Events

In celebration of International Women's Day on March 8, 2025, the Women in Engineering faculty committee is hosting a special brunch event. We invite you to join us for a morning of networking, inspiration and celebration of women's achievements in engineering.

NeuroMinds Collective is a safe haven for students where your neurodiversity is celebrated, understood, and supported. We're a community of students who share diverse cognitive profiles, including ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia, and more. At NeuroMinds, we celebrate, understand, and support differently wired brains. Whether you self-identify as neurodivergent or are questioning and exploring if you might be, you're welcome here! Join facilitators Rania (she/they) and Chris (he/him) and become part of a supportive community where you are encouraged to show up exactly as you are, share your challenges and achievements, learn more about your neurotype and connect with others who truly get it. The aim is to build a tight-knit network where you can freely express your thoughts, concerns, and achievements in a judgment-free zone. These sessions are open to any and all self-identified neurodivergent UW students – no diagnosis necessary.

This presentation will go over the basics of Gender-Based Analysis Plus (GBA+) including examples that highlight its usefulness, steps researchers can take, and questions they can ask themselves to start the GBA+ analysis of their research.

This presentation will cover highlights of deceptively simple concepts theorized by Indigenous scholars for community-engaged research projects—known as the “Decolonial “R’s” of Research”—and together, we will consider their expansive meanings and implications in a typical university-based research project lifecycle.
