Evergreen's distinctive system may seem strange if you are familiar with colleges
and universities that are divided into departments and that offer structured courses
of study and classes that explore discrete bodies of knowledge. But there are three

FIRST, the difference in how we go about teaching and learning can sometimes
mask the ways that Evergreen is similar to other colleges. You will read books,
write papers, take tests and strive to complete a variety of assignments in the
process of learning about the world and preparing for a lifetime of meaningful
work.
SECOND, we have been perfecting this mode of education for more than 25 years;
we know it works and we also know that schools across the country increasingly
look to Evergreen as a model for educational reform and innovation.
THIRD, although our academic system may seem confusing and complicated at

first, it is based on a set of fundamental ideas, CORE BELIEFS that flow through
everything the college does, both inside and outside of the classroom.
This catalog will help you understand more about Evergreen's approach to education, while providing details about specific programs offered during the 1999-2000
academic year.
TAKE SOME TIME with these first few pages ...

before you thumb ahead to see

academic area attracts your interest. By first grasping Evergreen's general approach
to education, you'll better understand how the college's specific programs will
work for you.

Everything we do is designed to foster COLLABORATIVE LEARNING - among
students, among faculty and between students and faculty. Our faculty is dedicated to
teaching, to helping students learn to think critically, solve real-life problems and
make the connections that lead to greater understanding. Evergreen students are
expected to be active participants in this process, to help shape their own education and to contribute to the learning that goes on around them. Staff members,
too, are part of this collaboration. They support faculty, provide a wide range of
critical services to students, pursue their own studies and pass along their specialized knowledge as internship supervisors, instructors and adjunct faculty.

Z

This distinctive approach means that the day-to-day experiences of Evergreen
students differ in significant ways from the experiences of students at most colleges
and universities. For example, education at Evergreen is not sectioned into traditional academic disciplines like math, English and biology. We do not believe in
isolating bits of learning and presenting them as if they had no connection to other
types of learning. Evergreen offers a wide variety of educational options from
which students may choose, but the foundation of our curriculum is constructed
from the team-taught, multidisciplinary courses we call PROGRAMS.
Instead of asking students to pick from a smorgasbord of classes on isolated
topics, Evergreen faculty members typically work in teams of two, three or four to
create these programs, each of which draws on many disciplines to explore a
central idea or question. This focus on INTERDISCIPLINARY LEARNING means
program participants might look at problems in health care from the points of
view of biology, history, philosophy, sociology, drama, economics and literature.
Or they might study the physical world through the interplay of physics, chemistry, philosophy and mathematics.
We believe that if teaching and learning are to be effective, they must draw from
many perspectives and include a multiplicity of ideas. This is true for teaching
across disciplines; it is also true for TEACHING ACROSS DIFFERENCES. Evergreen
believes in preserving and articulating differences of ethnicity, race, gender and
sexual orientation, rather than erasing them or shoving them to the sidelines, and
this belief is reflected in the design and content of our programs.

••••j~I~.r-ly Asked Questions
What degrees does Evergreen offer?

The Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Master in Teaching, Master of Public Administration and Master
of Environmental Studies degrees. The Bachelor of Arts is awarded in Liberal Arts rather than any specific
discipline. Evergreen students don't major in a single subject area, but they can design academic pathways
that allow them to concentrate on areas such as: biology, communications, computer science, energy
systems, environmental studies, health and human services, humanities, language studies, management and
business, marine studies, mathematics, Native American studies, performing arts, physical science, politics
and economics, pre-law, pre-medicine, visual arts and more.
I'm undecided about what I want to study. Do I need to know exactly what I want to do?

No. Although it sometimes helps to know exactly what you want to do, it can be a hindrance if you want to
explore. Coordinated studies programs are excellent for pursuing what you want to do or for discovering
new, unexpected directions and interests.
How do I know which program to take each quarter? Where do I go for help in planning?

~
~

Advisors in the Academic Advising Office, the faculty members in your current program or faculty in other
areas that interest you - all are excellent sources of information. Conversations with these individuals and
careful reading of the Catalog can help you make curriculum decisions. The section entitled Matching
Evergreen's Programs to Your Field of Interest, beginning on page 40, is a great place to start. The Academic Fair is another great source of information (see pages 35, 118).
Are all 1999-2000

programs listed in this Catalog, or are others added later?

One of the greatest strengths of Evergreen's academic programs is that they are replanned each year ensuring a fresh approach and up-to-date information on issues relevant to today's world. Most programs
listed in this Catalog were planned more than a year before the 1999-2000 academic year. It's inevitable
that programs will be revised, revamped or deleted, and faculty create new programs each year to respond
to student interests and needs. Information about these changes is available from Academic Advising.
What if I want to attend part time, or enroll in a program part time and pursue other interests?

Most daytime academic programs are planned for full-time enrollment, but there are other options for parttime attendance, including half-time, interdisciplinary, team-taught programs offered evenings and weekends. They are publicized in a campus quarterly called the Evergreen Times, available from Academic
Advising, Admissions and Registration and Records.
What if I can't enroll in the program I want?

We make every effort to ensure that students will have their first choice of program offerings, but this is not
always possible. If you don't get your first choice, don't be discouraged. Part of your education at Evergreen
involves learning to take risks. Be willing to try something you hadn't considered before and remember academic advisors and faculty members can help you find out what's available to support your goals.
Can I take more than one program at a time or take courses in addition to a full-time

program?

Since focused study in one program is part of what makes the college distinctive, taking more than one
program or a series of courses at one time is not encouraged. Each program description, however, specifies
whether additional courses may be substituted for portions of that program if they are more relevant to
your academic goals. You can also negotiate this with program faculty, but you must limit the number of
credits you take to 16 per quarter.
Where can I learn more about programs, contracts, internships and other opportunities?

Check with the Academic Advising Office in the Student Advising Center, first floor, Library Building. More
detailed program descriptions, including weekly program schedules, are available there, as well as information about program and faculty changes. Academic Advising also offers workshops to help you plan your
educational career at Evergreen, and it maintains an informative Web site (http://www.evergreen.edul
advising).

SeekingDiversity,
SustainingCommunity

Graduates Making Important
Contributions

Evergreenis committed to increasing diversity among
both students and faculty. We believe strongly that our
students'educational experiences are enhanced and their
livesenriched in a multicultural environment.

The Evergreen environment attracts self-starters and
encourages them to work hard to achieve their goals.
Our graduates carry their sense of involvement and
social responsibility with them in their careers as
educators, entertainers, social workers, environmental
engineers, lawyers, journalists, artists, administrators,
care providers, counselors, entrepreneurs and business
people, as well as in their interests and activities outside
of the workplace.

Whilewe are working to create diversity, we are also
workingto build a strong sense of community. In
academicprograms as well as in workshops, lectures,
groupactivities and special events, Evergreen faculty
and staff work with students to create a welcoming
environment ... one that embraces differences ... fosters
toleranceand understanding ... and celebrates a shared
commitment to cultural, ethnic and racial awareness.
The work is far from complete. While Evergreen's
commitment is real, the college is a microcosm of the
larger,imperfect world. Evergreen, like all the rest of the
world, has much to learn.
Weinvite you to join us in working toward honest
and earnest exploration of real issues and problems and
in safeguarding the Evergreen community for learners
who seek to explore, to grow, to interact and to find
meaningfulconnections in today's world.

The demands on Evergreen students are perhaps both
greater than and different from those on students in
traditional college settings, and it naturally follows that
the results are greater, too. A recent survey found that
both employers and graduate school faculty ranked
Evergreen graduates as high and often higher in six main
areas of preparedness (writing, speaking, critical thinking, blending theory with practice, appreciating cultural
differences and integrating information) than counterparts from other schools.

A Week in the Life of an Evergreen Student

LL.

::::i

Becausemost Evergreen programs are full time and centered around an interdisciplinary theme, you won't register
for separate classes as an Evergreen student. But that doesn't mean you won't have a busy and varied schedule. Each
weekyou will take part in an assortment of activities designed to build familiarity with each of the disciplines you
willneed to explore fully your program's central theme or question. In addition to lectures and seminars, you might
havea choice of lab times if you are in a science program, or you might gather after class to work on a collaborative
projectwith a small group of your fellow students. From time to time, your program might undertake special
activitieslike a week long field trip. Unscheduled time is your time to study, play, socialize and work if you have
a job.

A typical weekly schedule for a full-time program might look like this:

Evergreen's learning environment is profoundly engaging and challenging. Ideally, the education you receive here will bridge the
gaps between academic disciplines and enable you to view concepts, problems and solutions in a unified, interdisciplinary
manner. It's an experience designed purposely to empower you for your entire life, not just to prepare you for a job. You will find
the experience most valuable if you look carefully at the many decisions you'll be making about your education, if you take
responsibility for your own learning and keep your eyes wide open for the rich and varied opportunities Evergreen offers.
Evergreen's commitment to you means more than just making all this available. We're committed to helping you make the most
of your academic career, your social development and your physical well-being. Sound advice, genuine support, good information
and easily accessible resources are invaluable tools for students making their way through this community of learners. We
encourage you to take advantage of these services. For information on other services and resources, see page 118.

When you make the decision to come to Evergreen, you are also making the decision to become closely associated with its
values. A central focus of those values is freedom - freedom to explore ideas and to discuss those ideas in both speechand
print; freedom from reprisal for voicing concerns and beliefs, no matter how unpopular. It's this freedom that is so necessary in a vibrant, dynamic learning community.
As members of the Evergreen community, we acknowledge our mutual responsibility for maintaining conditions under
which learning can flourish - conditions characterized by openness, honesty, civility and fairness. These conditions carry
with them certain rights and responsibilities that apply to us both as groups and as individuals. Our rights - and our
responsibilities - are expressed in Evergreen's Social Contract, a document that has defined and guided the college's
values since its very beginning.
The Social Contract is an agreement; a guide for civility and tolerance toward others; a reminder that respecting others
and remaining open to others and their ideas provides a powerful framework for teaching and learning.

The Social Contract -

A Guide for Civility and Individual Freedom

Evergreen is an institution and a community that continues to
organize itself so that it can clear away obstacles to learning.
In order that both creative and routine work can be focused on
education, and so that the mutual and reciprocal roles of
campus community members can best reflect the goals and
purposes of the college, a system of governance and decision
making consonant with those goals and purposes is required.

Q

PURPOSE: Evergreen can thrive only if members respect the
rights of others while enjoying their own rights. Students,
faculty, administrators, and staff members may differ widely in
their specific interests, in the degree and kinds of experiences
they bring to Evergreen, and in the functions which they have
agreed to perform. All must share alike in prizing academic
and interpersonal honesty, in responsibly obtaining and in
providing full and accurate information, and in resolving their
differences through due process and with a strong will to
collaboration.

The Evergreen community should support experimentation
with new and better ways to achieve Evergreen's goals.
Specifically, it must attempt to emphasize the sense of community and require members of the campus community to play
multiple, reciprocal, and reinforcing roles in both the teaching!
learning process and in the governance process.
FREEDOM AND CIVILITY: The individual members of the
Evergreen community are responsible for protecting each other
and visitors on campus from physical harm, from personal
threats, and from uncivil abuse. Civility is not just a word; it
must be present in all our interactions. Similarly, the institution is obligated, both by principle and by the general law, to
protect its property from damage and unauthorized use and its
operating processes from interruption. Members of the
community must exercise the rights accorded them to voice
their opinions with respect to basic matters of policy and other
issues. The Evergreen community will support the right of its
members, individually or in groups, to express ideas, judgments, and opinions in speech or writing. The members of the
community, however, are obligated to make statements in their
own names and not as expressions on behalf of the college.
The board of trustees or the president speaks on behalf of the
college and may at times share or delegate the responsibility to

others within the college. Among the basic rights of individuals
are freedom of speech, freedom of peaceful assemblyand
association, freedom of belief, and freedom from intimidation,
violence and abuse.
INDIVIDUAL AND INSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS: Each memberof
the community must protect: the fundamental rights of others
in the community as citizens; the right of each member in the
community to pursue different learning objectives within the
limits defined by Evergreen's curriculum or resources of
people, materials, equipment and money; the rights and
obligations of Evergreen as an institution established by the
state of Washington; and individual rights to fair and equitable
procedures when the institution acts to protect the safetyof its
members.
SOCIETY AND THE COLLEGE: Members of the Evergreen
community recognize that the college is part of the larger
society as represented by the state of Washington, which funds
it, and by the community of greater Olympia, in which it is
located. Because the Evergreen community is part of the larger
society, the campus is not a sanctuary from the general law or
invulnerable to general public opinion.

All members of the Evergreen community should strive to
prevent the financial, political, or other exploitation of the
campus by any individual or group.
Evergreen has the right to prohibit individuals and groups
from using its name, its financial or other resources, and its
facilities for commercial or political activities.
PROHIBITION AGAINST DISCRIMINATION: There may be no
discrimination at Evergreen with respect to race, sex, age,
handicap, sexual orientation, religious or political belief,or
national origin in considering individuals' admission, employment, or promotion. To this end the college has adopted an
affirmative action policy approved by the state Human Rights
Commission and the Higher Education Personnel Board.*
Affirmative action complaints shall be handled in accordance
with state law, as amended (e.g., Chapter 49.74 RCW; RCW
28B.6.100; Chapter 251-23 WAC).
"The college's anti-discrimination policy is now approved only by the
Governor's Affirmative Action Policy Committee (GAAPCOM).

Student Conduct Code/Grievance

and Appeals

Complementing Evergreen's Social Contract is the Student Conduct Code - Grievance
and Appeals Process. This document defines specific examples of Social Contract
violations and delineates appropriate corrective action. The code also defines the role
of the grievance officer and describes the processes for informal conflict resolution,
grievances and appeals procedures.
Copies of the Student Conduct Code are available at the Office of the Vice President
for Student Affairs, LIB 3236.
Copies of Evergreen's policy on sexual harassment are available from the Equal
Opportunity Office, LIB 3103.

tJ
RIGHT TO PRIVACY: All members of the college community
havetheright to organize their personal lives and conduct
accordingto their own values and preferences, with an
appropriaterespect for the rights of others to organize their
livesdifferently.
Allmembersof the Evergreen community are entitled to
privacyin the college'soffices, facilities devoted to educationaIprogramsand housing. The same right of privacy
extendsto personal papers, confidential records and personal
effects,whethermaintained by the individual or by the
institution.
Evergreendoes not stand in loco parentis for its members.
INTELLECTUAL FREEDOM AND HONESTY: Evergreen's
membersliveunder a special set of rights and responsibilities,
foremostamong which is that of enjoying the freedom to
exploreideasand to discuss their explorations in both speech
andprint. Both institutional and individual censorship are at
variancewith this basic freedom. Research or other intellectualefforts,the results of which must be kept secret or may be
usedonlyfor the benefit of a special interest group, violate
theprincipleof free inquiry.
Anessentialcondition for learning is the freedom and right
onthepart of an individual or group to express minority,
unpopular,or controversial points of view. Only if minority
andunpopularpoints of view are listened to and given
opportunityfor expression will Evergreen provide bona fide
opportunitiesfor significant learning.
Honestyis an essential condition of learning, teaching or
working.It includes the presentation of one's own work
inone'sown name, the necessity to claim only those
honorsearned, and the recognition of one's own biases
andprejudices.

All
members of the Evergreen community enjoy the right to hold
and to participate in public meetings, to post notices on the
campus, and to engage in peaceful demonstrations. Reasonable and impartially applied rules may be set with respect to
time, place and use of Evergreen facilities in these activities.
OPEN FORUM AND ACCESS TO INFORMATION:

As an institution, Evergreen has the obligation to provide
open forums for the members of its community to present and
to debate public issues, to consider the problems of the
college, and to serve as a mechanism of widespread involvement in the life of the larger community.
The governance system must rest on open and ready access to
information by all members of the community, as well as on
the effective keeping of necessary records.
In the Evergreen community, individuals should not feel
intimidated or be subject to reprisal for voicing their concerns
or for participating in governance or policy making.
Decision-making processes must provide equal opportunity to
initiate and participate in policy making, and Evergreen
policies apply equally regardless of job description, status or
role in the community. However, college policies and rules
shall not conflict with state law or statutory, regulatory and/
or contractual commitments to college employees.
POLITICAL ACTIVITIES: The college is obligated not to take a
position, as an institution, in electoral politics or on public
issues except for those matters which directly affect its
integrity, the freedom of the members of its community, its
financial support and its educational programs. At the same
time, Evergreen has the obligation to recognize and support
its community members' rights to engage, as citizens of the
larger society, in political affairs, in any way that they may
elect within the provision of the general law.

students of diverse cultures, races, ages, previous educational and work experiences, geographical origins and socioeconomic backgrounds.
The college seeks qualified students who possess a spirit of inquiry and a willingness to participate in their educational
process within a collaborative framework.
The college desires students who also express an interest in campus or community involvement, a respect and tolerance
for individual differences and a willingness to experiment with innovative modes of teaching and learning.

English: Four years of English study
are required, at least three of which must
be in composition and literature. One of
the four years may be satisfied by
courses in public speaking, drama as
literature, debate, journalistic writing,
business English or a course in English

are required in history or in any of the
social sciences (e.g., anthropology,
contemporary world problems, economics, geography, government, political

applied or activity courses will not
satisfy this requirement.
Foreign Language: Two years of study
in a single foreign language or American
Sign Language are required. A course in
a foreign language or American Sign
Language taken in the eighth grade may
satisfy one year of the requirement if the
second year of study is completed in

requirement will be considered satisfied
for students from non-English-speaking
countries who entered the United States
educational system at the eighth gradeor
later.
Mathematics: Three years of mathematics, at the level of algebra, geometry
and advanced (second-year) algebra, are
required. More advanced mathematics
courses, such as trigonometry, mathematical analysis, elementary functions

requirement if second-year algebra is
completed in high school.

