takes place during each season
and month. The historical studies will provide the necessary connections
that will build an understanding to what cultural aspects still continue
today and aid in the production of a modern cultural calendar as each
student will construct an individual calendar through their own research.
Although not required, this course is an excellent avenue for additional
study of the AIS 3-quarter Southern Lushootseed sequence.

Instructor: Tami Hohn

Course Prerequisite: None, no previous Lushootseed study required

Quarters Scheduled for: Spring 2022

Gen Edu Req: I&S or VLPA and DIV
