Hi,
After the summer hiatus the Change Seminar is looking for speakers
for the fall quarter. As usual we are scheduled to meet in CSE 203 at
12pm on Tuesdays.
Please contact me if you are interested in speaking at Change and I
can get you on the schedule. Right now we have several openings for the
beginning of October.
Additionally, if you know of anyone in your department -- or who
might be passing though Seattle -- who would be interested in sharing
their ideas with the Change community please let me know and pass along
the below information about the seminar.
*Some Background On Change*
Change meets at noon each Tuesdays during the quarter. We try to be as
interdisciplinary as possible and include students, faculty and staff
from around UW. We cover topics such as global health, education, micro
finance, agriculture, and communication, and look at how technology can
be used to support development in each of these areas. The idea is for
us to learn from each other and collaborate where appropriate.
Generally talks are between 30 and 40 min long with time for questions
and answers at the end. It is a very informal setting share and exchange
ideas about technology for developing regions. Over the last year the
Change Seminar has grown to a weekly average of 30 people and that is in
large part due to the excellent speakers we have had.
Thanks,
- Trevor Perrier