Admissions Counselor

Eligibility for Admission
Eligible applicants are ranked by means
of formulas that combine academic
factors, such as grade-point average and/
or test scores, and diversity factors.
Because the number of qualified
applicants generally exceeds the number
of spaces available in the entering class,
we are unable to offer admission to all
qualified applicants.
The most important factor in the
admissions process is academic achievement, demonstrated by the nature and
distribution of academic course work,
grade point average or narrative
evaluation of progress and scores from
ACT or SAT (when required). Applicants who believe their academic records
do not reflect their potential for
academic achievement may submit
additional materials they believe will
strengthen their applications. Such
materials could include personal
statements, letters of recommendation
and essays. Submissions should be
limited to one page and should clearly
address the applicant's academic history
and educational goals. Artwork, videos
and audio recordings will not be
considered.

Transfer of Credit
Evergreen has a generous policy of
accepting credit from other accredited
institutions. The maximum amount of
credit that can be transferred is 135
quarter hours (90 semester hours). The
maximum number of credits that can be
transferred from two-year colleges is 90
quarter hours (60 semester hours).
To transfer credit, supply official
transcripts of all previous work when
you apply for admission. Policy varies
depending on the kind of institution
from which you transfer and the kinds
of course work involved. In general,
courses are acceptable if a minimum 2.0
grade point or grade of C was received.
Courses in physical education, remedial
work, military science and religion are
not transferable. Some vocational and
personal development courses are
transferable; others are not. Contact the
Admissions Office for details and to
obtain the Transfer Guide. Evergreen
abides by the policies outlined in
Washington's Policy on Intercollege
Transfer and Articulation.
An evaluation of your official
transcript is made after you have been
admitted and paid the $50 nonrefundable advance tuition deposit.
Other Sources of Transfer Credit
Evergreen accepts credits earned
through CLEP, AP, PEP and IE work on
a case-by-case basis, as long as the
credits do not duplicate credit earned at
other institutions, including Evergreen.
Other national credit-by-examination
options are reviewed on a case-by-case
basis. The student must contact the
testing company and have official test
scores sent to the Admissions Office.

First Peoples' Recruitment

Applicants who have completed AP
examinations must submit official scores
directly from the testing company to the
Admissions Office for evaluation. A test
score of 3, 4 or 5 is required on advanced placement tests to receive credit.
CLEP general and subject examinations may also generate credit. CLEP
credit is also accepted as part of an
associate's degree in a direct-transfer
agreement with a Washington state
community college. Students must
request that official test results be sent
directly from the testing center to the
Admissions Office prior to the application deadline.
Evergreen recognizes and will award
up to 45 credits for IE work, based on a
minimum of three 'higher-level subject
marks and three subsidiary-level subject
marks with scores of 4 or better.
Students without the final IE diploma
and with scores of 4 or better on the
exams may be eligible to receive partial
credit.
Applicants should contact the
Admissions Office for more information.

Community College Transfer
If you are a transfer student who has

Upside Down Program
If you hold a vocational or technical
associate's degree from an accredited
Washington two-year community
college, you may be eligible for the
Upside Down Program.
Working with a faculty committee,
you earn 90 credits at Evergreen in
interdisciplinary study designed to
assure a level of general education
comparable to other bachelor's degree
recipients. Upon successful completion
of 90 Evergreen credits, 90 transfer
credits will be posted and you will be
recommended for a bachelor's degree.
Noncompletion of the recommended 90
Evergreen credits results in a course-bycourse evaluation of your course work,
which usually produces fewer than 90
transfer credits.
Minimum eligibility criteria include a
cumulative GPA of at least 2.5 and
satisfactory completion of one English
composition course. Students applying
for admission prior to completion of
their technical degree and with fewer
than 40 transferable credits by the
application deadline must also provide
the Admissions Office with official high
school transcripts or GED test scores
and official test scores from the SAT,
ACT or WPC (if WPC was taken prior
to 6/1/89). Students 25 or older should
contact the Admissions Office for
information concerning the necessary
criteria.
Generally, associate's degrees in
forestry, fisheries, business, computer
programming, social services, nursing,
education, communications and health
services are acceptable for the Upside
Down Program. Please contact the
Admissions Office about your eligibility,
which must be approved no later than
the 30th day of your first quarter.

Housing Applicants

Special Students

Admission to the college does not assure
you a room assignment in college
housing. Please contact the Housing
Office for information about on-campus
housing. Housing has a first-come, firstserved application process. You may
complete the housing application
process even before notification of
admission to establish a Housing
priority award date.

and Auditors

Scholarship information is available
from the dean of Enrollment Services
after November 2, 1998. The application deadline for these scholarships is
February 1, 1999.
You are encouraged to prepare
scholarship applications concurrently
with your application for admission.

Students wishing to enroll on a part-time
basis prior to seeking admission to
Evergreen may register as "special
students" for a maximum of eight
credits per quarter. The educational
outreach coordinator for Part-Time
Studies assists special students with
academic advising and registration
information. Please refer to page 36 for
further information about Part-Time
Studies.
Auditing a program or course may be
allowed with written permission from
faculty. Auditors receive neither credit
nor narrative evaluations that could be
applied toward a degree if they later
apply for admission. The Registration
and Records Office can assist students
wishing to audit.

Retention of Records

Summer Quarter

Credentials, including original documents submitted in support of an
application for admission, become the
property of the college and are not
returnable or reproducible. Transcripts
of students who do not register for the
term for which they applied will be held
two years before being discarded. You
must request transcripts of work done
at other schools directly from those
schools, not from copies in Evergreen's
files.

Summer quarter enrollment is handled
through the Office of Registration and
Records and does not require formal
admission.
Full-time students who wish to
continue their studies into fall quarter
can do so only if they have been
admitted to the college through the
application process described in the To
Apply for Admission section on page 26.
However, if you are interested in PartTime Studies, please review the preceding section titled Special Students and
Auditors.

Tuition and Fees
Residency Status
for Tuition and Fees
To be considered a resident for tuition
and fee purposes, a nonresident must
first establish a domicile in the state of
Washington in compliance with state
laws. You must also establish your
intention to remain in Washington for
purposes other than education. Once
established, the domicile must exist for
one year prior to the first day of the
quarter you plan to enroll as a resident
student.
If you are a dependent student
(claimed by a parent for tax purposes),
you are eligible for residency only if one
or both of your parents or your legal
guardian has had a domicile in this state
for at least one year prior to the first
day of the quarter.
--l
C

=l

oz

:t>

Applications to change residency
status must be made no earlier than four
to six weeks prior to the quarter in
which you may become eligible, and no
later than the 30th calendar day of the
quarter in which you may become
eligible. Applications are available at the
Office of Registration and Records.

Billing and Payment
Procedures
The Student Accounts Office assembles
most student financial information, both
charges and credits, and prepares a
periodic statement. This allows registered students to submit a single check
for tuition, fees, housing and other
charges by mail or night depository.
Tuition and fees are billed quarterly
by mail if you are preregistered.
Payments in full must be in the Cashier's
Office by 3:45 p.m. on the deadline for
each quarter. Cash, check, money order,
Visa and MasterCard are all acceptable
forms of payment.

"
m
VI

In accordance with Section 438 of
Public Law 93-380 (Family Education
Rights and Privacy Act of 1974), billing
information will only be discussed with
or mailed to the student. Payment of all
fees is the responsibility of the student.
If the student is dependent on someone
else for financial support while attending Evergreen, it is his or her responsibility to make sure that the other party
is aware of what payments are due and
that the payments are made on time.
You may set up a special billing address
so your bills are sent directly to the
person who pays them. Contact the
Student Accounts Office for more
information.
Failure to pay tuition and fees in full
by the deadline will result in cancellation of registration. Payments must be
received by the deadline; i.e., postmarks
are not considered.
Students allowed to register during
the second week of class must pay a $15
late-registration
fee. Students allowed to
register or re-enroll after the second
week of the quarter must pay a $50
late-registration
fee.

Estimated Expenses
These estimates are for a single undergraduate
student who lives on or off campus and
attends full time during the 1999-2000 nine-month academic year. Tuition and fees are based

New and Continuing Student
Enrollment Process
If you are a new or continuing student,
registration information will be mailed to
you each quarter. When registering for
fall quarter, you should select your
academic program in mid-May.
If you are a new student, you will be
asked to participate in an academic
advising session. The college will inform
you about these activities in your
registration packet.
Entrance into a program is based on
your registration priority. Registration
appointments are determined by class
standing.
Before the start of a quarter, most
registration is conducted using EARSEvergreen's Automated Registration
System. Once the quarter is underway,
students must register in person.
Some programs require a faculty
interview or audition for entry. You will
need to obtain a six-digit signature code
from the faculty member to register using
EARS. Otherwise, you must bring a
registration form with the faculty
member's signature to Registration and
Records. Early registration will increase
your chances of getting into the program
of your choice.
As a full-time Evergreen student, you
typically will be enrolled in only one fulltime learning activity. When you enroll,
you will designate the duration of your
program or contract by specifying the
quarter or quarters. You also will specify
the number of credit hours you'll take
per quarter during that period.
There will be no need to re-enroll each
quarter during this designated period if
you continue in the same program or
contract. Changes in enrollment or the
amount of credit you will receive each
quarter may result in a reassessment of
tuition and fees.
Special registration periods are held
for those desiring to enroll as nondegree-seeking special students or
auditors. These special registration
periods, which usually follow the
registration period for continuing
students, are announced in publications
distributed on and off campus.

Address Changes
Throughout the year, important
information will be mailed to you from
a variety of campus offices, therefore
you are required to keep a current
address - even one of short duration on file with the Office of Registration
and Records throughout your stay at the
college. (See also Billing and Payment
Procedures on page 30.)
To Drop or Change a Program
If you want to change the program or
courses for which you are registered,
you should complete your change of
registration by the 10th day of the
quarter. During or after the third week
of the quarter, you must petition to
change a program or course (as opposed
to changing your credits or dropping).
If you want to reduce the number of
credits for which you are registered or
drop a program or course, you must do
so by the 30th calendar day of the
quarter. Use a Change of Registration
form from the Office of Registration and
Records, and also check to see if faculty
signatures are required for the particular
programs involved. It is essential to
complete these in advance. (See Refunds/
Appeals on page 30.)

Withdrawal
You may withdraw any time up to the
30th calendar day of the quarter, but
you must inform the Office of Registration and Records. (See the tuition and
fee refund schedule on page 30.)
Leave of Absence
If you have been regularly admitted
and registered and have attended at least
one quarter, but need to "step out" for a
while, you are eligible for a leave of
absence of no more than one year. If you
are not enrolled in a program or
contract by the enrollment deadline, you
are considered to be on leave (up to one
year).
Veteran Students
The Evergreen State College's programs of study are approved by the
Washington State Higher Education
Coordinating Board's State Approving
Agency (HECB/SAA) for enrollment of
persons eligible to receive educational
benefits under Title 38 and Title 10
USe.

academic regulations,

Registrar

Academic Credit
General Policies
You accumulate academic credit for
work well done and levels of performance reached and surpassed. Credit,
expressed in quarter hours, will be
entered on the permanent academic
record only if you fulfill academic
obligations. Evergreen will not accept
credit twice for the same course work.
Partial Credit Options
Some programs will make provisions
for partial credit, others will not. That
determination rests with the faculty of
each particular program or contract.
Faculty members will announce their
policy at the outset of the quarter.
Exceptions are made only with their
approval.
Credit Limit
Students may register for a maximum
of 16 credits during any given quarter.
Students concurrently pursuing course
work at another college may register for
a combined maximum of 16 credits.
Credits earned beyond this limit will not
be accepted.
Evaluation
Evergreen's credit system distinguishes
between quantity and quality. The
quantity of your academic work is
recognized by an award of credit based
on satisfactory completion of your
program, contract or course requirements. The quality of your work is
expressed in a written evaluation.
To evaluate your work, you meet
individually with the faculty member
who leads your seminar. At the end of
each quarter, two evaluations are written
about your academic accomplishments,
one by your faculty member and one by
you. For more information, see page 5.

Amending Faculty Evaluations
of Students
Any student who feels a faculty
evaluation is incomplete, inaccurate or
otherwise in error may seek to have the
evaluation amended. Within 30 days of
the date the student receives the final
evaluation, the student must talk with,
or write to, the faculty member who
signed the evaluation. If satisfactory
resolution is not reached, then, in the
case of a team-taught program, the
student is expected to talk with or write
to the program's faculty team. If the
evaluation still has not been amended to
the student's satisfaction, the student has
30 calendar days to request a hearing
from an academic dean. Copies of the
form to request a hearing from a dean,
as well as copies of the policy for
amending student records, are available
at the Academic Deans' Office, Library
2211. Changes cannot be made to an
evaluation once it has been sent out as
part of a transcript.

Academic Honesty
Academic honesty is a necessity in a
learning community. It makes coherent
discourse possible and is a condition for
all sharing, dialogue and evaluation. All
forms of academic dishonesty, including
cheating, fabrication, facilitating
academic dishonesty and plagiarism, are
violations of the Social Contract.
Cheating is defined as intentionally
using or attempting to use unauthorized
materials, information or study aids in
any academic exercise. Plagiarism is
defined as representing the works or
ideas of another as one's own in any
academic exercise. It includes but is not
limited to copying materials directly,
failure to cite sources of arguments and
data, and failure to explicitly acknowledge joint work or authorship of
assignments.

Record Keeping
Transcript and Portfolio
The transcript and portfolio are the
records of your academic achievement at
Evergreen. Maintained by the Office of
Registration and Records, your transcript will list all work done for credit,
the official description of the program or
contract, faculty evaluations and, when
required, your own evaluations.
Unless you go on a leave of absence,
withdraw or change programs, credit
and evaluations are reported only at the
end of a program or contract. Once the
evaluation is accepted in the Office of
Registration and Records, a copy is sent
to you. If you need your faculty to
further revise your evaluation, you have
30 calendar days or until you request
your transcript to be sent out, whichever
comes first.
Since your self-evaluation becomes
part of your permanent transcript, pay
close attention to spelling, typographical
errors, appearance and content before
you turn it in. Your self-evaluation
cannot be removed or revised once it has
been received in the Office of Registration and Records.
The entire body of information is
mailed when a transcript is requested,
although graduate students who also
attended Evergreen as undergraduates
may request transcripts of only their
graduate work. Please allow two weeks
for processing between the time you
make your request and pay the $10 fee
and the time when your transcript is
mailed. Evergreen reserves the right to
withhold transcripts from students who
are in debt to the institution. If you need
more information on this issue, contact
the Office of Registration and Records.
You maintain your own portfolio,
which should include official descriptions of all your programs and contracts,
copies of faculty evaluations and your
own self-evaluations, particularly those
not in the transcript. You should also
include examples of your best work and
any other pertinent information.
The portfolio is your academic
biography, to be shared with faculty
during your learning experience and
with graduate schools and prospective
employers in future interviews.
Confidentiality of Records
Evergreen complies with the federal
Family Education Rights and Privacy
Act of 1974, which establishes fair
information practices regarding student
records at U.S. colleges and universities.
Copies of Evergreen's policies may be
obtained from the Office of Registration
and Records or the Office of the Dean of
Enrollment Services.

The academic standing of each Evergreen student is carefully monitored to
ensure the full development of his or her
academic potential. Any student not
making satisfactory academic progress,
as defined below, is informed of her or
his standing in the college and is advised
accordingly.
.
Faculty evaluation of student achievement formally occurs at the conclusion
of programs, contracts, courses and .
internships. In addition, any student I.n.
danger of receiving less than full credit IS
so notified in writing at mid-quarter by
his or her sponsor. A student makin.g
unsatisfactory academic progress will
receive an academic warning and may
be required to take a leave of absence.
1. Academic warning. A student who
earns fewer than three-fourths of the
number of registered credits in two
successive quarters will receive an
academic warning issued by the dean of
Enrollment Services. A student registered for six quarter credit hours or
more who receives no credit in any
quarter will receive an academic
warning. Such warning will urge the
student to seek academic advice or
personal counseling from a member of
the faculty or through appropriate
,
offices in Student Affairs. A student Will
be removed from academic warning
status upon receiving at least threefourths of the credit for which he or she
is registered in two successive quarters.

2. Required leave of absence: A stud,ent
who has received an academic warnmg,
and while in warning status receives
either an incomplete or less than threefourths of the credit for which she or he
is registered, will be required to take a
leave of absence, normally for one full
year. A waiver of required leave can be
granted only by the aca,demic ~ean
responsible for academic standing upon
the student's presentation of evidence of
extenuating circumstances. A student
returning from required leave will reenter on academic warning and be
expected to make satisfactory ~rogress
toward a bachelor's degree. Failure to
earn at least three-fourths credit at the
first evaluation period will result in
dismissal from Evergreen.
Dismissal and Readmission
A student who is dismissed from the
college for academic reasons will not be
allowed to register for any academic
program or course at the college during
any subsequent quarter. A student who
has been so dismissed may only be
readmitted to the college by successfully
petitioning the academic deans. The
petition must convince the deans t~at
there are compelling reasons to believe
that the conditions that previously
prevented the student from making
satisfactory academic progress at
Evergreen have changed.

Graduation Requirements
The minimum requirement for
awarding either the Bachelor of Arts in
Liberal Studies or the Bachelor of
Science is 180 quarter credit hours.
,
Continuation beyond 200 quarter credit
hours without graduating requires
approval by an academic dean.
If you transfer credit from another
college, you must earn at least ~5 of the
last 90 quarter credit hours while
enrolled at Evergreen to be eligible for
an Evergreen degree. Prior Learning
from Experience credits or CLEP tests
do not satisfy the 45-credit requirement.
If you have a bachelor's degree from a
regionally accredited institution (including Evergreen) and wish to earn a
second bachelor's degree, you must earn
at least 45 additional quarter credit
hours as an enrolled Evergreen student.
The B.S. degree requirement also
includes 72 quarter credit hours in
mathematics and natural science, of
which 48 quarter credit hours must be in
advanced subjects.
Concurrent awards of B.A. and B.S.
degrees require at least 225 quarter
hours, including 90 at Everg~een, and
application at least one year ~nadvance.
To graduate, you must submit an
application form to the Office of
Registration and Records and pay a $25
fee. Contact Registration and Records at
least one quarter in advance of your , ,
anticipated graduation date. F~r specific
information regarding graduation
requirements for MPA, MES and MI~
programs, please refer to the appropriate
graduate catalog.

