They presented their findings to the commission last month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Laying the groundwork<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The collaboration was a year in the making. Doug Raiford, race and social justice coordinator for Lynnwood, met Jung whose MAPS course, Practicum in Policy Studies, provides students with an opportunity to explore different social policy issues through direct engagement and service. It seemed like the right match for the city\u2019s ambitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/05\/WorldCafe-Nate3-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25356\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">World Caf\u00e9 community engagement event; courtesy photo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To understand the city\u2019s current position in the eyes of its community members, the students first spent time analyzing results from a 2021 equity survey of more than 800 residents served by four cultural and community organizations. To gain more current input, the students also organized a \u201cworld caf\u00e9\u201d event at which more than 100 people of varying backgrounds came together to respectfully discuss and share their concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The students reported that the opportunity to engage directly with a diverse range of individuals from unique communities was both illuminating and inspiring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEach rotation produced new conversations and experiences,\u201d said student Sofi Anderson. \u201cIt was inspiring to witness how each group would feed off each other, and how similarities between different groups fostered new relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur group took away valuable factors that helped us to truly empathize with the community and gain an understanding of their needs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More equitable housing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Anderson\u2019s group, which also included Daramfon Ayeni, Hamdi Mohamed and Shaunice Wilson, worked with the YWCA on the equitable housing initiative. From the equity survey and world caf\u00e9, they identified three main issues: 1) rent increases leading to housing insecurity; 2) renter dissatisfaction with landlords due to unclear tenant rights; and 3) a lack of knowledge, creating power imbalances and therefore making it difficult for renters to advocate for their needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through group discussions and one-to-one conversations, the students learned that immigrant participants especially feared deportation or becoming homeless \u2014 and that much of this stemmed from language barriers and difficulty navigating rental agreements and leases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe were truly enlightened by this experience,\u201d said Wilson. \u201cNot only did it give us insights on how to collect, analyze and use qualitative data to inform policy recommendations, but it also gave us an opportunity to engage with community members at the forefront of these issues. We learned that rarely did they have access to decision-makers about what policy decisions look like on the ground.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on their findings, the students proposed a multi-pronged strategy to the DEI commission. \u201cWe recommended language-specific training and workshops on tenants\u2019 rights and simplifying the paperwork, as well as further engagement with community- and culture-based organizations,\u201d said Mohamed. \u201cMore long-term, we also suggested affordable housing units with services to address addiction and mental health.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Language of progress<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The world caf\u00e9 event was also an invaluable eye-opener for the graduate students who took on the imitative focused on language and technology training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/05\/WorldCafeProgram-cropped-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25357\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe learned there were a lot more interests and a greater need for resources than we initially thought,\u201d said Noah Carper, who along with Doanthuy Nguyen and Nicholas Della Giustina worked on this issue with the Latino Educational Training Institute, one of UW Bothell\u2019s longtime community partners. \u201cWe wanted to be truly representative of the entire community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The student group uncovered a high demand for more language lessons with different learning styles; for spaces to explore native culture and to get support to keep individual cultures alive; for technology literacy assistance; and for services for immigrants, the elderly and people who are disabled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEven though each story was unique,\u201d said Nguyen, \u201cmost of the concerns would become common themes and speak to the purpose of building a safer and more welcoming environment [in which] to reside and work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, these students recommended additional academic and language tutoring, while emphasizing that it is important to immigrants that they can maintain their native language as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe also recommended advanced software classes for adults on important topics such as banking and doing taxes,\u201d Nguyen said. \u201cBut equally important, these classes should be offered outside of the work week for accessibility. Timing is&nbsp;key.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keeping culture alive<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For their diaspora initiative, students Cameron Dunlap and Nate Samuelson gleaned information from the equity survey, gained insights at the world caf\u00e9 and attended meetings of the Washington State Coalition of African Community Leaders. Their goal was to learn more about how Lynwood could partner with that organization and work to better serve the local African community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Language barriers were a concern, said Dunlap, \u201cbut mainly, for this population, a growing issue was the lack of cost-effective resources and extracurricular opportunities for youth. We discovered that people wanted these activities to be appropriate to their communities and provide exposure to different cultures.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of Dunlap and Samuelson\u2019s recommendations \u2014 to build more accessible parks \u2014 would take time and require capital expenditures, so they also suggested more immediate and affordable options such as after-school sports and interactive games in public spaces that already exist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To encourage engagement across cultures, they proposed the city host an \u201cinternational day\u201d to build a shared sense of community by showcasing cultures from around the world that are represented in the city\u2019s population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Continuing the work<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Jung said he was inspired by the quality and thoroughness of the students\u2019 work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI was proud of their presentations and how they showed themselves to be quite professional, purpose-embedded, sincere and engaged researchers,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe way they developed and held the world caf\u00e9 event demonstrated how a people-centered approach can be a powerful praxis for community engagement,\u201d he added. \u201cIt has great potential to be scaled up as a creative engagement method.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Lu Jiang, chair of the Lynnwood Diversity, Equity &amp; Inclusion Commission, \u201cthe students gave us some new information to consider. We will utilize each presentation to inform our goals to make Lynnwood a more equitable and welcoming city.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The students are continuing to engage with the city during spring quarter through another core MAPS course: Management &amp; Program Evaluation, taught by Dr. Charlie Collins, associate professor in the School of IAS. They are also exploring the possibility of working with Lynnwood\u2019s ParksLove project to help center equity in park system planning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UW Bothell graduate students research ways to help the city of Lynnwood realize its goal to become more equitable and welcoming.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":25357,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"page-templates\/news-article-secondary.php","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_is_archived":false,"_archived_contact_email":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[202,218,197,214,204],"tags":[],"school":[419],"class_list":["post-24475","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-campus-news","category-community-engagement","category-news-releases","category-research","category-students","school-school-of-ias"],"acf":{"related_links":{"toggle_visibility":false,"link_1":null,"link_2":null,"link_3":null,"link_4":null,"link_5":null},"highlight_box":{"toggle_visibility":false,"title":"","content":"","button":null,"button_style":"angled-purple-button","button_screen_reader_text":""},"contact_type_1":{"toggle_visibility":true,"contact_title":"","email":"","phone":"","box":"","address_line_1":"","address_line_2":"","location":""},"contact_type_2":{"toggle_visibility":false,"contact_title":"","email":"","phone":"","box":"","address_line_1":"","address_line_2":"","location":""},"social_media":{"toggle_visibility":false,"facebook_url":"","instagram_url":"","linkedin_url":"","twitter_url":"","youtube_url":""},"blog_archive_sidebar_visibility":false},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
