Instead, she has stayed for nearly 20, earning a bachelor\u2019s degree in Comparative History of Ideas at UW Seattle (2004), earning a master\u2019s degree in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/ias\/graduate\/cultural-studies\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cultural Studies<\/a> at UW Bothell (2023) and working in the CHID program, first as an academic adviser and now as the director of Learning Communities.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI have had a breadth of experiences at UW,\u201d Anderson said, \u201cand these experiences have shaped the work I do and how I move through this world as the person I am today.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The University was shaped by Anderson, too. As an undergraduate student, she helped to create and facilitate a 200-level course. And as a staff member,\u201d said Dr. Anu Taranath, teaching professor in CHID and the Department of English, she has been \u201ca powerful advocate for BIPOC students, staff and faculty across the UW.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In recognition of all that Anderson has contributed to the UW, she has been named a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washington.edu\/husky100\/about\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Husky 100 honoree.<\/a> Each year, the UW recognizes 100 undergraduate and graduate students from the Bothell, Seattle and Tacoma campuses who are making the most of their time at the University. The recipients actively connect what happens inside and outside of the classroom, applying what they learn to make a difference on campus and in community. Anderson is\u202f<a href=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/husky100\/2023\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">one of eight students from UW Bothell recognized in 2023<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Strength in differences, not similarities<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Anderson\u2019s college journey started in 2004 when she was accepted into the Comparative History of Ideas program at the UW in Seattle. \u201cThe major encourages students to study topics they feel most passionate about and to not only reflect on what they know but how they know it and how it influences the ways in which they navigate the world,\u201d Anderson said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This felt like the perfect program for Anderson who, at the time, was trying to make sense of her own lived experiences as a Pakistani adoptee. She took courses that \u201cchallenged students to investigate the meanings of race, gender, class, sexuality and other social differences \u2014 and discuss how ideas about differences and diversity play out in society, on campus and in our own lives,\u201d she explained.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her interest in these topics and her passion for diversity and equity were noticed by Dr. Jeanette Bushnell, a part time-lecturer in CHID who invited Anderson even as a student to co-create and co-facilitate a 200-level CHID course titled (Re)Thinking Diversity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI feel fortunate to have been a part of creating that class and humbled that it continues to be taught. It pushes students to reflect on their own diversity stories,\u201d she said. \u201cIt is one of my proudest accomplishments at the UW.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Sharing knowledge and expertise<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Upon receiving her bachelor\u2019s degree in 2006, Anderson accepted a position as an academic adviser for CHID, where she has now dedicated nearly 18 years to supporting students. Through this role, Anderson has helped thousands<em> <\/em>of undergraduates navigate higher education \u2014 a challenge she is familiar with as she was the first in her family to graduate with a four-year college degree.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI remember being told by a high school guidance counselor that since there was no one in my family who had attended a four-year college, she didn\u2019t think I needed to apply,\u201d Anderson recalled. \u201cI think back to that comment often when meeting with students. I know that my words have a great impact on them, and so I choose them carefully.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy hope,\u201d she said, \u201cis to inspire others to follow their interests, to help them articulate what they are passionate about and to [have students] leave my office connected with at least two people who can support them.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a letter of endorsement for the Husky 100 honor, Taranath wrote of Anderson, \u201cWhile I have certainly been impressed by Cynthia\u2019s professionalism and vast knowledge of university structures and procedures \u2014 I have been absolutely gob smacked by her commitment to the students in CHID and their experiences as humans in the world.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFor more than a decade, Cynthia has led CHID by her care, compassion and collegiality with students, staff and faculty across the department. She has been a tremendous gift.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" aria-hidden=\"true\" viewbox=\"0 0 31.93 23.66\" width=\"34\">\n  <path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M19.94 23.655h11.988V12.578h-6.6a6.63 6.63 0 0 1 .662-3.486 8.55 8.55 0 0 1 5.721-4.722V.001a14.8 14.8 0 0 0-8.687 4.768q-3.089 3.606-3.089 9.994v8.893Zm-19.938 0H11.99V12.578h-6.6a7.5 7.5 0 0 1 .631-3.575q1.47-3.277 5.763-4.633V.001a14.54 14.54 0 0 0-8.771 4.788c-2 2.427-3.008 5.781-3.008 9.974Z\"><\/path>\n<\/svg><p>I remember being told by a high school guidance counselor that since there was no one in my family who had attended a four-year college, she didn&rsquo;t think I needed to apply.

In 2021, she came to UW Bothell to pursue a master\u2019s degree in Cultural Studies. She took a full load of courses while also holding down a full-time job and raising two children with her husband.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her master\u2019s thesis was based on a personal experience: As a brown woman who experienced trauma when giving birth, Anderson felt the call to push for justice and equity in health care.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCurrent systems of care do not adequately understand how to offer trauma-informed and culturally congruent care before, during and after the birthing process,\u201d she said. \u201cThis is seen in the disproportionately high death rates of mothers and babies of color during labor and delivery.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Data-driven research and solutions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Anderson points to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which indicate that these numbers are due to four main factors: variations in health care quality, underlying chronic conditions, structural racism and implicit bias. Her graduate-level research focused on the need to build more equitable and inclusive spaces, including offering culturally appropriate midwife and doula care. The National Health Law Program, she noted, promotes these as cost-effective tools to improve maternal health outcomes and reduce racial disparities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere is so much work to be done to change the experiences Black and brown people have when we access care in medical spaces,\u201d she said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Committed to making a difference in the health care system, Anderson plans to continue asking critical questions around equity for birthing people of color, to engage in advocacy with and for doulas and midwives \u2014 specifically around hiring and retaining of people of color in these roles \u2014 and to work with hospital boards and medical facilities to push for culturally congruent care in labor, birth and delivery.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI am grateful for the experiences that the UW has offered me to grow and forge new roots, Anderson said, looking back on the past 20 years. \u201cI have learned to stay curious and to understand that my\u202feducation\u202fhas not just been about learning how to ask the right questions \u2014 it\u2019s also about being humble enough to listen and learn from others.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cynthia Anderson has received two degrees and supported students like herself as a staff member.