Selecting Your Program of Study
At Evergreen, you will have the privilege and responsibility of planning a personalized education. You will be able to shape
your learning to your interests, your passions and your career goals. Making the most out of this tremendous opportunity
can be challenging, but fortunately there are many services available to help you - whether you are creating a four-year
academic plan or selecting a program for a single quarter.
Here are some tips for making sound educational choices:

Develop an academic plan
Every student is encouraged to develop an individualized academic plan - a personal declaration of educational goals, intentions
and achievements. It is not a form you must fill out or a list of requirements you must have approved by some authority. It
originates from and serves you.
If you have specific ideas about your educational path, you may impose some requirements on yourself or you may determine
that you must complete specific prerequisites to prepare for more advanced work. Your plan may be specific in some areas and
very general in others. It is also likely to change over time.
To create your plan, you will need to think about your previous experience, your strengths and weaknesses, your interests and
your goals. You may also have to do some research, like studying the academic pathways recommended for students interested in
specific areas of study or investigating specific career options. It may be useful to think about and plan your educational journey
as a sequence of steps:
EXPLORATION - Discovery for the sake of academic curiosity.
LEARNING GOALS - Understanding your academic purpose and intentions.
BREADTH - Exploring different subject areas, methods of learning and ways of knowing.
DEPTH - Focusing on a line of inquiry to develop a deeper level of knowledge and insight.
INTEGRATION - Making sense of your studies as a package.
TRANSLATION - Describing the sum of your education to others.
TRANSITION - Applying your learning to your life and career.

Discuss your choices and goals
Don't be afraid to ask for help. Evergreen's extensive, flexible and visible network of advising resources is designed to help
students make informed decisions. You will not be assigned an advisor, and advising is not mandatory, but advisors can help
provide perspective and tools to aid you in your planning. You can:
TALK TO FACULTY: Faculty are an integral part of the advising system. They typically work closely with students in
their programs or doing individual study. Many continue as advisors after the program or contract ends. Advising is a regular
component of the quarterly evaluation conferences between faculty and students, and faculty members also serve as advisors
through the Office of Academic Advising.
CONTACT ACADEMIC ADVISING: Academic Advising provides a wide range of advising services. Full-time advisors
and specialists in international programs and services are available to meet by appointment or on a drop-in basis. The staff also
leads workshops and visits programs to provide advice. The Midnight Advisor is an academic advisor with an office in Housing
who keeps late afternoon and early evening hours to answer advising questions and help students improve their academic skills.
Academic Advising publishes the Catalog Update and posts information about curriculum changes and program schedules on
bulletin boards and on the Web at www.evergreen.edu/advising.
VISIT OTHER OFFICES: Several college offices may be able to provide you with information and advice that are critical
to the success of your planning efforts. See the Student and Academic Support Services section on page 20 for more information.
DO IT YOURSELF: There's nothing wrong with self-advising. Self-directed students may happily devise their own plans.
For these students, updated curriculum information is readily available from Academic Advising in several formats. Academic
Advising has also developed an outline you can use on your own to create your academic plan.

Study this Catalog
First-year students should carefully consider the Core and all-level programs described on pages 45-54. Other programs are listed
by Planning Groups. InterArea programs co-taught by faculty from different Planning Groups will be crosslisted. Please review
the How to Read a Program Listing section on page 44. If a specific subject interests you, look it up in the Matching Evergreen's
Programs to Your Field of Interest section, which begins on page 40.
Attend the quarterly Academic Fair
The faculty will be assembled all in one place so you can talk to them directly about program content, style and requirements.
Ask them anything. If one program's not right for you, they might suggest an alternative. Academic Fairs are held quarterly;
contact Academic Advising for dates.
Select a program
If you have created a clear academic plan, consulted advisors, read this catalog closely and attended the Academic Fair, you
should have no difficulty choosing a program that's right for you. Once you have selected a program (and a couple of alternates
just in case), all you have to do is register, pay your tuition on time and get ready for class!

While Evergreen emphasizes collaborative studies within learning communities, students here also have many
opportunities to personalize their
education. Students at all levels and in
all areas of the curriculum will find
academic offerings that incorporate
independent learning into program
activities. As students progress in their
education, some may decide to earn
credits through Individual Learning
Contracts and Internship Learning
Contracts - two options typically
reserved for junior- and senior-level
students.
Individual Learning Contracts:
Independent contracts are studentgenerated projects in which the student
works with a faculty sponsor to
complete advanced academic work. The
faculty provides guidance and feedback
but the idea for the project, the design '
and structure of the course of study and
the student's goals all originate from the
student. Successful execution requires
motivation, imagination and initiative.
Examples of recent Individual Learning
Contract work include producing a CD
of original music, researching and
recreating 17th century costumes and
writing a senior thesis on welfare
policies. Assistance with Individual
Learning Contracts is available from
faculty and Academic Advising.
Internship Learning Contracts:
Internships are a way to gain specialized
knowledge, learn from real-world
experiences and serve the community.
They require a three-way partnership
among the student, the faculty sponsor
and the field supervisor. The contract
documents the role of each member of
the partnership. Evergreen students have
~onducted paid and unpaid internships
III every conceivable setting: city, state,
county and federal government, art
studios, research labs, museums farms
TV stations, service agencies, h~spitals'
and schools. Academic Advising is the
central source of current information
about internships. It provides listings
and referrals for internship opportunities
locally, nationally and internationally.
Academic Advising staff members assist
students, sponsors and internship host
supervisors in planning, arranging and
conducting internships.

Independent Study Incorporated into
Academic Programs: Academic programs often provide opportunities for
personalizing your studies. Students
might, for example, extensively research
a topic touched on briefly in readings
and seminars, or they might tackle a
project that explores connections
between a program's theme and an area
of personal interest. Other programs
might encourage students to arrange an
internship as an individualized component of a program. Internships provide
students with opportunities to apply
classroom-based knowledge in a handson learning environment while serving
the community and gaining experience
in the workplace.
More information about these study
options can be found in the Student
Advising Handbook, on the Web
(www.evergreen.eduladvising) and by
attending Academic Advising workshops.

Part-Time Studies
Team-teaching, i.nterdiscipl~nary study,
seminars, narrative evaluations and
other hallmarks of an Evergreen
education are also available to working
adults through the college's half-time
programs. Students in these programs
earn eight credits per quarter toward a
bachelor's degree while attending class in
the evenings and on weekends - even if
they have not been formally admitted to
Evergreen.
Offered by Part-Time Studies, these
interdisciplinary programs ask students
to examine a central theme, problem or
question from several perspectives. Most
programs run for three quarters,
investigating different aspects of the
central theme throughout the academic
year. Faculty design each quarter so that
students may enter in winter and spring
quarters if space is available.
Along with its half-time, eight-credit
programs, Part-Time Studies offers a
variety of courses - two-, four- and sixcredit classes with a single disciplinary
focus. Many of these courses, like the
half-time programs, begin at 6 p.m. or
later and there are several offerings on
Saturdays. Courses offered at other
times are typically introductory courses
designed to supplement the curriculum
for full-time students. Full-time students
are generally discouraged from substituting several courses for a full-time
interdisciplinary program.

Working adults can expect to find both
intermediate and advanced programs and
courses in six curricular pathways Business and Management; Environmental Studies; Human Services and Psychology; Labor; Government and Politics' and
Literature and History. Programs in ~ach
area give students experience in writing,
presenting material orally, collaborating,
understanding a diversity of viewpoints
and applying theory to practice.
Students who are new to college study,
or are returning after a number of years
away, should consider taking the Cornerstone Seminar. This course, offered each
quarter, gives students a foundation in
human development theory and an
opportunity to plan their academic career
to meet their goals. Part-Time Studies
also offers writing courses and at least
one interdisciplinary eight-credit program
designed for returning students.
Students who wish to enroll on a parttime basis before being admitted to the
college may register as special students
for a maximum of eight credits per
quarter. Special students receive credit
by going through the regular evaluation
process, and once they have been
admitted, the credits they have accumulated will apply toward their bachelor's
degree. A student must be admitted to
the college to be awarded a degree.
It is important that special students
realize that they will not be able to
register at the same time as students who
have completed the admissions process,
and that enrollment is on a first-come
first-served, space-available basis. Spe~ial
students may register at an Academic Fair
(contact Academic Advising for dates)
and on the dates specified in the Evergreen Times, the catalog of Part-Time
Studies offerings. Students who are
interested in pursuing a degree and want
to increase their chances of getting into
specific programs and courses should
apply for admission consideration at the
earliest possible date (see page 24 for
admission information).
Descriptions of Part-Time Studies
offerings are contained in the Evergreen
Times, a quarterly publication mailed
to residents in a five-county area. The
Summer Times also contains courses
available to working adults during
summer session. Both are published
on the Evergreen Web at www.
evergreen.edu.
For more information about Part-Time
Studies contact the educational outreach
coordinator for Part-Time Studies by
calling (360) 866-6000, ext. 6164.

Prior Learning
from Experience (PLE)
Evergreen recognizes that adult students
returning to college have acquired
knowledge from their life and work
experiences. If students want to document this knowledge and receive
academic credit, Prior Learning from
Experience provides one appropriate
pathway.
Documenting your knowledge means
describing what you have learned within
a theoretical framework, not simply
detailing a job description.
You should enroll in Writing from
Life,taught by PLE Coordinator Kate
Crowe, to prepare you for writing your
document. Because a substantial written
document is required, you should enroll
in additional courses and programs to
improve your research and writing skills.
Preparation of the document generally
takes students up to one academic year.
Once submitted, your document will be
evaluated by a faculty team and credit
equivalencies will be noted. You must
pay for this credit just as if you had
enrolled in a course.
Interested students are encouraged
to contact the PLE office after they have
been admitted to the college.
For more information, call PLE
coordinator Kate Crowe at (360) 8666000, ext. 6415 or see the Evergreen
Web site at www.evergreen.edu/ple.

Longhouse Education
and Cultural Center
Evergreen's Longhouse Education and
Cultural Center is a.center for
multicultural study and a valuable
resource to programs throughout the
curriculum. The Longhouse - the only
building of its kind on a public college
campus in the United States - provides
classroom space, supports Native
American Studies (see page 103), and
attracts conferences and events that
educate, entertain and enrich the college
and surrounding communities. Its design
is based on historic longhouse structures
and the traditions of Northwest Native
American communities.

The Evans Chair
Funded by a state grant and donations
from many people, the Daniel J. Evans
Chair in Liberal Arts was established to
support Core programs. Each year a
distinguished scholar is selected to work
with Core programs.

International Studies
and Opportunities
to Study Abroad
At Evergreen, we envision international
studies as involving interdisciplinary
academic work on a theme, question or
problem. This work may include study
abroad in a full-time academic program,
consortium program, individual
contract study or internship.
Programs with a study abroad
component are often found in the
Culture, Text and Language Planning
Group and usually offer one or more
options each year in which students and
faculty travel abroad spring or summer
quarter. Programs that include language
study typically travel to Spain, Latin
America, France or Russia. Field School
to Chile is a regular offering in which
students conduct political and cultural
research.
Every other year, the Environmental
Studies Planning Group offers the
Tropical Rainforests program with field
work in Costa Rica (see page 87). Other
programs with an emphasis on
sustainability, community development,
agriculture, natural history and conservation provide opportunities for projects
and internships in developing countries.
Most notable is our sister county study
abroad program, a community partnership with the village of Santo Tomas,
Nicaragua, the Thurston-Santo Tomas
Sister County Association and the
college.

Students who have intermediate
proficiency in Japanese and wish to
spend a year in Japan can apply to
become one of four exchange students
chosen each year to study at either
Miyazaki University or Kobe University
of Commerce. These opportunities
usually come with substantial financial
assistance.
Evergreen participates in the following
consortium programs for international
study:
• Augsburg College, The Center for
Global Education; interdisciplinary
programs in Mexico, Central America
and Southern Africa.
• Butler University, The Institute for
Study Abroad; university programs in
English speaking countries and in Costa
Rica.
• Interweave; Russian culture and
environmental science programs.
• The School for International
Training; more than 50 worldwide
programs with a focus on cultural
diversity and experience-based learning.
• The State of Washington Cooperative Development Studies Program in
Ecuador.
• The University of Washington
Jackson School of International Studies,
Seattle, Wash.
Advanced-level students may also
choose to study abroad through
individual or internship contracts. Such
work requires previous experience in
both the method of study and the
subject matter to be studied, and
students must negotiate an agreement
with an appropriate faculty or staff
sponsor.
For more information, contact Chris
Ciancetta, International Programs and
Services coordinator, in the Academic
Advising Office, located in Library
1401.

Condensed Curriculum 1999-2000
These pages feature the titles of programs planned during the spring of 1998 for the 1999-2000 academic year. This listing allows you to
scan all of the college's academic offerings while determining your pathway through the curriculum. All of Evergreen's programs are
organized within Planning Units, groups of faculty with similar interests who offer topical groupings of academic offerings. Within the
offerings of each Planning Unit, you will find all-level programs, intermediate programs with a prerequisite of one year of college and no
other specific requirements, and advanced programs geared toward junior- and senior-level students and offering upper-division credits. As
you plan your educational pathway, you may decide to work for a number of quarters within one Planning Unit, or you may move from
area to area to broaden your education. Either pattern may be appropriate, depending on your academic goals. Some programs will be
listed in more than one planning group.

How to Read a Program Description
Because Evergreen's curriculum is so distinct, the college describes its academic offerings in unusual detail. Until you are familiar with them, the
complex descriptions in this Catalog can be intimidating, but Evergreen believes this is the best way to make sure students understand their
options. Below is a sample of a typical program description. The annotations will help you interpret all the information packed into the listings
that follow.

Programs for First-Year Students
Lee Lyttle, Dean of First-Year Programs
First-year students have several options: Core programs, all-level programs and some
intermediate programs.
Core programs are designed to give first- or second-year college students a solid
foundation of knowledge and skills in preparation for advanced studies. Core
programs will introduce you to the central mode of study at Evergreen - coordinated studies - in which faculty members from different academic disciplines use
their knowledge to help you explore a central theme or problem. This interdisciplinary approach means you will study an issue or a topic as a whole, rather than as a
collection of unrelated fragments. Core programs reveal a breadth of the issues that
will concern you - the connection of artistic expression to social condition, for
example, or the relationship of biological facts to individual psychology.
Core programs emphasize the development of college-level skills necessary for you
to do advanced college work. For most students this means learning how to write at a
college level in various modes, read carefully, analyze arguments, skillfully reason
quantitatively or mathematically, work cooperatively in small project or discussion
groups and use resources in the library and elsewhere on campus. Core programs also
provide an opportunity to connect your studies with your own intellectual and
personal concerns. You will learn the skills you will need to design your education,
both at Evergreen and after. Core programs take the time necessary to develop
college-level academic skills, and Evergreen's small student-faculty ratio in Core
programs (23:1) ensures close interaction between you, your faculty and other
students.
Each Core program listed in this section is an integrated study program combining
several activities: seminars, individual conferences with faculty members, lectures,
field trips, laboratories - depending on the content and goals of the program. In a
Core program you learn about several traditional academic disciplines in relation to
the program's central theme or topic, while learning at the same time about your own
goals, about defining and dealing with problems and about the college's people and
facilities.
All-level programs will enroll up to 25 percent first-year students. Like Core
programs, they are broadly interdisciplinary coordinated studies. They combine
seminars, individual conferences with faculty members, lectures, field trips, laboratories - depending on the content and goals of the program. As their name suggests,
all-level programs will also enroll sophomores, juniors and seniors.
There are several things you should consider if an all-level program appeals to you.
The strength of your academic work in high school is one indication of readiness for
an all-level program. Already having a good background in one of the main areas of
inquiry is another. You should have strong writing skills and a strong, sustained
interest in the topic is crucial. You should weigh the advantages of in-depth study of
an all-level theme that interests you against the advantages of a Core program's
emphasis on foundation for college work. In an all-level program you should
anticipate that faculty will provide less guidance about basic skills and that their
expectations about what you already know how to do and what you can learn on
your own will be higher. If you are interested in working with a wide mix of students
(age, experience, stages in learning), this would be a good option for you.
Some programs designed for sophomore-level students will admit a particularly
well-qualified first-year student. Consult the faculty if you are interested in an
intermediate program.

All Over the Place: Stories in
a Multicentered Society

We will begin genealogies, explore
symbolic and "real" landlcityscapes, and
examine the role of the storyteller/writer/
visual artist as social/cultural witness
through workshops, seminars, readings,
performances, research, writing and
student-originated projects. We all need to
get good at looking at, listening to and
telling stories, our own and others. Stories
are our homes. "Finding a fitting place for
oneself in the world is finding a place for
oneself in a story," as J 0 Carson explains.

and there, past and present. What's up? The
answer is story.
Stories once detailed shared experiences.
Now it may be that only stories themselves
offer us common ground. Once you start
hearing certain stories and retelling them, you
gain membership in a group and community.
You become related, since the story is, as Terry
Tempest Williams says, "...the umbilical cord
between past, present, and future."
When most governments and educational
institutions are no longer trusted, authority
shifts to the storytellers. Often the most
valuable local cultural resources are the
grandmothers or young people with tape
recorders or the man by the creek on the
outskirts of town who can spin tales about the
old days. The sense of place often outlasts the
place itself.
This group contract is concerned with
stories as they are written or told in the
landscape or place by the people who live or
lived there. The intersections of culture,
history, geography and nature form the ground
on which we stand - our land, our home, our
group, the local.
We will study writings on place by a diverse
group. These writings will include: The Poetics
of Space, Gaston Bachelard; The Power of
Place: Urban Landscapes as Public History,
Dolores Hayden; The Geography of Childhood: Why Children Need Wild Places, Gary
Paul Nabhanard and Stephen Trimble;
Through Navaho Eyes, Sol Worth and John
Adair; On The Road, Jack Kerouac; Space and

Tuan; Pilgrim At Tinker Creek, Annie Dillard.
We will also look at an eclectic group of visual
artists and film makers such as: Norval
Morriseau, Ken Burns, Spike Lee, Olivia Gude,
May Sun and Wym Winders.

