There's an active shooter on campus. What do you do? We're conducting an all-campus lockdown drill on Thursday, Sept. 13, at 10:45 a.m. It may be in the middle of class. Or a meeting. It may be inconvenient. It may mean your safety and the safety of those around you in the event of an actual emergency. Get ready. Review lockdown procedures and watch the training video Shots Fired on Campus (login required). Make sure we have your cellphone number. You will not receive a security alert about the drill—or future emergency notices—if we don't have your current cellphone number. Update your personal contact information at myPugetSound → HR → Self Service → Personal Information.

Jane Carlin, Collins Memorial Library, presented at the Art Libraries Conference of the United Kingdom and Ireland, held at the Architectural Association in London this summer. Her presentation, "Artists’ Books as Catalysts of Social Change," focused on how these unique publications can help diversify library collections. Andrew Gardner, sociology and anthropology, was recently invited to the London School of Economics to deliver a presentation on the resurgence of tribalism in Qatar. His paper, "On Tribalism and Arabia," was part of the small workshop "Tribe and State in the Middle East," hosted by the LSE’s Middle East Centre. Andrew also recently delivered the presentation "Journey to Arabia: An Ethnographic Portrait of Migration in the Indian Ocean World" at University of California, Berkeley. ORIAS, the Office of Resources for International and Area Studies, annually organizes a summer institute for community college professors and high school teachers, and Andrew’s paper was part of a three-paper series on migration and mobility in the Middle East.
In July, Sara Protasi, philosophy, and Katy Curtis, Collins Memorial Library, presented the collaborative project "Teaching Ancient Greek Women Philosophers at a Small Liberal Arts College" at the 22nd Biennial AAPT International Workshop-Conference on Teaching Philosophy. Their presentation described methodological challenges concerning this topic and introduced attendees to strategies used to integrate research into a discussion of female philosophers, including a hands-on demonstration of digital tools students used to share their work.
Holly Roberts, physical therapy, presented two posters, "Comparison of Normative Values for the Sensory Organization Test and the Enhanced Sensory Organization Test in the Military Population" and "A Survey of Entry-Level Physical Therapy Education Content for Vestibular Rehabilitation: A Pilot Study," at the International Conference for Vestibular Rehabilitation in Chicago.
Heather White, religious studies and gender and queer studies, is a participant in the three-year workshop “Teaching Against Islamophobia.” The workshop is co-sponsored by the Wabash Center for Teaching and Learning in Religion and Theology and by The American Academy of Religion, and equips scholars "with the pedagogical knowledge, tools, and strategies to teach about, and against, anti-Muslim prejudice.”
