We are looking for submissions from any discipline as long as they are addressing a political question. Submissions can be from any part of your academic career - we want to hear your interesting ideas and perspectives!

David Perry's Lecture: February 24

 

Zoom Link
Meeting ID: 997 5328 6872
Passcode: 082581

This will be an informal conversation where students can ask Dr. Perry about his work as a journalist and public historian. 

Description: Over the last few years, white supremacists bearing medieval symbols have both marched and committed mass murder around the Anglophone world and throughout Europe. These manifestations of hate, though, are just the tip of a very ugly iceberg. David Perry, journalist and medieval historian, has spent the last few years tracking the connections between medievalism and hate on sites like 8chan, 4chan, and the Neo-Nazi website Stormfront. He argues that we need to understand even the most seemingly innocuous medieval chatter in these spaces as part of a new, dangerous, phenomenon to which everyone studying the medieval past must be ready to respond.

Virtual Career Fair: Wednesday, Feb 24

 

This is a prime opportunity for students to explore career fields, practice professional behavior in a virtual environment, and connect with organizations to apply for internships and entry-level jobs.

Puget Sound has partnered with Lewis & Clark College, Saint Martin’s, and Seattle Pacific University to offer this event, and has attracted a wide range of organizations, including:

• biotech and life sciences organization Fred Hutchinson
• federal government agencies like the State Department and the Food and Drug Administration
• health care organization MultiCare
• tech companies like Pushpay and Zapproved
• large non-profits Mercy Corps and PATH 

Especially for students who are seeking opportunities, we suggest that they register and build their schedules early. While the virtual environment means that they won’t have to wait in line to talk to a recruiter, sessions with popular organizations will be at a premium.