Enrollment: 92
Prerequisites: None
Faculty Signature: No
Special Expenses: $100 per quarter for arts
and media production, and $100 for
overnight field trips.
Part-Time Options: No
Internship possibilities: No
Travel Component: Two overnight field trips
to Neah Bay (one during fall quarter and the
other during spring quarter). Fall quarter field
trip payment of $50 is due the end of the first
week and spring quarter field trip payment
$50 is due week seven (May 8-12, 2000) of
spring quarter.
Not all cultures think that we are approaching
a millennium. This program examines
alternative concepts of time and history as
culturally bound and tied to specific geographies. Focusing on a variety of cultures with
nonlinear, cyclical calendars, such as Native
North American, Mayan and Aztec, we will
examine the complex, interlocking cycles of
seasons, nature, ancestry and history. We will
also look at the way time is constructed in
indigenous religions of Asia, like Taoism and
Shintoism. Chinese and Egyptian cultures,
with their long and ancient histories, further
provide alternative frameworks to study early
people's construction of time and history
through numerology, astronomy and
storytelling. We will look at how the rise of
world religions, such as Buddhism, Judaism,
Christianity and Islam, have affected our
visions of time.
Over the centuries, trade, migration and
colonization have brought people from diverse
cultures into contact with one another. This
has created further schisms between time and
place. We will explore how migration of
populations away from their native geographies have altered concepts of time and
created new, hybrid forms of history and
culture. Drawing on Marxist theory and the
concept of "the end of history," we will
examine the materialist possibilities of the
future, as well as the ways in which the rise of
capitalism and industrialization have shaped
our notions of work-time, value and pleasure.
To dismantle our modern consciousness of
time and explore notions of visionary time, we
will participate in a variety of projects that
foster patience and put us more in tune with
the world around us.
Through close study of a variety of cultural
forms, including storytelling, literature, art,
calligraphy, photography and film, we will
examine conceptions and representations of
time and history that challenge our contemporary pace and rhythms. Through art criticism,
cinema studies and literary analysis, we will
look at a variety of works, many of which are
not linear in the way they construct time, and
we will analyze the way in which the authors,
artists and filmmakers explore relationships
and create meaning.

All students taking this program will study
expository writing. In addition, students will
take four five-week workshops over the course
of fall and winter to build skills in a variety of
media. These workshops include 1) photography and video production, 2) creative prose
writing, 3) Chinese characters and calligraphy,
and 4) mixed media art. Students will also
participate in a number of field trips and one
or two overnight stays to explore the cycles of
natural life in our region. Students will further
conduct research on their own ancestral
history, as they explore the relationship
between past, present and future in their own
lives through writing and artistic production.
Credit awarded in Native American studies,
Asian studies, Arab-Islamic studies, art,
comparative literature, film studies, photography, video production and writing.
Total: 16 credits each quarter.
Program is preparatory for careers and future
studies in cultural studies, art, literature and
film.

American Community
Fall, Winter, Spring/Coordinated Study
Faculty: Sam Schrager, David Marr
Enrollment: 48
Prerequisite: None. This all-level program
will accept up to 25 percent first-year
students.
Faculty Signature: No
Special Expenses: Students should expect to

A public philosophy for the twenty-first
century will have to give more weight to
the community than to the right of
private decision. It will have to emphasize responsibilities rather than rights.
It will have to find a better expression
of community than the welfare state. It
will have to limit the scope of the
market and the power of corporations
without replacing them with a centralized state bureaucracy.
Historian Christopher Lasch's words invoke a
vital, complex debate about America's past
and future. At stake are competing visions of
democracy. Do democratic ideals point
toward a classless society where the good life
flows from self-reliance, mutual respect and
active citizenship? Or does democracy
demand upward mobility, with great wealth
and poverty, and elites leading all spheres of
society? Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther
King embraced the first view, Lasch argues.
But the second has proved ascendant. We've
come to believe more in consumerism, in the
state and in fulfillment of personal needs than
in our capacity to live well in families and
communities.
With Lasch's concerns as a starting point,
this program will explore the past course and
present prospects of the democratic experiment. We will examine Americans' changing
consciousness about life in this country,
focusing on the last hundred years, with some
attention also given to the 19th century. At
the center of this inquiry will be intensive
reading of novels, history, documentary
writing, social criticism and poetry - works
that grapple imaginatively with widely felt
tensions of experience. This reading will lead
to sustained research projects: in fall, a
library-based study on a historical issue; in
winter, field-based oral history interviewing in
the local community; in spring, more
advanced ethnographic, historical or literary
research and writing.
Our purpose is to work toward a public
philosophy for citizenship in the new century.
To this end, students and faculty will honestly
face enduring dilemmas of self and community, matters involving equality, morality,
diversity, faith, class, place and progress.

The program faculty will provide a
stimulating intellectual context: guidance on
writing, research methods and approaches to
challenging texts and ideas. In turn, we will
have high expectations. The work will be
demanding. We welcome first-year students
ready to be seriously engaged in their
studies. We will also offer strong support to
upper-division students.
Credit awarded in American history,
American literature, cultural studies,
community studies and sociology. Upperdivision credit is available for those who
earn it.
Total: 16 credits each quarter.
Program is preparatory for careers and
future studies in humanities, social sciences,
community service and law.

The class will focus on selected fundamentals
of marine biology, quantitative analysis, use
of spatial data (particularly map information)
and techniques for field studies. The students
will use these principles and tools in a study
of Willapa Bay, located in Southwest
Washington. Several conflicting uses of the
environment and invasions by exotic species
make Willapa Bay a particularly interesting
study site. Program participants will apply
principles of geology, marine biology and
modeling through simulation to the Willapa
Bay estuary and associated uplands. While we
will have guest speakers discuss policy issues,
this is predominantly a science program.
This very intensive 10-week program of
study will include lectures, seminars, labs
(including extensive computer use), field trips,

Basic botany is an introductory group
contract in plant science. We will work
through a botany textbook learning about
plant anatomy, morphology, systematics
physiology, and ecology. Lectures based on the
textbook readings will be supplemented with
laboratory work getting hands-on experience
with plants. Seminar readings will be on the
general theme of plants and people. These
readings will include, among others, the work
of Gary Nabhan, who deals with indigenous
peoples and their agricultural practices, Londa
Schiebinger, who illustrates how human
gender relations are reflected in the plant
classification systems used in western science,

What do geniuses share in common? What
drives one to channel creativity - in the
sciences, the arts and humanities? In this
program we will look at our own creativity, as
well as the socialization, expectations and
creative perception of several famous
innovators. What is the relationship between
creativity and pathology? To understand the
confusion and elegance behind a genius at
work, we will read autobiography, literature
and philosophy. Our workshops in creativity
will run the gamut from writing, problem
solving and mathematical analysis to drawing,
performing and programming.
Students will be expected to explore the
development of early scientific thought, as
well as the evolution of technology. In the
20th century convergence of the two, we ask,
"can computers be creative?" In our diverse
study, a reading list could include The
Copernican Revolution by Thomas Kuhn and
Howard Gardner's Creating Minds, which
features such genius as Einstein, Freud, T. S.
Elliott, Martha Graham, Stravinsky, Picasso
and Ghandi. Our aim is to experience, study
and reflect on both scientific and artistic
creativity.
Credit awarded in expressive arts and
humanities, psychology, computing and
mathematics.

Education: the Future of Higher Education
Lecture Series.
Internship Possibilities: No
Travel Component: None
This program examines the history and future
of U.S. college and universities. Topics may
include:
• Debates about access and quality. Access to
college and university education expanded
significantly following World War II.
Accompanying that change was the argument
that the quality of education diminished. We
are currently engaged in another period of
expanded opportunity for students, and the
questions about quality have again risen.
• Technology: Current technology challenges
old assumptions about education - that
education happens only on a campus, that a
library is an essential ingredient of education,
that education occurs around books, that
professors are the source of all knowledge.
• The purpose of university education:
Universities have served many purposes over
time - conservation of culture, promotion of
ethnic identity, protection of linguistic
heritage, creation of gentlemen. What is the
purpose of the modern university? To promote
excellence? To train workers for the 21st
century? Who gets to ask these questions?
Who gets to judge the answers?
• Expertise and the state: Might not the
university be just a source of cheap knowledge
for the state? (And do students and society
subsidize this relationship?)
• Community colleges: Washington ranks
high in college attendance but exceptionally
low in four-year college and university
attendance. What is the history and present
role of community colleges?
There are three offerings under the title
Education. Each requires a separate registration.
Credit awarded in education, politics,
philosophy, history and sociology.
Total: 16 credits.
Program is preparatory for careers and future

This Core program will focus on the
processes and impacts of exploring the
surface of Earth. Exploration of Earth,
especially the western hemisphere and polar
regions, has created fundamental changes in
environmental and in human/cultural
conditions not only in the regions explored
but in the natal states of the explorers. We
will investigate the impetus for exploring new
territory, the ideas and technologies that
contributed to the success and failure of
explorations and the impacts associated with
exploration.
Explorations involve many academic
disciplines. Our studies will focus on
geography, chemistry, biology, writing and
other representations. Geography offers both
a technical and intellectual framework for
understanding the process and product of
exploration. Regions of the Old World and
regions of the discovered or New World are
complex entities. This program will offer an
opportunity to investigate how Old World
societies chose to participate in the process of
exploration, what types of mapping
technologies were available and how the
process of social interaction transformed the
New World. We will study the evolution of
modern mapping skills, data recording and
natural, social and cultural interactions
between humans and the environment and
between different social and cultural groups.
Explorers frequently pushed the limits of
their understanding of physiology, diet and
materials. In addition, the goal of exploration
was to find or control new, useful materials
or to examine the natural history of remote
areas. We will use models from chemistry and
biology to understand how human physiology, material goods and the environment
interacted during exploration. These
interactions will be examined in documents
and texts, in the field and in the laboratory.
Understanding these models, as well as the
techniques used in cartography and navigation, will also require skills in numerical
methods. Often, one result of exploration
was biological change, as organisms and
diseases were spread to new areas. Another
aspect of change was the application of new
crops and technologies in both the New and
Old worlds. We will examine the many longlasting effects of these biological and
technical exchanges.

Knowledge gained during exploration
would be of little use were it not for the
abilityto record and represent new data, ideas
and technologies. Writing remains a fundamental component of the process of exploration; Old World governments and resource
developerswrote out mandates, while
journals, reports, poetry and letters by the
explorers themselves documented their
findings.The power of writing was equal to
the actual exploration in creating a passion
for and a fundamental transformation of
Earth's natural and social environments.
During the fall quarter we will survey some
of the most significant explorations of the
WesternHemisphere and polar regions. We
willmodel the process of exploration by
discussingthe conditions that brought about
the major expeditions in the 16th through
19th centuries. We will use early technologies
of mapping, experiment with the deficiencies
of food and energy exchanges and read the
words of governments, entrepreneurs,
explorersand those who responded to these
events.We will also engage in conversations
withcurrent explorers through the use of the
Internetand Web pages. Finally, we will
becomeexplorers ourselves by participating in
fieldtrips to local points of major explorations.We will try to recreate the conditions
underwhich explorers operated. Reading and
writingabout explorations, including our
own,will be a major component of the
quarter.
Winter quarter will find us closer to home.
Wewill look at the consequences of exploration, the development of chemical and energy
exchangesto support the needs of exploring
and living in the New World and consider the
roleof writing in constructing the New World
as a place of social interactions with new
peoplesand places. We will interact with
current explorers, develop survival and social
interaction skills and study the impact of
exploration of the Pacific Northwest on the
nativelife forms and cultural groups.
During spring quarter, students will design,
proposeand execute their own explorations in
smallgroups and present their results as a
termproject.
Students must be prepared to endure
extremesof weather, physical exertion,
occasionalisolation and a wide range of
potentially unusual foods. A swimming test
willbe mandatory and both a sense of
directionand a sense of humor will be helpful.
Creditwill be awarded in introductory

What do you see when you walk through your
front door? Through a vacant lot? Through a
forest or by a stream? What do you know
about the natural world you inhabit and
humans' (or your) relationships with it? How
do you understand "art" in relationship to
nature? This program will help you explore
the interrelationships between art, ecology
and human development through coordinated
workshops, labs, lectures and field experiences. While work in the program will be at
the introductory college level, the results of
our explorations and investigations will be
applied to the real world and presented in
public forums.
The program is designed to provide

Travel Component: Three-day retreat.
The Caribbean and Brazil have a rich and
varied history of performing arts, set in a
context of economic tension, colonialism and
slavery. In this program we will use approaches from the fields of ethnomusicology
and ethnochoreology (the study of culture
through music and dance, respectively) to
explore some of the dynamics of culture and
power in the diaspora. We will also examine
the historical events that led to the development of samba in Brazil; the spiritual and
musical links between Haitian Vodou, Cuban
Santeria, Brazilian Candomblo and their
sources; and important social and ritual
connections in dance and movement. This
program is not for the academically faint of
heart; we expect students to commit to a
significant reading load and to dedicate
themselves to active, hands-on rehearsals of
dance and music. In addition, each student
will write a lO-page research essay on any
aspect of the performing arts in the diaspora,
and participate in a three-day intensive
performance retreat.
Credit will be awarded in ethnomusicology,
dance and culture, music and dance of the
Caribbean and music and dance of Brazil.

Can the essence of America derived from the
relationship between people and the
environment - the way the land has spoken
to us and the way we have learned to
manipulate nature for our our own ends? This
is the question driving our program, which
takes into account recent, influential ways of
examining relations between Americans and
nature. Richard White, for example, argues
that we know nature through our work. The
Environmental Justice movement states that
the environment is where we live, work and
play. William Cronon argues, "Environment
may initially shape the range of choices
available to a people at a given moment but
then culture reshapes environment responding
to these choices. The reshaped environment
presents a new set of possibilities for cultural
reproduction, thus setting up a new cycle of
mutual determination. Changes in the way
people create and re-create their livelihood
must be analyzed in terms of changes not only
In their social relations but in their ecological
relations as well."
Grounded in environmental history and
political economy, our program will examine
the interactions of diverse Americans and
nature/environment as expressed in literature,
art, and music. Our work will involve us in
more than the analysis of relations of other
Americans with nature and the environment·
we will also develop our understandings of '
our own interactions with nature and the
environment through drawing and field
observation. Accordingly, while we will
participate in reading seminars and in a great
deal of research and writing, we will also
participate in basic drawing workshops, field
natural history workshops and considerable
explorations of outdoors in urban, rural, and
relatively undisturbed environments.
In fall, we look at human and nature
interactions from the first Americans to the
end of the 18th century. In winter we will
focus on the 19th century. In spring, the 20th
century will be the center of our attention.
Students participating in this program
should be extremely motivated, hard working
and willing to have the program work
consistently at the center of their lives,
Credit will be awarded in environmental
studies, political economy and drawing.

This program is designed to give the student a
set of perspectives on how the performing arts
(music, dance and theater) have expressed the
concerns and values of people in particular
times and places. We will examine social
changes that gave rise to shifts in the arts,
focusing in particular on eras or phenomena
that are of specific cultural interest. Such eras
might include the golden age of Greece, the
power of Rome, the Middle Ages, the 19th
century, and the early 20th century. In
addition to examining European and
American forms, we will look at several Asian
performing arts and the contexts that gave rise
to them. We expect to ask provocative
questions, such as: What is the relationship
between power, patronage and the performing
arts? Does the artist predict the culture or does
the culture call forth the artist? Is there a
connection between ritual origins of the
performing arts and their spiritual effects?
What social contexts have given rise to the
gender-based divisions in the performing arts?
In addition to reading, viewing films and
attending lectures, students will be asked to
present individual research and collaborative
project work.
This program generates 12 credits per
quarter; students are encouraged to take the
additional four credits in either skill-based
performing arts or a foreign language. Faculty
will be offering three Asian performing arts
courses (four credits each) in Gamelan
(Indonesia), Butoh (Japan) and Orissi dance
(India);we will give program students priority
in course enrollment. Other skill-based courses
in the arts and languages are also available.
Credit will be awarded in European performingarts history and theory, performance

Rich and industrialized nations from the
North assert that capitalism brought progress
and welfare to many nations. People from
Africa, Asia, Latin American and the
Caribbean argue that capitalism was based on
primitive accumulation rooted in the primitive
violence, pillage and genocide of the inhabitants of the Third World. Accordingly, they
claim that rich nations exist today because
their ancestors plundered other nations for
centuries. First Europe and then the U.S.A.,
after they expropriated Third World people of
their right to life, have created and imposed
structures and laws that allowed them to
decide the destiny of these continents. These
conditions have permitted historical oppressors to behave like creditors and judges who
dictate sentences forcing Third World
countries to continue funneling their wealth
toward the developed economies, according to
this interpretation. Through these mechanisms, Africa, Asia, Latin America and the
Caribbean were converted into secondary
chapters of the European history, it is argued
by the Third World. Besides the rules of
European capitalist markets, their culture,
religion and identity were imposed upon them.
Peoples from these continents were forced to
be ashamed of themselves because they were
Indians or Blacks, to renegade their cultures
and to accept living under eternal conditions
of exile in their own lands.
This group contract will study the above
processes in the Americas from pre-Columbian
times until today from a multidisciplinary
approach that includes history, politics,
economics, religion, culture, folklore,
literature, theater, media, art, etc. Within this
context, the process of underdevelopment,
which characterizes the region today, will be
historically analyzed and evaluated in light of
the formation and expansion of the capitalist
system in Europe first and the United States
later. This program will utilize Latin American
approaches and interpretations, as opposed to
Eurocentric studies and models from Europe
and the U.S.A.

