HOW KNOWLEDGE CLAIMS CAN BE UNJUST AND WHAT WE CAN DO ABOUT IT

Presented by John Saltmarsh, University of Massachusetts, Boston; Adam Bush, College Unbound; James Lin, GLIDE Foundation/Glide Memorial Church; John Loggins, University of San Diego; Chris Nayve, University of San Diego; Star Plaxton-Moore, University of San Francisco; Linda Caballero Sotelo, New Americans Museum

In her landmark 2007 book, Epistemic Injustice: Power and the Ethics of Knowing, the philosopher Miranda Fricker shows how individuals can be wronged in their roles as knowers. Fricker demonstrates that members of powerful groups devalue the knowledge claims of members of less powerful groups and, by denying the less powerful access to resources, prevent them from organizing information in ways that enable them to make effective knowledge claims. She calls these wrongs epistemic injustice. In this session, participants will come together as a learning community of engaged scholars to explore Fricker’s ideas and their application to the work of community engagement. We will examine how Fricker’s framework has been applied in recent scholarship on democratic participation and social change and consider its implications for transforming the work of community engagement. Participants will learn about the defining elements of epistemic justice/injustice, discover the potential epistemic and ethical repercussions of injustice for individuals and communities through participation in a story circle, and discuss how to promote epistemic justice in community engagement endeavors.

Admission: $100

LEARNING FROM SEATTLE (AND OTHER CITIES): PLACE-BASED COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT FOR JUSTICE AND EQUITY
Pre-conference Session & Embedded Institute

Presented by: the Place-Based Justice Network, Molly Ayers, Gonzaga University; Jamie Ducar, University of Pittsburgh; Kent Koth, Seattle University; John Loggins, University of San Diego; Nolizwe Nondabula, University of San Francisco; Erin O’Keefe, Loyola University Maryland; Jennifer Pigza, Saint Mary's College of California

The pace of change in communities across the country and around the world has deepened inequalities and tested the limits of higher education community engagement. This session is an opportunity to learn from and with practitioners of place-based community engagement strategies designed on the principle that communities and higher education institutions should work in sustained partnerships to identify pathways to greater equity, justice, and voice. Participants will learn about various examples of place-based engagement and will visit sites of action in Seattle.

This pre-conference session and embedded institute will include a pre-conference session from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM on Sunday, March 29, a community tour on Monday, March 30, and several recommended conference sessions and opportunities for reflection throughout the conference.

Admission: $125*

*The admission price for this session includes participation in Monday's community tour as well as embedded sessions and meetings throughout the conference. Read more about the community tours below.

10:00 AM - 1:00 PM on Monday, March 30

In Seattle, the University of Washington and Seattle University along with dozens of community partners have drawn upon the approach of place-based community engagement to develop comprehensive neighborhood-based strategies connecting campus and community. Through these site visits, participants will explore the historical and contemporary context of one Seattle neighborhood and learn how neighborhood and university leaders are co-creating new ways of partnering and pursuing positive social change. Site visit participants will initially gather together for a brief overview and framing before traveling in smaller groups to one of six distinct Seattle neighborhoods.

TOUR LOCATIONS:

Othello-UW Commons

The development of Sound Transit Light Rail over the last decade has fundamentally changed the south end of Seattle—bringing historically disinvested neighborhoods the opportunities and challenges associated with economic development and gentrification. The area around Othello station is the historic home to South Asian and East African immigrant communities in Seattle, and sits in one of the most diverse zip codes in the country. While the University of Washington holds multiple long-time partnerships with Southeast Seattle communities, the opening of the Othello-UW Commons (uw.edu/othello) in January 2019 has ushered in a new chapter of collaboration and partnership between the University and the surrounding community. This community tour will be led by the Manager of the Othello-UW Commons, and will engage community partners, students, and residents in a conversation about the strengths and challenges associated with this kind of community-campus collaboration

Beacon Hill: El Centro de la Raza

The Beacon Hill neighborhood in South Seattle is the historic and cultural home to a diverse group of communities. Similar to many other neighborhoods in the fast growing city of Seattle, Beacon Hill has faced significant pressures of gentrification and displacement of long-term residents. This site visit will explore the University of Washington’s robust partnerships with one community hub for Seattle’s Latino community, El Centro de la Raza (The Center for People of All Races) (elcentrodelaraza.org) in their efforts to work for solutions to racism, poverty and other community issues. Highlights will include speaking with community partners about El Centro’s wide range of social services programs, learning about the Plaza Roberto Maestas mixed-use affordable housing project and exploring how University of Washington faculty and students connect with the Beacon Hill community to address critical social issues.

University District

The Doorway Project (dorwayproject.org) is a University of Washington and YouthCare (youthcare.org) led initiative supported by the Washington State Legislature (Substitute Senate Bill 5883; 2017). The Doorway focuses on addressing youth and young adult homelessness in the University District through continuous community-engaged collaboration with U District service providers and community members. The primary aim of the Doorway is to center the voices of youth and young adults in the U-district who are experiencing homelessness in order to co-develop and evaluate a comprehensive and effective service model that ultimately reduces youth homelessness and improves quality of life for all affected. Participants in this community tour will learn more about youth and young adult homelessness in the U-district, understand the structure and goals of the Doorway, and hear from participating community collaborators.

Chinatown-International District

The Seattle Chinatown-International District (C-ID) is the historic and cultural home of Chinese, Japanese, Filipino and Vietnamese American communities. Through strong community activism and long-term planning, the neighborhood is working to honor its historical and current cultural context while remaining equitable and affordable to all residents. Seattle University partners with organizations in the C-ID through a variety of cross-disciplinary efforts. Co-led by community and university leaders, this site visit will explore how place shapes partnerships in one of Seattle's oldest neighborhoods.

Yesler Terrace

Yesler Terrace is the oldest public housing community West of the Mississippi and the first public housing community in the nation to be racially integrated. With support from a HUD Choice Neighborhood Grant, Seattle Housing Authority is currently facilitating a comprehensive neighborhood redevelopment of Yesler Terrace that will, upon completion, lead to a densely populated mixed-income neighborhood. Since 2012, Seattle University has served as the lead education partner on the Choice Neighborhood grant. In this role, the University has facilitated a collective impact effort uniting multiple neighborhood education partners to support Yesler children and their families. Co-led by leaders from Seattle Housing Authority and Seattle University, this site visit will include a visit to Yesler Terrace, Bailey Gatzert Elementary School, and several additional community organizations to explore the opportunities and challenges of supporting a neighborhood experiencing significant transition.

Central District

The Central District is historic and current home of Seattle's African American community. In recent years the neighborhood has faced significant pressures of gentrification and the displacement of long-term residents. Pursuing a vision of equity and justice, local leaders have mobilized to preserve the racial and cultural context of the neighborhood. Through visits to local schools, community organizations and public spaces, this visit will explore the complex role of universities in supporting equitable development while mitigating and interrupting institutionalized racism.