This group contract will also incl~de a
component that applies social research
methods to study the subjects described here.
Projects, including video production, cultural
journalism, folklore, theater, alternative media
and Spanish language, will be developed by
students working in small groups. During
winter quarter the program will offer
interested students a chance to prepare for
spring quarter travel to Chile. Participation in
research projects and production of several
short documentaries about relevant topics
studied in this program will be the focus of the
Field School to Chile, a separate program (see
page 51).
Credit awarded in social sciences, communications, Latin American studies, political
economy, arts, television production and
writing.

There are places in the world that are imbued
with a feeling of sacredness. Throughout time
people have inhabited these places and, by
design and practice, made them into sites for
cultural and spiritual activity. In this program
we will focus on such places as a way to learn
about the cultural origins of places, the
sacred attributes and meanings associated
with places, the systems of knowledge and
thought reflected in these places, and the
relationships between local knowledge
systems and environment.
We will focus our study on sacred places
- those places inhabited by people yet
distinguished by their otherworldliness. The
sacredness associated with these places - the
attribution of holiness, spirits or energy will help focus our study on the essential,
often intangible, knowledge, insight and
relationships peoples in the world have
struggled to make known.
In our study we will explore the relationship between physical and cognitive
structures. We will look closely at such sites
as Chaco Canyon, Stonehenge and Delphi, as
well as local Pacific Northwest peoples'
knowledge and beliefs and their physical
structures. In so doing we will draw on
material from anthropology, archaeoastronomy, archaeology, history, literature,
algebra and geometry. Our texts will be both
written and visual.
This is an introductory program. We will
work closely on helping students develop
academic skills and background to effectively
study and interpret the material. We will
emphasize reading, writing, study skills,
computer and Internet use, research and a
variety of computation skills. We will study
algebra, geometry and order of magnitude
estimates. Throughout the program we will
pay close attention to the practices and
assumptions of science as it shapes our study
of sacred places.
Credit awarded in anthropology, archaeology,
astronomy, algebra, geometry, history,
literature and writing.
Total: 16 credits each quarter.
Program is preparatory for careers and future
studies in science, humanities and social
sciences.

Shelter: Eco-Design in

What are ecologically sound homes and workplaces for real, present-day human beings? We
will pursue this question by combining large
visions with solid foundational knowledge.
The heart of the program is designing:
homes and workplaces must be imagined
before they can be built. A yearlong design
studio will teach relevant skills and knowledge
through a series of small and large projects.
For some students, this may mean helping
design real-world buildings, such as the new
Seminar II classroom building, an appropriate-technology house at the Organic Farm, a
possible expansion of Housing or a youth
hostel for downtown Olympia.
Other students may focus on off-grid living,
Third World needs, waste management,
energy, alternative materials such as straw,
earth or recycled tires, the technological
visions of people like Buckminister Fuller or
Amory Lovins, the whole systems understanding of Lynn Margulis and others, or the social
visions of Boston's Dudley Street Project.
As vital background to designing, students
and faculty will do readings, lectures,
seminars, library research and site visits on
two major themes: human needs, wants and
hopes; and nature's processes, within which
human life must take place.
Students and faculty will develop their
facility in graphics, structural and environmental analysis, modeling, literature searching
on- and off-line, group problem solving and
effective writing.
This program seeks students from a variety
of levels, backgrounds and interests. Be ready
to participate energetically, to learn from
fellow students as well as faculty, to share
skills and insights generously. Some program
activities will be organized according to level;
others will be shared by all.
Credit awarded in design studio, humanities,
social science and natural science. Upperdivision credits will depend on student
background and performance.

Staying Put The Story As Home

Some have settled down. Some have fashioned
a life firmly grounded - in a home, within a
community, inside a long-term relationship.
They use the same tools, have a deep knowledge of place, and know their neighbors and
neighborhood. Their lives are a radical rebuke
to Western consumerist/throw-away culture.
When vagabond winds blow, some bundle up
and stay put.
What does it mean to be alive in an era
when the earth is being devoured, and in the
country that is mainly responsible for the
process? What are we called to do? What are
we up against, those of us who want to
become grounded in one place? How strong,
how old, is the impulse we resist? And if you
stick in one place, won't you become stuck?
Won't you become narrow, dull, backwards?
The song of the open road is America's song,
after all; how can and why should anyone
resist it? How can we harness our restlessness?
This group contract is concerned with the
sense of staying put in one place and with
storytelling as it is written or told in the
landscape or place by the people who live or
lived there over time.
We will study writings on place by a diverse
group such as: Russell Sanders, whose book
names our program and animates our
approach; The Real Work: Interviews and
Talks 1964-1979, Gary Snyder; A Year in the
Country, Sue Hubbell; Dakota: A Spiritual
Biography, Kathleen Norris; The Wooing of
Earth, Rene Dubos; and writings by Wendell
Berry, Henry David Thoreau and Anne
Dillard. We will also look at the indigenous
wisdom of American Indians and Australian
Aborigines.
We will begin genealogies, write weekly and
quarterly narrative nonfiction writings and
stories, and examine the role of the storyteller!
writer as social/cultural witness through
workshops, seminars, research and writing.
We all need to get good at looking at, listening
to and telling stories, our own and others.
Stories are our homes. "Finding a fitting place
for ourselves in the world is finding a place
for oneself in a story," as J 0 Carson explains.
Credit awarded in American studies, humanities, independent project, narrative nonfiction

Charles McCann, the founding president of the college, spoke about teaching
and learning at Evergreen in the following way:
"This college has collected scholars who, insofar as they inquire in their
fields of interest, will by their presence here together form a living link
between our present society and the past, a source of power with which to
help us all meet the future. Students will work as colleagues with faculty and
others, and together these people will TRY (that word is emphasized because
it involves all of the college's people in continual change) to create a place
whose graduates can as adults be undogmatic citizens and uncomplacently
confident individuals in a changing world."
The faculty members in the Culture, Text and Language area share these
views and offer programs in which faculty and students alike engage in
scholarly inquiry of our social world. Programs in this area focus on
questions related to knowledge and interpretations of the social world. Those
questions are explored with content and strategies from the humanities,
integrating perspectives from the social sciences, practices in the arts and the
natural and physical sciences.
.
The faculty members in Culture, Text and Language invite students to join
them in the programs they offer and together create "living links" between
both our past and our present society and the urgent questions sdll before us.
This area is distinguished in that its members' backgrounds and interests span
the full breadth of the liberal arts, including humanities, sciences, arts and
social sciences. As such it offers intermediate and advanced interdisciplinary
programs relevant to all students at the college.
I
Culture, Text and Language offers programs in language and culture, area
studies, cultural studies, philosophy and psychology. In the language and
culture offerings, students have an opportunity for intensive, challenging,
interdisciplinary study. The study of language at Evergreen is integrated fully
with the study of culture. Because we believe that learning languages is the
key to understanding other cultures (and vice versa), we teach diem together.'
That is, we teach language through the study of history, literature, philosophy
and art; and culture through the study of language.
The area also offers programs in cultural studies with emphases in
anthropology, sociology and psychology. The focus of these programs
includes ethnography, popular culture, media studies and cultural theory. In
these programs current issues, events and practices offer foci for' exploring
relevant historical and philosophical traditions.
.
The area regularly offers programs that inquire critically into European
history and philosophical traditions. Programs are organized around rigorous
study of key texts such as Plato's Republic or Hannah Arendt's The Human
Condition. Program emphases include philosophy, history, political theory
and literature.

A place is a story happening many times ....
Over there? We say 'blind woman steaming
cloverroots become ducks.' We tell that story
for you at place of meeting one another in
winter. But now is our time for travel. We will
name those stories as we pass them by.
-Kwakiutl, told by Franz Boas
In the absence of shared past experiences in a
multicentered society, storytelling and old
photography serve as our separate imagined
communities. Narratives and images describe
relationships between the teller and told, here
and there, past and present. What's up? The
answer is story?
Stories once detailed shared experiences.
Now it may be that only stories themselves
offer us common ground. Once you start
hearing certain stories and retelling them, you
gain membership in a group and community.
You become related, since the story is, as Terry
Tempest Williams says, "...the umbilical chord
between past, present, and future."
When most governments and educational
institutions are no longer trusted, authority
shifts to the storytellers. Often the most
valuable local cultural resources are the
grandmothers or young people with tape
recorders or the man by the creek on the
outskirts of town who can spin tales about the
old days. The sense of place often outlasts the
place itself.
This group contract is concerned with
stories as they are written or told in the
landscape or place by the people who live or
lived there. The intersections of culture,
history, geography and nature form the ground
on which we stand - our land, our home, our
group, the local.
We will study writings on place by a diverse
group. These writings will include: The Poetics
of Space, Gaston Bachelard; The Power of
Place: Urban Landscapes As Public History,
Dolores Hayden; The Geography of Childhood: Why Children Need Wild Places, Gary
Paul Nabhanard and Stephen Trimble;
Through Navaho Eyes, Sol Worth and John
Adair; On The Road, Jack Kerouac; Space and
Place: The Perspective of Experience; Yi-Fu
Tuan; Pilgrim At Tinker Creek, Annie Dillard.
We will also look at an eclectic group of visual
artists and film makers such as: Norval
Morriseau, Ken Burns, Spike Lee, Olivia
Gude, May Sun and Wym Winders.

We will begin genealogies, explore symbolic
and "real" landlcityscapes, and examine the
role of the storyteller/writer/visual artist as
social/cultural witness through workshops,
seminars, readings, performances, research,
writing and student-originated projects. We all
need to get good at looking at, listening to
and telling stories, our own and others. Stories
are our homes. "Finding a fitting place for
oneself in the world is finding a place for
oneself in a story," as J 0 Carson explains.
Credit awarded in American studies,
independent project, community studies,
literature, narrative non-fiction writing and
humanities.
Total: 16 credits.
Program is preparatory for careers and future
studies in writing, media communications,
cultural studies, community work, law,
teaching and Native American studies.
This program is also listed under First-Year
Programs.

American Community
Fall, Winter, Spring/Coordinated Study
Faculty: Sam Schrager and David Marr
Enrollment: 48
Prerequisite: None. This all-level program will
accept up to 25 percent first-year students.
Faculty Signature: No
Special Expenses: Students should expect to
spend $40 on a year-end retreat.
Part-Time Options: No
Internship Possibilities: Yes
Travel Component: In-state, overnight retreat.
A public philosophy for the twenty-first century
will have to give more weight to the community
than to the right of private decision. It will have
to emphasize responsibilities rather than rights.
It will have to find a better expression of
community than the welfare state. It will have
to limit the scope of the market and the power
of corporations without replacing them with a
centralized state bureaucracy.
Historian Christopher Lasch's words invoke
a vital, complex debate about competing visions
of democracy in America. Do democratic ideals
point toward a classless society where the good
life flows from self-reliance, mutual respect and
active citizenship? Or does democracy demand
upward mobility, great wealth and poverty, and
elites leading all spheres of society? Abraham
Lincoln and Martin Luther King embraced the
first view, Lasch argues. But the second has
proved ascendant. We believe more in consumerism, the state and fulfilling personal needs
than in our capacity to live well in communities.
This program will explore the past course
and present prospects of the democratic experiment. We will examine Americans' changing
consciousness about life, focusing on the last
hundred years, with attention also given to the
19th century. At the center of this inquiry will
be intensive reading of novels, history, documentary writing, social criticism and poetry.
This reading will lead to sustained research
projects: in fall, a library-based historical study;
in winter, gathering oral histories in the local
community; in spring, advanced ethnographic,
historical or literary research and writing.
Our purpose is to work toward a public
philosophy for citizenship in the new century.
Students and faculty will honestly face enduring
dilemmas of self and community, matters
involving equality, morality, diversity, faith,
class, place and progress.
Program faculty will provide a stimulating
intellectual context: guidance on writing, research methods and approaches to challenging
texts and ideas. In turn, we have high expectations. We welcome first-year students ready to
be seriously engaged in their studies and offer
strong support to upper-division students.
Credit awarded in American history, American
literature, cultural studies, community studies
and sociology. Upper-division credit is available
for those who earn it.
Total: 16 credits each quarter.
Program is preparatory for careers and future
studies in humanities, social sciences, community service and law.

Black and Green 2000: The
Struggle for Community and
Equality in the United States
Spring/Coordinated Study
Faculty: Angela Gilliam and Patrick Hill
Enrollment: 50

Most of us have become aware that the
official story of our nation's past, as told in
the history books of our primary and
secondary schools, is just one version of what
happened, a socially constructed version
designed to serve certain purposes. We may
also have become aware that this official
version is too narrow or exclusive to serve the
democratic aspirations of our increasingly
multicultural democracy.
This program, drawing upon the experience
of the two instructors, will focus in its
readings and lectures on the "hidden
histories" of two peoples in the United States:
the African American and the Irish American.
In terms of time periods, the foci will be (1)
the so-called "founding" or colonial era; (2)
the afterbirth of the nation, with attention to
such topics as post-famine migration from
Ireland, minstrelsy, the American Civil War
and Reconstruction; and (3) the post-World
War II era in which the American "community" is consolidated in the face of civil-rights
struggles, the labor movement and the
emergence of North-South conflict. Special
attention will be given in a quarter-ending
conference to the often strained relations
between peoples like Irish Americans and
African Americans whose shared experience
of catastrophe might have yielded (and may
yet yield) a more cooperative struggle.

Credit awarded in bilingual education theory,
history and policy, linguistics, language
acquisition and sociolinguistics, multicultural
education, ESL and second or foreign
language teaching methodology and practice
and intermediate/advanced Spanish.
Total: 12 or 16 credits each quarter.
Program is preparatory for careers and future
studies in education, Master in Teaching,
linguistics, ESL and second or foreign
language teaching.

Students who register for a program or
course but do not attend the first class
meeting may be dropped.

Student work in this program will build on
work of students in previous offerings of the
program and wl11 be shelved in the library as
contributions to the creation of the new
multicultural narrative vital to the future of
the nation. Program activities will include the
lectures, films and videos, and twice-weekly
seminars, and weekly written work will be
required. But in addition and most importantly, all students will be required (1) to do
extensive research into some aspect of hidden
histories (e.g., of Chinese American settlements in the 19th century New York City or
the participation and leadership of Native
American women in tribal governance), (2) to
enter into collaborative dialogue with
differently focused students in the program,
(3) to present one's own research and respond
to the research of others in end-of-theprogram public conferences, and (4) to assist
us all in framing the inclusion ofthose
histories in an ultimately comprehensive
multicultural narrative that enables us to live
together with respect for and appreciation of
our differences.

Bones and Stones: The Roots of
Society, the Achievements of
Our Prehistoric Ancestors

Creative Non-Fiction: Reading
and Writing the Literature of
Reality

Winter/Group Contract
Faculty: Gordon Beck
Enrollment: 25
Prerequisites: Junior or senior standing
Faculty Signature: No
Special Expenses: None
Part-Time Options: No
Internship Possibilities: No
Travel Component: None
In this program we will be reading the
"prehistoric library" of bones, stones and
ancient artifacts. Our goal is to develop an
understanding of the world of the earliest
humans and to ponder the achievements of all
of our ancestors through reading texts of
bone, stone, ivory, paint, metals and ancient
cities. Our major activity is research.
Our program of exploration and discovery
will utilize the tools of history, archaeology,
anthropology, art history and mythology. We
will read several secondary texts in order to
survey current opinions; however, our
investigations will involve a great deal of
research, careful interpretation of evidence
and speculative reasoning.
We will explore the dim past of our human
species, the formation of the continents and of
the earliest societies. From the Olduvai Gorge
to Lascaux, from Ur to Ife, from
Nagarjunakonda to the Nile Valley, from
Guila Naquitz to Monte Alban and from
Catal Hiiyiik to Mohenjo-Daro, our research
will help us seek to understand the roots of
social order.
This program will use books, writing,
evaluation of primary evidence and analytical
speculation in search of understanding. Our
texts are often to be found in the surviving
artifacts of various cultures.
Books used will include L. Cavalli-Sforza,
Great Human Diasporas; History of Diversity
and Evolution; C. Gamble, Timewalkers: The
Prehistory of Global Colonization; ]. Lester,
Writing Research Papers; C. Lumsden and E.
O. Wilson, Promethean Fire; Reflections on
the Origin of Man; S. Mithen, Prehistory of
the Mind; C. Renfrew and P. Bahn, Archaeology: Theories, Methods and practices; W. I.
Thompson, Coming Into Being; and Colin
Tudge, Time Before History.
Our activities will include lectures,
seminars, research presentations, field trips,
image workshops and films. Reading, writing
and discussion are central to all of these.

Writers have come to realize that non-fiction
can be as colorful and gripping as any piece of
fiction. The difference is that non-fiction
writers are not burdened with inventing
characters, plot and description as everything
they write about actually happened. Creative
non-fiction writers assemble facts and events
and array them artistically and stylistically
using the descriptive techniques of the fiction
writer. They immerse themselves in a venue,
set about gathering their facts while demonstrating scrupulous accuracy, and then write
an account of what happened in their own
voice. Students will become facile with the
form through intensive field work, research
and writing.
This program combines journalism, field
research and investigation of literary
techniques. We will study folklore and field
research to learn to pay attention to detail,
and journalism to learn how to construct a
fact hierarchy and write a lead. Students will
be introduced to the focus structure format,
where the writer proceeds from the particular
to the general. This is an excellent feature
writing tool and we will spend some part of
the quarter writing feature stories. A main
emphasis in fall quarter will be the diligent
pursuit of venues for field observations in
preparation for writing the substantive final
piece in spring quarter.
In the winter we will continue the study of
creative non-fiction, as well as hone our
sensitivity to literature techniques, and
students will begin work on the first draft of
their major non-fiction piece. The form allows
the use of first-person narration and literary
conventions ordinarily forbidden in the
writing of news copy. It requires the writer to
be immersed in a subject area over an
extended period of time and demands careful
attention to detail to assure accuracy. ] ohn
McPhee says, "the piece of writing has a
structure inside it. It begins, goes along, and
ends in a manner that is thought out
beforehand." That being the case, all the
writer has to do is find that architecture and
the piece practically writes itself. This helps to
define and describe the form of creative nonfiction. The story and structure are already
there and all the writer has to do is take the
mallet and chisel and chip away the unnecessary marble encasing it to see the artistic form
emerge.

Credit awarded in anthropology of prehistoric
peoples, art of prehistoric people, archaeology
of human habitation and research writing.
Total: 16 credits.
Program is preparatory for careers and future
studies in humanities, arts and social sciences.

Richard Rhodes, creative non-fiction writer,
assembledthe following list of descriptors of
theform: historical sweep, attention to
language,participation and immersion,
symbolicrealities, accuracy, sense of time and
place,grounded observations, context and
voice.

Mark Kramer, noted writer and teacher in
the genre of creative non-fiction said, "It is
likea Steinway piano. It's good enough for all
the art I can put in into it. You can put Glenn
Gould on a Steinway and the Steinway is still
better than Glenn Gould. It's good enough to
hold all the art I can bring to it. And then
some."
We will continue to study the form and
discussrepresentative pieces written by noted
authors like Joseph Mitchell, Jane Kramer,
Susan Orlean and Tom Wolfe. Following a
period of redrafting and corrections, students
will finish the polished piece and make a
presentation to the group in the last week of
spring quarter.
Credit will be awarded in feature writing,
creative non-fiction, folklore, field research
and the literature of reality.
Total: 16 credits each quarter.
Program is preparatory for careers and future
studies in communications, media and other
career opportunities that require writing skills.

Crescent, Crossand Cupola:
Islam and Christianity of the
East and West

Prerequisites: Sophomore standing or above
Faculty Signature: No
Special Expenses: No

Internship Possibilities: No
Travel Component: None
Our entry into the new millennium has
stimulated a powerful upsurge of interest in
spiritual experience. In confronting our
spirituality, we are asking new and tough
questions about death and salvation, mystical
and ecstatic experience, sex and gender,
violence, morality, the direction of humanity,
the end of the world, the identity of the
Creator. How do Islam and Christianity in the
East and West approach these questions?
What are some significant differences between
Eastern and Western Christianity on these and
other issues? What are the historical,
theological, and cultural roots of these faiths?
How does each of these faiths view itself in
relation to the others? As participants in the
program, we will work to replace our
sometimes vague impressions and assumptions
with a more accurate, sensitive and grounded
comprehension of these traditional faiths.
In lectures and seminars we will explore
these questions historically and as they unfold
in the contemporary world. We will read the
history and sacred literature of these faiths,
studies of controversial issues, and novels and
short stories that deal with our questions in
imaginative ways. Students will engage in
individual and group research. Finally, we will
acquaint ourselves firsthand with the varieties
of Christian and Islamic worship through field
trips to churches and mosques and in
discussions with both Christian and Islamic
clergy. Welcome to the feast!
Credit awarded in comparative religion,
cultural anthropology, sacred literature,
European and Near Eastern history and
culture.
Total: 16 credits each quarter.
Program is preparatory for careers and future
studies in Humanities, comparative religion,
theology, European and Near Eastern history,
professional service in Islam or Christianity,
sacred literature.

Cultural Crossings:Labor and
Migration in the Americas
Fall, Winter/Coordinated Study
Faculty: Tom Womeldorff, Jose Gomez, Peta
Henderson, Alice Nelson
Enrollment: 100
Prerequisites: Sophomore standing. Core
program or equivalent.
Faculty Signature: No
Special Expenses: Up to $200 for retreat and
field trip to Eastern Washington.
Part-time Options: No
Internship Possibilities: No
Travel Component: Possible retreat and field

Over the last 150 years, the Americas have
become increasingly intertwined economically,
politically and culturally. Using multiple
perspectives from the humanities and the
social sciences, this program will study aspects
of the historical and contemporary experiences of Mexicans and Puerto Ricans, both in
their countries of origin and in the United
States. In particular, we will explore how the
uneven colonial, class, ethnic and gender
relationships within and between countries
have played themselves out in a series of
displacements. These displacements have
ranged from the more literal pushes and pulls
of migration patterns and labor relations to
the more metaphorical transformations of
cultural forms and group identities over the
course of time.
In the fall, we will focus on the
interconnectedness of economics, politics and
culture in Mexico and Puerto Rico, in the
context of phenomena as diverse as: 1)
economic "development" models such as
Puerto Rico's Operation Bootstrap and
Mexico's Border Industrialization Program; 2)
political and cultural resistance movements
such as Puerto Rico's Independentista and
Mexico's Zapatista movements; and 3)
migrations both to and from the United
States, with their indelible effects on families
and communities.
In the winter, we will cross the borders into
the United States, where Mexican Americans
and mainland-born Puerto Ricans, as well as
recent migrants, have created vibrant
synthesizing forms of political, economic and
cultural action and protest. Topics may
include: 1) the history of United States
immigration and recent congressional efforts
to regulate it; 2) the farmworkers' movement
and recent labor struggles, and 3) the
emergence of distinctive Chicano and Puerto
Rican literary and theatrical forms (e.g.,
Teatro Campesino, border art and Neyorican
poetry).

Students who register for a program or
course but do not attend the first class
meeting may be dropped.

Over the course of the two quarters,
students will gain an in-depth ability to
interpret literary and visual texts in their
social contexts and to use political economic
and legal models to address specific social
questions. In addition, each student will carry
out a research project over the two quarters
on a topic related to program themes; this
project will hone skills in prospectus- and
report-writing, library and community-based
research, and oral presentation. Because this is
conceived as an integral two-quarter sequence,
no new students will be accepted in the winter.
Credit will be awarded in Latin American and
Latino history and literature, political
economy, economics of migration and labor,
cultural anthropology and legal studies.
Total: 16 credits each quarter.
This program is preparatory for careers and
future study in Latin American and Latino
Studies, international political economy and
economics, literature, cultural anthropology
and international relations.

Education: Beyond High School

Winter/Group Contract
Faculty: Gilbert Salcedo
Enrollment: 25
Prerequisites: Sophomore standing. One year
humanities or social science.
Faculty Signature: No
Special Expenses: No
Part-Time Options: No
Internship Possibilities: No
Travel Component: None
In this one-quarter humanities group contract
we will study prose fiction, poetry, autobiography, memoir and social history. The central
theme is the determination of individuals to
survive, spiritually and physically, against the
odds they face in a variety of hostile social,
cultural and historical settings. The primary
aim is to acquaint students with the many
dimensions of a universal theme as expressed
in novels, poems and plays, and to provide the
opportunity for intellectual growth through
reasoned, moral assessment of the conflict
between the demand for social conformity as
a reflection of communal value-consensus and
the individual's struggle for personal integrity
and self-preservation.
Seminar readings will focus on the writings
of individuals who have left us a record of
their hopes, dreams, pain, disillusionment and
courage in their battle for existence outside
the margins of respectable society. Works to
be studied include Cormac McCarthy's
Suttree; Guzman's Lazarillo of 16th century
Spain (in English translation); the experiences
in the 1920s of George Orwell in his Down
and Out in Paris and London; Jerzy
Koscinski's tale of war-time survival in
Eastern Europe, The Painted Bird; the pathos
of Tennessee Williams' Twenty-Seven Wagons
Full of Cotton, one-act plays about people just
barely hanging on; and the hard-edged
compassion for the urban underdogs of the
late 20th century Los Angeles in Ham On Rye
and Love is a Dog From Hell, the stories and
poems of Charles Bukowski.
Students will have the opportunity to refine
informal discussion skills through seminars on
the interpretation of literature, develop critical
reflection skills through theme-related
journals and strengthen formal exposition
skills through the composition of short essays.
Seminar will include oral presentation of
writing.
An additional four credits are possible
through a related independent project or
additional course.

of U.S. colleges and universities. Topics may
include:
• Debates about access and quality. Access to
college and university education expanded
significantly following World War II.
Accompanying that change was the argument
that the quality of education diminished. We
are currently engaged in another period of
expanded opportunity for students, and the
questions about quality have again risen.
• Technology: Current technology challenges
old assumptions about education - that
education happens only on a campus, that a
library is an essential ingredient of education,
that education occurs around books, that
professors are the source of all knowledge.
• The purpose of university education:
Universities have served many purposes over
time-conservation of culture, promotion of
ethnic identity, protection of linguistic
heritage, creation of gentlemen. What is the
purpose of the modern university? To promote
excellence? To train workers for the 21st
century? Who gets to ask these questions?
Who gets to judge the answers?
• Expertise and the state: Might not the
university be just a source of cheap knowledge
for the state? (And do students and society
subsidize this relationship?)
• Community colleges: Washington ranks
high in college attendance but exceptionally
low in four-year college and university
attendance. What is the history and present
role of community colleges?

accept up to 25 percent first-year students.
Faculty Signature: Yes, must have background
knowledge of Latin American studies. Faculty
will set up interviews. Transfer students may
call Jorge at (360) 866-6000, ext. 6740 or Email him at gilbertj@elwha.evergreen.edu.
Students must apply before February 1,2000.
Decisions will be made by February 15.
Special Expenses: Approximately $2,300 for
four weeks and $2,700 for eight weeks in
Chile (see included expenses below).
Part-Time Options: No
Internship Possibilities: No
Travel Component: Four or eight weeks in
Chile.
This program's interdisciplinary curriculum
will allow students to study, research and
experience firsthand political, cultural,
artistic, economic, environmental and
agricultural concerns affecting Chile and
South America at the end of the 20th century.
This field school will provide practical
opportunities to evaluate the neo-liberal
model being applied in Chile at the recommendation of the International Monetary
Fund and other international organizations.
Workshops, conferences and discussions with
political and community leaders and
grassroots organizations will explore the
direct impact this polemic model is having on
various social sectors of the country.
Participants will immerse themselves in the
sociopolitical and economic reality of a
country struggling to overcome underdevelopment. They are expected to learn about the
social, artistic, folkloric and intellectual life of
Chile and the different expressions they
assume according to class structure.
Background of Chile: One of the oldest Latin
American democracies - democracy was
abruptly interrupted by a military coup d'etat
between 1973 and 1990 - Chile is rapidly
trying to insert itself into a new international
world order under the leadership of an elected
civilian government. International organizations proudly exhibit its economy as one of
the most effective and successful in the Third
World. Chilean exports reach all world
markets and investments in Chile's economy
have grown significantly. At all levels,
programs and projects are being developed by
governmental, private, international and nongovernmental organizations. For these
reasons, the country is changing fast, not only
economically but culturally and politically.
Though many Chileans are of European
extraction, indigenous traditions are strong in
several parts of the country. The desert north,
once part of the Inca Empire, preserves
important archaeological remains, while
Aymara Indians still farm Andean valleys and
terraces. South of the heartland are Mapuche
Indians communities whose symbolic
importance in Chilean life greatly exceeds
their political and economic significance. Until
the end of the 19th century, the Mapuche

maintained an effective and heroic resistance
to the southward advance of Chilean rule.
Chile's geographic diversity and surprising
cultural variety have made it an important
destination in its own right.
Logistics: The first weeks of the quarter will
introduce students to the culture, politics and
geography of the country. Working groups
will form to undertake research projects that
reflect the interests of the participants. Once
in Chile, the group will travel around the
country visiting governmental, non-governmental, private and church development
projects in urban and rural areas of the
country. Trips to the Andes, rural, urban and
mining sectors, the National Congress in the
Port of Valparaiso, and meetings with
governmental authorities, political leaders and
grassroots organizations take place. Students
will have the opportunity to interact with a
wide range of the Chilean population to learn
and evaluate the effects of the new economic
and cultural changes. Classes, conferences and
workshops about this and other topics will be
available at University of Chile and other
educational and research institutions.
Requirements: Students are expected to keep
a journal about their experiences in the
country and to work in a group research
project (individual projects may be approved
after discussion with the faculty). For
research, students can travel around the
country, consult with people, visit libraries
and universities. Students must submit their
research proposals by the third week of the
spring quarter.
Although knowledge of the Spanish language
is not required, it is highly recommended that
students gain familiarity with this language.
Most program activities will be enhanced by
knowledge of Spanish; lectures and workshops will be in English.
Students can stay for four or eight weeks in
Chile. Those who return earlier can complete
their projects on campus using material
gathered in Chile.
Participants of this field school are required
to pay a deposit of $150 (refundable upon
certain circumstances) by February 16, 1999.

Participants in this group contract will
explore, in considerable detail, several of the
great novels of Russian literature. Above all,
we will determine why they are considered
great by the Russian people and why they
have taken their rightful place among the
annals of great world literature. We will also
examine the novels for what they reveal about
Russian cultural and social history in the 19th
and 20th centuries. Russians have tended to
look to their great writers for moral and, in
some cases, spiritual guidance. They regarded
Dostoevsky and Tolstoy, to cite two famous
examples, not only as great writers, but also
as philosophers and social critics. We will thus
consider the novels as works of art, moral
statements and social documents. The reading
will include the works of the following
novelists: Lermontov, Turgenev, Goncharov,
Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Bely, Bulgakov and
Pasternak.

The Making of the Modern
Woman
Fall, Winter, Spring/Group Contract
Faculty: Nancy Taylor
Enrollment: 25
Prerequisites: Junior or senior standing
Faculty Signature: No
Special Expenses: No
Part-Time Options: No
Internship Possibilities: No
Travel Component: None
The goal of this group contract is to understand the changing concepts and definitions of
womanhood as they developed in European
and American cultures. We will study the
social, political and cultural history of women
from the 18th century to the postwar era,
exploring women's interaction with the state,
the workforce, men and with one another. We
will focus on primary sources, both historical
and literary, to get the story of women
through women's voices as much as possible.
Here is a sampling of some themes we will
discuss: origins of feminist thought, the
private versus the public spheres, suffrage
politics, representations of female sexuality,
the female artist and her male critic, women,
war and pacificism and women in health and
medicine. We'll read classic texts by writers
such as Mary Wollstonecraft, Harriet Taylor,
and Virginia Woolf; we'll read fiction by
George Eliot, Kate Chopin and Charlotte
Perkins Gilman; and autobiographies and
biographies. And, we will study theoretical
and interpretative works by current scholars.
The questions always will be, "How do
women get defined and how do they define
themselves?" and "What does it mean to be a
'modern' woman?" We will study historical
methods by delving into the ways historians
select evidence from and then make interpretations about the historical past. And we
will work to understand current literary
theory as it is used to explicate women's
experience. There will be opportunities for
serious debate, for discovering keys to the
current conversation about women and
gender and for forming a small scholarly
group of people who can support one another
in pursuing questions of personal interest.
Students will each do a major literary or
historical research project using primary
sources, which should extend over the whole
year. Students will learn to frame useful
research questions and carry out a substantial
piece of research themselves.
This program is designed for serious
students of history and literature who
consider themselves well-read, good writers,
highly motivated and genuinely curious about
the changing roles and definitions of women.

On Interpretation: Foundation
Work in the Humanities and
Interpretive Social Sciences
Fall, Winter/Coordinated Study
Faculty: Greg Mullins, TBA
Enrollment: 50
Prerequisites: Sophomore standing
Faculty Signature: No
Special Expenses: No
Part-Time Options: No
Internship Possibilities: No
Travel Component: None
What does it mean to understand a poem, or a
picture, or what happened a hundred years
ago, or why someone keeps acting in a stupid
way? Is it just a matter of opinion or
somebody else's guess? Do some people really
see and know a lot more than others about
such things? This program involves ongoing
practice in trying to answer questions like
these better, as well as careful exploration of
theories about what, if anything, can be
known about the meaning of others' actions.
This program prepares students for
sophisticated work in the humanities and
interpretive social sciences (fields like
anthropology, sociology, history and some
types of psychology). Such disciplines attempt
to understand human acts - from slips of the
tongue to religious rituals, sonnets to political
choices, cartoons to painted church ceilings.
They all involve the same fundamental
intellectual process-interpreting situations that
have multiple sources of meaning, including
the intentions of the actor, what some
audiences make of those actions and other
contexts as well. We will pay close attention
to the methods and tools of various disciplines, to ideas about the functions and values
of art and to analyzing and critiquing
philosophical arguments about what is
involved in claiming to understand someone
else's actions.

The Paradoxes of Romanticism
Fall, Winter/Coordinated Study
Faculty: Argentina Daley, Charles Teske, TBA
Enrollment: 50
Prerequisites: Sophomore standing; one year
college-level composition; one year collegelevel literature; experience in performing or
visual arts desirable but not mandatory.
Faculty Signature: No
Special Expenses: No
Part-Time Options: No
Internship Possibilities: No
Travel Component: None
This program will draw from literature, music
and art in pursuing the paradoxes of
Romanticism. The Romantic movement in
Europe, the British Isles and America was
born out of the American and French political
revolutions, the Industrial Revolution and the
shift from mechanism to organicism in the
Western world view. It generated some of the
most powerful works of art - especially in
literature and music - and powerful idealistic
thoughts in the history of Western culture. But
it also led to self-indulgent Bohemianism and
sowed the seeds that were to produce the cult
of the hero, resulting eventually in totalitarian
Fascism in Italy, Germany and Spain.
Romantic artists idealized communal
belonging, but also megalomanical individualism; connections with the medieval past and
folk traditions, but also highly self-conscious
innovations; freedom for all, but also fervent
nationalism. They explored the heights of
human aspiration, but also the depths of
human despair. Often Romantic artists lost or
abandoned their functional places in society to
become "alienated geniuses."
To appreciate the greatness and understand
the tensions in Romanticism, we shall
concentrate our focus fall quarter on William
Blake, S. T. Coleridge, William Wordsworth,
Lord Byron, Mary Shelley and Goethe. We
will also look at the musical figures of
Beethoven, Berlioz, Schubert, Schuman and
perhaps Wagner and Verdi.
During winter quarter, our focus of study
will most likely focus on Carlyle, Thoreau,
Emerson, Hawthorne and Melville in an
attempt to understand how European thought
influenced the development of American
thought, and how the Americans brought their
own experience to bear on this European
influence.
The program, at least for fall quarter, will
provide an optional part-time, four-credit
module in a foreign language or other subject
related to the program's themes and areas of
study. Additionally, modules will be offered
internally by the program faculty. Faculty
approval will be required for the inclusion of
outside modules.

Part-Time Options: Yes, 6 credits in French
language.
Internship Possibilities: No
Travel Component: Optional spring quarter
travel to France.
The French-speaking world offers a veritable
crossroads of cultures; its literature, history,
film and visual arts provide the voices of
revolution and tradition our program will
explore. We will trace the history of aesthetic,
social and political developments within France
and in the Francophone cultures of Africa and
the Caribbean from the contemporary world
back as far as 1789.
Fall quarter we will study revolution
through the parallel historical examples of the
French and Haitian revolutions and through
literary and artistic figures whose words caused
upheaval in a tradition-bound society. We will
read Rousseau and Voltaire, who laid the
foundations for revolution, and study the
romantic, symbolist, decadent and naturalist
aesthetics through such authors as Hugo, Sand,
Baudelaire, Rimbaud, Jarry and Zola. We will
read Cesaire and James on the Haitian
Revolution and compare the ideals and
expectations of that revolution with the
concurrent one in France.
Winter quarter we will consider the Cubist,
Dada-Surrealist, Existentialist and Negritude
movements. We will emphasize the voices of
writers from Africa and the Caribbean who use
the colonizer's French as a tool of their
liberation and discuss such concepts as
religious and cultural syncretism, culture
building and ritual. Students will learn about
colonialism from the viewpoint of the
colonized and the colonizer, and study the war
for liberation in Algeria. We will read Cesaire,
Maximin, Conde and Schwarz-Bart from the
Caribbean; Abouzeid and Chraibi from North
Africa; Sembene, Senghor and Laye from West
Africa; Sartre, Genet, Artaud, Nin and
Iriguaray from France.

During spring quarter we anticipate a travel
option to Rennes, Paris and Lyon, France.
Spring quarter students remaining on campus
may continue language study at beginning,
intermediate or advanced levels (for four
credits).
More than half of the work we will do in
this program will be in French; however,
students will choose one of the following
module offerings (conducted in English) each
quarter: (1) seminar in French and
Francophone texts in translation; (2) seminar
in historical texts and historiography.
Credit will be awarded in French language,
French and Francophone literature, history,
art history, French and Francophone film.
Total: 6 or 16 credits fall and winter quarters;
4 or 16 spring quarter.
Program is preparatory for careers and future

The Quarterdeck
Fall, Winter, Spring/Group Contract
Faculty: John Filmer
Enrollment: 6
Prerequisites: Junior or senior standing
Faculty Signature: Yes, with faculty interview.
Students will be notified by mail or fax.
Special Expenses: During spring quarter,
students will go on a two-week sailing field
trip, approximately $300 per student.
Part-Time Options: No
Internship Possibilities: Yes, winter and spring
Travel Component: Two-week sailing trip.
While afoot and afloat, rain or shine, we will
examine some of Puget Sound's most interesting waterfront communities, their history,
economy, politics and demography, tailoring
our studies to the interests of you, the crew of
the Resolute, Evergreen's 44-foot yawl. While
exploring Puget Sound, we will often conduct
classes on the deck of one of the last of the
Annapolis 44s. Crew members will learn
power cruise and sail seamanship, how to get
along with crewmates, rules of the road,
about tides and currents, weather, boating
safety and regulations, the use of the compass
and nautical chart and various sailor's arts.
All decisions on board will be made by the
skipper and strict rules of discipline will be
followed. In addition to specific assigned
duties, crew members are expected to help
with vessel maintenance. This may involve
several hours a month of hard work.
Each crew member will develop his or her
own research proposal (in coordination with
the faculty and other crew members) for
community study and possible community
activities, focusing on the way things are now
in the context of the past, and particularly
from the perspective of the Water Link, the
Puget Sound. Class activities will include field
trips to organizations and shore-side
installations to observe and learn how Puget
Sound inhabitants participate in the regional
and global economy. These trips may require
appropriate apparel and other digressions
and deferrals commensurate with and
respectful for the environs and individuals
visited. Students may develop part-time
internships during the winter and spring
quarters as they become more focused on a
specificactivity. Students should plan on at
least one very long day per week on board the
vessel.
Applicants must pass a swim test and the
requirements and judgment of the skipper for
building a balanced crew. Applicants will be
interviewed by John Filmer and should be
willing to contract full time for the entire
academic year. Admittance will be based
solelyon the determination of the skipper.

Philosophy of Religion
Spring/Group Contract
Faculty: Alan Nasser, Pris Bowerman
Enrollment: 50
Prerequisites: Junior standing
Faculty Signature: No
Special Expenses: No
Part-Time Options: No
Internship Possibilities: No
Travel Component: None
This program will pursue questions about
religious belief that can be answered with the
use of unaided (by faith) human reason. This
is not an inspirational offering, nor does it
support any particular position on religious
belief. It focuses exclusively on Western
philosophy and religion.
There will be four principal foci:
• We will examine some of the classical
arguments of natural theology, i.e., some of
the best known proofs and disproofs of God's
existence.
• We will study the philosophy of religion of
some of the followers of the distinguished
20th century philosopher Ludwig
Wittgenstein.
• We will examine the moral and religious
philosophy of Simone Weil. Both Wittgenstein
and Weil offer profound reflections on the
place of religion in human life, which are
quite at odds with the mainstream tradition in
Western philosophy.
• In contemporary American culture, religion
plays an important role in political discourse.
The theological fundamentalism of the
"religious right" is a significant force in
discussions of social, political and economic
issues in this country. In other parts of the
world "liberation theology," a left/progressive
religious orientation, is alive and well.
We will study both left and right political
uses of religious beliefs and practices.
This academic and predominately analytic
program emphasizes the careful and detailed
study of demanding texts. This program is
geared to juniors and seniors only.
Credit awarded in philosophy of religion,
Wittgenstein on religion and sociology of
religion.
Total: 16 credits each quarter.
Program is preparatory for careers and future
studies in philosophy, theology and social
philosophy.
This program is also listed under Social
Science.

Rich and industrialized nations from the
North assert that capitalism brought progress
and welfare to many nations. People from
Africa, Asia, Latin American and the
Caribbean argue that capitalism was based on
primitive accumulation rooted in the primitive
violence, pillage and genocide of the
inhabitants of the Third World. Accordingly,
they claim that rich nations exist today
because their ancestors plundered other
nations for centuries. First Europe and then
the United States of America, after they
expropriated Third World people of their
right to life, have created and imposed
structures and laws that allowed them to
decide the destiny of these continents. These
conditions have permitted historical oppressors to behave like creditors and judges who
dictate sentences forcing Third World
countries to continue funneling their wealth
toward the developed economies, according to
this interpretation. Through these mechanisms, Africa, Asia, Latin America and the
Caribbean were converted into secondary
chapters of the European history, it is argued
by the Third World. Besides the rules of
European capitalist markets, their culture,
religion and identity were imposed upon
them. Peoples from these continents were
forced to be ashamed of themselves because
they were Indians or Blacks, to renegade their
cultures and to accept living under eternal
conditions of exile in their own lands.
This group contract will study the above
processes in the Americas from preColumbian times until today from a
multidisciplinary approach that includes
history, politics, economics, religion, culture,
folklore, literature, theater, media, art, etc.
Within this context, the process of underdevelopment, which characterizes the region
today, will be historically analyzed and
evaluated in light of the formation and
expansion of the capitalist system in Europe
first and the United States later. This program

Self, Gender and Culture:
Japanese and American
Literature and Cinema
Fall, Winter/Group Contract
Faculty: Harumi Moruzzi
Enrollment: 25
Prerequisites: Sophomore standing
Faculty Signature: No
Special Expenses: No
Part-Time Options: No
Internship Possibilities: No
Travel Component: None
This group contract is designed for students
interested in crosscultural exploration of the
concepts of self and gender.
It is often said that American and Japanese
cultures represent the mirror images of human
values. For instance, while American culture
emphasizes the importance of individuals over
groups, Japanese culture dictates group
cohesion; while Japanese women are valued
most as wives and mothers, American women
feel more valued as wage earners. Certainly,
the reality is not as simple as these stereotypes
indicate; nevertheless, this dichotomized
comparative cultural frame presents an
interesting context in which we can explore
many human issues. Thus, in this program we
explore the concepts of self and gender
represented in American and Japanese
literature, cinema as well as popular media.
During fall quarter, our focus will be on
film. At the beginning of the quarter, students
will be introduced to the rudiments of film
technology and the basic concepts of film
theory through texts and lectures. With these
analytical tools in hand, students will then
examine images of individuals and genders
produced in American and Japanese films
through seminars and critical writings. In
addition to critically viewing film, students will
engage in weekly readings concerning culture
and gender.
Students will also acquire rudimentary
experience in video production during fall
quarter. They will learn how to use a
camcorder and how to edit VHS videotapes.
Bythe end of the quarter, groups of four or
five students will produce media works that
deal with gender issues in specific cultural
contexts.

In winter quarter, our focus will shift to
literature, but film viewing will continue. At
the beginning of the quarter, students will be
introduced to the major critical theories to
familiarize themselves with varied approaches
to literature; then, students will examine
representations of individuals, genders and
cultures in American and Japanese literature
through seminars and critical writings.
Credit awarded in psychology, gender studies,
Japanese culture, Japanese literature,
American culture, American literature, film
technology, film criticism, Japanese cinema
and American cinema.
Total: 16 credits each quarter.
Program is preparatory for careers and future
studies in psychology, gender studies, cultural
studies, film studies and humanities.

This is a two-quarter, upper-division group
contract to explore social work as both a social
movement and a helping profession.
During fall quarter, our focus is on the
philosophical and historical evolution of social
work from a social movement to a contemporary professional community practice.
During winter quarter we explore two
fundamental professional skills used by social
work practitioners: social work research
methods and social work counseling methods.
Both skills are examined from a generalist,
multicultural, interdisciplinary perspective.

South will be a yearlong advanced program in
the humanities, primarily history and
literature. It will cover the history and culture
of the Southern United States from the earliest
white settlements through the triumph of the
Civil Rights Movement. Fall quarter will take
this history through the Civil War. Winter
quarter will move from Reconstruction
through the Great Depression. Spring quarter
will cover the region from the beginnings of
the Civil Rights Movement to the present.
Topics to be explored in each quarter
include:
• Fall- settlement patterns; ethnic differences
among settlers; the Revolution in the South;
drafting the Constitution and the debate about
its acceptance; the development of slavery;
Indian removal; Jeffersonians and States
Rights; Jacksonianism and the Nullification
Crisis; pro-slavery and abolition; the causes of
the Civil War; the conduct of the Civil War;
why the South lost.
• Winter - the Reconstruction governments
in the various states; the policies of the Radical
Republican Congress; the Redeemer governments; the rise of "The New South";
crosscurrents in African American leadership;
the Populist Revolt; the creation of legal
segregation; the revival of the Ku Klux Klan;
the agrarian critique; the share-cropping
system; Southern Industrialism; the New Deal;
Southern Liberalism and Southern demagogy.
• Spring - the Emmett Till case; the
Montgomery Improvement Association; the
Citizens' Councils; SCLC and SNCC;
integrating the universities; white support for
integration; black militancy; the black
migration north; the Southern Strategy; the
rise of the Sunbelt.
Students will be expected to carry out
extensive library research and writing in
preparation for program-sponsored public
symposia on "The Peculiar Institution"; "The
Populist Revolt, the New South, and Jim
Crow"; and "The Great Depression." In
addition, students will write short research
papers for fall and winter (two for fall, three
for winter) and undertake an individual
project for spring for one third of that
quarter's work.

* indicates upper-division credit

There will be lectures and seminars each
week. Some seminars will be "issues
seminars," which will look at a specific
problem or issue. Others will be history
seminars. Adequate preparation for seminar
will require the student to choose a state to
investigate in preparation for the common
work. Typically, the students will represent
their states in discussions so that, for instance,
in discussions of Indian removal the situation
in Florida or Louisiana would be adequately
detailed. Students may wish to investigate and
represent a particular figure or person - a
delegate to the constitutional Convention, a
major historian, a key figure during the Civil
War. At least one seminar each week will
explore the development and elaboration of
Southern Literature.
Additionally, the program will have
monthly dinners to prepare and experience
Southern cooking and will have a weekly
video or film showing that will feature such
series as the Burns Civil War and the Eyes on
the Prize documentary about the Civil Rights
Movement.
Credit awarded in Southern history, Southern
literature, U.S. people of color, history of race
relations and civil rights.

Some have settled down. Some have fashioned
a life that is firmly grounded - in a home,
within a community, inside a long-term
relationship. They use the same tools, have a
deep know-ledge of place, and know their
neighbors and neighborhood. Their lives are a
radical rebuke to Western consumerist!
throwaway culture. When vagabond winds
blow, some bundle up and stay put.
What does it mean to be alive in an era
when the earth is being devoured, and in the
country that is mainly responsible for the
process? What are we called to do? What are
we up against, those of us who want to become
grounded in one place? How strong, how old,
is the impulse we are resisting? And if you stick
in one place, won't you become stuck - won't
you become narrow, dull, backwards? The
song of the open road is America's song, after
all; how can and why should anyone resist it?
How can we harness our restlessness?
This group contract is concerned with the
sense of staying put and with storytelling as it
is written or told in the landscape or place by
the people who live or lived there over time.
We will study writings on place by a diverse
group such as: Russell Sanders, whose book
names our program and animates our
approach; The Real Work: Interviews and
Talks 1964-1979, Gary Snyder; A Year in the
Country, Sue Hubbell; Dakota: A Spiritual
Biography, Kathleen Norris; The Wooing of
Earth, Rene Dubos; and writings by Wendell
Berry, Henry David Thoreau and Anne Dillard.
We will also look at the indigenous wisdom of
American Indians and Australian Aborigines.

We will begin genealogies, write weekly and
quarterly narrative nonfiction writings and
stories, and examine the role of the storyteller!
writer as social/cultural witness through
workshops, seminars, research and writing.
We all need to get good at looking at, listening
to and telling stories, our own and others.
Stories are our homes. "Finding a fitting place
for ourselves in the world is finding a place
for oneself in a story," as Jo Carson explains.
Credit awarded in American studies,
humanities, independent project, narrative
nonfiction writing, community studies and
literature.
Total: 16 credits.
Program is preparatory for careers and future
studies in community studies, community
work, cultural studies, law, teaching, writing,
media communication andNative American
studies.

Western psychology has so far failed to
provide us with a satisfactory understanding
of the full range of human experience. It has
largely overlooked the core of human
understanding - our everyday mind, our
immediate awareness of being with all of its
felt complexity and sensitive attunement to
the vast network of interconnectedness with
the universe around us. Instead it has chosen
to analyze the mind as though it were an
object independent of the analyzer, consisting
of hypothetical structures and mechanisms
that cannot be directly experienced. Western
psychology's neglect of the living mind both in its everyday dynamics and its larger
possibilities - has led to a tremendous
upsurge of interest in the ancient wisdom of
the East, particularly Buddhism, which does
not divorce the study of psychology from the
concern with wisdom and human liberation.
Eastern psychology shuns any impersonal
attempt to objectify human life from the
viewpoint of an external observer, instead
studying consciousness as a living reality that
shapes individual and collective perception
and action. The primary tool for directly
exploring the mind is meditation or mindfulness, an experiential process in which one
becomes an attentive participant-observer in
the unfolding of moment-to-moment
consciousness.
In this program, we will take a critical look
at the basic assumptions and tenets of the
major currents in traditional Western
psychology, the concept of mental illness and
the distinctions drawn between normal and
abnormal thought and behavior. We will then
investigate the Eastern study of mind that has
developed within spiritual traditions,
particularly within the Buddhist tradition. In
doing so, we will take special care to avoid the
common pitfall of most Western interpretations of Eastern thought - the attempt to fit
Eastern ideas and practices into unexamined
Western assumptions and traditional
intellectual categories.

Lastly, we will address the encounter between
Eastern and Western psychology as possibly
having important ramifications for the human
sciences in the future, potentially leading to
new perspectives on the whole range of
human experience and life concerns.
Credit will be awarded in personality theory,
abnormal psychology, Buddhist thought and
practice, Taoism, communication skills and
social psychology.
Total: 16 credits each quarter.
This program is preparatory for careers and
future study in psychology, counseling, social
work and religious studies.

User Friendly: Unmasking the
Communications Revolution

Whole and Holy: Alternative
Herstories of Healing

Fall, Winter, Spring/Group Contract
Faculty: Virginia Hill
Enrollment: 25
Prerequisites: Junior standing
Faculty Signature: No
Special Expenses: No
Part-Time Options: No
Internship Possibilities: Yes, spring quarter
Travel Component: None.
Many are celebrating the so-called communications revolution in which Americans have
been sometimes unwitting participants for
more than 40 years. In the inidst of those
celebrations of a wired world, instant access
and 500 channels of video enjoyment, it is
important to ask fundamental questions:
What difference does it make when many of
the images we see, the stories we enjoy and
the sounds we hear come not from life shared
with the people around us but from unknowable sources behind a screen or a stereo
speaker? What difference does it make when
those images, stories and sounds are shaped
not by natural communication processes in a
face-to-face community but by the instruments
of the communications revolution: television,
the computer, synthesized sound? What
difference does it make when these sources
make images, stories and sounds not to
express the human condition but to make
money or to garner political power? This
program will address questions such as these
as it examines the worldwide communications
revolution that has been underway since
television became widespread in the late
Fifties. The program will provide skill training
in basic reporting, as well as in visual image
making to help students appreciate how media
technologies shape communications. There
will be instruction on using the Internet,
including home page construction. We will
examine organizations that produce and
distribute mass communications to understand the impact of economics, management
and politics on the production of mass
communicated images, stories and sounds. In
spring quarter, students will do internships in
mass communications to experience concretely the processes and situations they
studied during fall and winter.

To heal: deriving from the same roots as the
words whole and holy. We intend to explore
healing as that which is whole and holy by
examining alternative herstories - forms of
healing involving body, mind, spirit and the
environment from so-called feminine perspectives. We will learn about the historical roots
of healing practices we use today, our division
of mainstream and alternative medicine and
the patriarchal and reductionist effects of this
division on physiology, emotional literacy, and
the evolution of the soul. In addition to books,
films, lectures and seminars, we will expect
each student: 1) to engage in an apprenticeship, community service-learning project or
internship and participatory or collaborative
research; 2) to go on a mid-winter retreat; and
3) to develop the discipline of a healing
practice (e.g., a martial art, nutritional plan,
exercise routine, herbalism, goddess worship,
healing tough, yoga, music, gardening or
apprenticeship with an indigenous healer).
Our studies will be concerned with the
contemporary resurrection of traditional
healing practices. From witches, midwives and
alchemists to their takeover by corporate
medicine men, we will examine the historical
contexts of healing versus curing. We will ask
ourselves, what does the resurrection of
traditional healing practices have to do with
the energetics of healing and the rise of
personal power out of tribal authority?
We want highly motivated, self-directed
students who are interested in, and capable of,
integrating intellectual work with personal
process. We want to develop a studentdirected learning community in which
experiential knowledges are put into conversation with academic scholarship.

Environmental Studies at Evergreen offers broadly interdisciplinary academic
studies within and across three distinctive thematic areas. In any year, each of the
three thematic areas will explore some of the specific topics listed in each
category.
(I}Human Communities and the Environment - addresses environmental
policy, ethics, and human relations with, and ways of thinking about, the natural
world. Includes community studies, political economy, geography, environmental
economics, environmental health, history and planning.
(II}Natural History - focuses on observation, identification and interpretation
of flora and fauna using scientific field methods as a primary approach to
learning how the natural world works. Includes ecology, ornithology, mammalogy, herpetology, entomology, botany and mycology with exploration of issues in
biodiversity.
(III}Environmental Sciences - deal primarily with the study of the underlying
mechanisms and structures of natural systems, both living and non-living.
Environmental sciences often involve significant laboratory and field work. They
include chemistry, biology, geology, hydrology, oceanography, climatology,
physiological ecology, evolutionary biology, forest ecology, biogeochemistry,
marine biology and oceanography.
Each of these three thematic areas will be consistently available in the
curriculum. Students wishing to focus on a particular theme will find program
offerings with substantial thematic content available every year. These three
themes, however, are not mutually exclusive, but overlap significantly. Programs
will be interdisciplinary between themes, as well as within a particular theme.
Students should also consider offerings in political economy, physical science and
mathematics, including but not limited to Political Economy and Social Change,
Introduction to Natural Science, Matter and Motion and Molecule to Organism.
Please note that if you intend to pursue graduate studies in environmental
studies or science, a minimum of one full year of undergraduate study in biology,
chemistry and statistics is strongly recommended. For some graduate programs
physics is also required. These subjects may also be prerequisites to some of the
upper-division science programs in all three of the thematic areas.
To aid you in making your program choices, the program descriptions in the
following pages list the significant content and credits in each of the three
thematic areas within Environmental Studies. Additionally, all environmental
Studies faculty, in their role as advisors, are well-equipped to help you determine
appropriate routes through the curriculum. The faculty, particularly the
Environmental Studies coordinator, will also be aware of changes and additions
to the Catalog that occur because of the two-year lag between the creation of the
Catalog and the actual offerings.
In your planning it is important to realize that program titles and content
change from year to year. Every year we offer one or two Introduction to
Environmental Studies programs intended for second-year and transfer students
and open to well-prepared first-year students. Every year a marine environments
program is offered. Introductory programs in geology are taught in alternate
years, rotating with more advanced topics in geology. Ecological agriculture is
offered on an alternate year basis, rotating with Community Development or
Working in Development. The Temperate Rainforest and Tropical Rainforest
programs are offered on an alternate basis with programs focused on the Pacific
Northwest. Ornithology is another program that happens every other year. Each
year one or more one-time programs are offered so it is important to seek help in
selecting the optimum sequence of offerings that meets your needs.

Fall/Coordinated Study
Faculty: James Stroh, Rob Cole, David Milne
Enrollment: 72
Prerequisites: This all-level program accepts
up to 25 percent first-year students. Students
must have high school algebra and strong
math skills.
Faculty Signature: No
Special Expenses: Travel and lodging for
overnight field trip and expenses for maps and
texts ($100-$300).
Part-Time Options: No
Internship Possibilities: No
Travel Component: Overnight field trip to the
Long Beach Peninsula during the fifth or
seventh week of the program.
The class will focus on selected fundamentals
of marine biology, quantitative analysis, use of
spatial data (particularly map information)
and techniques for field studies. The students
will use these principles and tools in a study of
Willapa Bay, located in Southwest Washington. Several conflicting uses of the environment and invasions by exotic species make
Willapa Bay a particularly interesting study
site. Program participants will apply principles
of geology, marine biology and modeling
through simulation to the Willapa Bay estuary
and associated uplands. We will have guest
speakers discuss policy issues, but this is
predominantly a science program.
This very intensive lO-week program of
study will include lectures, seminars, labs
(including extensive computer use), field trips,
literature research seminars and workshops.
This class will require many hours of work
outside the formal class schedule, especially
field, lab and computer time.

Mt. Rainier National Park contains the
highest mountain in Washington state and one
of the most magnificent alpine and sub-alpine
environments in North America. Its centennial
year is a chance to recognize its value as a
park and produces an opportunity for the
public to contribute in shaping the future of
the park. National parks face an increasingly
daunting task of maintaining ecosystem
integrity while providing a retreat for humans
through an access infrastructure that is
expected to accommodate a constantly
increasing number of visitors. Visitor safety, as
well as the aesthetics and fragile ecosystems of
the park, are being jeopardized by inadequate
funding. This program will focus on the
physical, social and biological aspects of the
ecosystems of Mt. Rainier National Park and
the impact of both heavy use and park policy
on these systems. Mt. Rainier National Park
was chosen because of proximity, range of
ecosystems, unique hydrologic and geologic
environment, recent concerns about potential
geologic hazards associated with the mountain
and changes in management and park policy.
Both quantitative problem solving and writing
will be stressed, with writing assignments
ranging from field journals to research papers.
Service learning will also be an integral
component of this program.

Fall quarter will introduce students to
forest biology, physical geology, political
science and legal research. Comparisons will
be made between the legal definition and
management of various federally administered
public lands, including forest service
wilderness areas, national monuments,
national forests and national parks. The focus
during winter quarter will be geologic
hazards, environmental geology, disturbance
ecology, human communities and human
ecology. These topics address the impact that
humans have on the park and the impact, or
potential impact, of the park on human
communities. Spring quarter will introduce
nutrient cycles, aqueous chemistry and
geochemistry, and allow students the
opportunity to work on team research
projects that focus on Mt. Rainier and its
environs.
Credit awarded in political science, social
science field research, forest ecology, botany,
physical geology, environmental geology and
aqueous chemistry:
Total: 16 credits each quarter.
Program is preparatory for careers and future
studies in environmental studies, natural
resource management and public policy.

Many wild salmon stocks in the Pacific
Northwest are on the brink of extinction. This
program examines this critical resource issue
in terms of policy making and salmon biology.
The fate of the salmon has been determined
by international, federal, state and tribal
policies. We will begin the quarter by learning
about the factors that have contributed to the
decline of salmon such as land-use practices,
water uses, fish harvest, hatcheries and other
practices and policies. This program will then
examine the multiple levels of policy making
and what has actually been implemented to
attempt to save the salmon. We will pay
particular attention to the importance of
treaty rights of American Indians in the Pacific
Northwest and co-management of salmon.
New approaches to salmon habitat issues such
as watershed planning will also be examined.
We will ask whether these approaches are
based on sound ecological principles and offer
reasonable hope for salmon recovery.

What are ecologically sound homes and
workplaces for real, present-day human
beings? We will pursue this question by
combining large visions with solid foundational knowledge.
The heart of the program is designing:
homes and workplaces must be imagined
before they can be built. A yearlong design
studio will teach relevant skills and knowledge
through a series of small and large projects.
For some students, this may mean
participating in the design of specific realworld buildings, such as Evergreen's new
Seminar II classroom building, an appropriate-technology house at the college's Organic
Farm, a possible expansion of Housing or a
youth hostel for downtown Olympia. We are
arranging the program to make this involvement easy and productive.
Other students may focus more on off-grid
living, Third World needs, waste management,
energy, alternative materials such as straw,
earth or recycled tires, the technological
visions of people like Buckminister Fuller or
Amory Lovins, the whole systems understanding of Lynn Margulis and others, or the social
visions of Boston's Dudley Street Project.
As vital background to designing, students
and faculty will do readings, lectures,
seminars, library research and site visits on
two major themes: human needs, wants and
hopes; and nature's processes, within which
human life must take place.
Both students and faculty will develop their
facility in graphics, structural and environmental analysis, modeling, literature searching
on and off-line, group problem solving and
effective writing.

This program actively seeks students from a
variety of levels, backgrounds and interests.
The problems of ecological design are too big
to be solved or even understood by anyone
kind of person. Be ready to participate
energetically, to learn from fellow students as
well as faculty, to share skills and insights
generously. Some program activities will be
organized according to level; others will be
shared by all.
Credit awarded in design studio, natural
science, humanities and social science. Upperdivision credits will depend on student
background and performance.
Total: 16 credits each quarter.
Program is preparatory for careers and future
studies in design professions, environmental
studies, community development, social
science, humanities and natural science.
This program is also listed under First-Year
Programs, Expressive Arts, and Scientific
Inquiry.

parasitic associations. Defining aspects of
plant-animal, animal-animal, bacteria-plant,
bacteria-animal, protozoa-animal and fungiplant symbioses will be examined at the
organismal, physiological, cellular, biochemical, molecular and ecological levels. Characteristics that define the integration between
the host and symbiont of specific associations
will be investigated through fieldwork and in
the laboratory. Students will complete a takehome examination, keep a lab notebook and
undertake a small research project that
culminates in a poster with a short oral
presentation.

Botanical knowledge is developed within a
cultural context as is any scientific discipline.
This program will focus on cultural dimensions of plant science as practiced between
roughly the 13th and 17th centuries in
Western Europe. During this time period, the
study of plants revolved around medicinal
uses. Herbals served as the primary texts. Part
of our study will be on old herbals including
aesthetics and plant taxonomy. We will also
spend some time on herb gardens and their
design. Other topics include trends during this
time period toward the professionalization of
medicine and the impacts of this on plant folk
knowledge and rural practitioners of herbal
medicine. Issues of gender will factor into our
explora tions of this professionaliza tion as well
as changing attitudes about the environment.
We will spend time exploring different
world views or paradigms held during this
period in history. We will also attempt to
make connections to contemporary trends in
health care. Some time will be spent on plant
uses and identification skills, however this will
not be the primary focus of the class. The
focal point will be exploring the roots of
western botany as an ethnobotany, richly
linked to a web of cultural influences. This
course will be rigorous, requiring copious
amount of reading and research papers
written in an expository style. Willingness to
be a co-learner within a community doing
research in this area of study is essential.
Credit awarded in history of plant science",
gender and science" and ethnobotany".
Total: 16 credits.

The Expressive Arts planning unit is primarily concerned with helping students gain skills and
experience in the arts with a very deliberate focus on the interplay of theory and practice. In many
programs, students have the opportunity to work in more than one art form simultaneously and with
collaborative and crossdisciplinary approaches to learning. Program themes are drawn from current
aesthetic and ideological interests of the faculty and vary widely from year to year, ensuring that the
faculty and curriculum remain vital and relevant. Students should be aware that sequential skills
training is not available in most of the arts but a hands-on approach is taken in every program that
has Expressive Arts faculty as members of the teaching team. Expressive Arts offerings usually
include work in the performing arts (theater, music and dance), media arts, visual arts and creative
writing. In all of these contexts, we are working to create a learning environment that supports a
strong multicultural perspective.
The Expressive Arts faculty are committed to the importance of creative work as a central element
in liberal arts education. The skills acquired in Expressive Arts programs will contribute to the work
students undertake in future academic programs as well as professionally. However, the faculty feel
it is vital for students primarily interested in the arts to have a broad range of other academic
experiences and often require academic work outside of the area for admission to certain arts
programs. Students should not expect to do all their undergraduate work within the Expressive Arts.
They are encouraged to move into and out of the area, taking advantage of study opportunities in
other planning areas at Evergreen. While studying in the Expressive Arts, students are also encouraged to work in more than one of the arts areas and to consider undertaking multimedia, collaborative projects with other students.
Offerings in the Expressive Arts include annual entry-level programs in media arts (Mediaworks),
performing arts (Performing Arts and Culture and Theater Intensive) and visual arts (Foundations of
Visual Arts). These programs are designed to provide an introduction to and theoretical foundation
for work in one or more arts disciplines. Because of high student demand, enrollment in some of
these programs requires the completion of a written application or a portfolio review. Crossdivisional programs that examine several media and are theme-based are also typical. In addition,
the area offers some junior- and senior-level programs where students refine particular skills or create
new work in a specialized setting.
Students will not be admitted to entry-level programs in visual arts, media or theater or advanced
group contracts in the Expressive Arts if they have not completed at least one year of full-time,
interdisciplinary work in a coordinated studies program outside of the arts. Exceptions may be made
for some transfer students whose academic record demonstrates broad training in the humanities,
social sciences or sciences.
Individual contracts and senior thesis projects allow students to do work that suits their own
particular needs and abilities. For both these options, eligibility requirements include a minimum of
three quarters prior experience in the Expressive Arts. Students wishing to do either contracted
individual study or a senior thesis in the arts should check with Expressive Arts faculty members
about these requirements before submitting proposals. Faculty are also available to support Student
Originated Studies contracts for advanced, upper-division students. Students may also enroll in skilldevelopment modules designed to supplement work in programs and group contracts. Finally,
internship possibilities are available for preprofessional work experience.
The senior thesis project in the Expressive Arts is a competitive program involving the production
of senior-level work in one or more media; participating students are advised by a thesis committee
comprised of three faculty or staff. Each spring students may submit proposals; these are reviewed by
the Expressive Arts faculty and successful projects are supported by a small stipend.

Advanced Work in FilmNideo: Independent contracts in film/video are available on a
limited basis to students who are ready for
advanced work in film/video production,
history and theory. Independent contract
projects might involve production of a film,
video or mixed-media piece; writing a script
or screenplay; or research on media history or
theory. To do an independent contract,
students must be at the junior or senior level
and must demonstrate a solid theoretical and
technical background in film and video
production, history and theory. This
background should be developed through
work in programs, courses and modules
equivalent to a concentration. Students must
have at least three quarters' prior experience
in the expressive arts or expect to have taken

and successfully completed an entry-level film
and video program such as Mediaworks.
Transfer students who have spent a year in
coordinated studies may also plan independent contracts if they have at least one year of
intensive course work in media production
and theory from their former institution.
Students may not use independent contracts
to learn basic production skills that are taught
in full-time programs, courses or modules.
Portfolio for Visual Arts: The following
items should be included in the portfolio
students submit when seeking entrance into
an advanced program in the visual arts: (1) At
least six examples from a body of work that
examines a particular theme or topic. The
theme may be explored using a single medium
or through the use of several different two-

dimensional and three-dimensional media.
Slides, photographs and actual pieces may be
included, (2) Students who have worked in a
variety of media should include examples from
each, demonstrating the range of diverse skills
that they have developed, (3) Several examples
of written work. Assigned papers, creative
writing and/or self-evaluations would serve
this purpose. These materials should be
contained in an easily portable portfolio. They
should be arranged in a coherent sequence
based on one of the following factors:
chronology, medium, theme or the sequences
of programs in which the work was completed. Students should contact the relevant
faculty or the Academic Advising Office for
information concerning the times and places
for submission of portfolios.

Building Character
Fall, Winter/Group Contract
Faculty: Ruth Hayes
Enrollment: 25
Prerequisites: Sophomore standing with two
quarters experience in Expressive Arts or
equivalent. Previous animation or drawing
experience is not necessary but work in
interdisciplinary studies involving humanities,
social sciences or sciences is strongly
preferred.
Faculty signature: Yes. Students must
complete a written application describing
previous experience in interdisciplinary studies
and arts. The application will be available in
April, 1999 from Academic Advising or the
program secretary.
Special Expenses: $150 for art/media
materials.
Part-Time Options: No
Internship Possibilities: No
Travel Component: None
Cartoon character animation is the best
known genre of animation. It is a staple of
children's entertainment and has recently
regained a presence in adult popular culture
not seen since the 1950s. However, noncartoon genres of character animation also
exist and may provide clues as to how one
may caricature personalities without resorting
to degrading or cliched stereotypes. In this
two-quarter group contract, students with art,
animation, performance and/or media
experience will explore the arts and industry
of both traditional and nontraditional forms
of character animation. These studies will
include the social, economic and political
conditions affecting animation production and
aesthetics. From this work students will
develop their own approaches to expressing
character for individually and collaboratively
produced animated film or video.
Students will learn character animation
production skills and techniques through
extensive drawing assignments, workshops in
acting, mime or puppetry and animation
design problems in various media. As
animation is an inherently interdisciplinary art
form, we will investigate character-centered
works from the visual and performing arts,
literature and live-action cinema through
readings, lectures and screenings. Students will
also research and write critiques of character
studies from these different disciplines.

Cartoons offer laughter, escape and
sometimes guilty pleasure. In the guise of
entertainment, they may propagandize,
advertise products, exploit audience alienation
or articulate resistance against dominant
culture. We will analyze these various
functions of animated works in the context of
the cultures from which they spring and the
audiences for whom they are produced. We
will pay special attention to the political
implications of representions based on ethnic,
class, gender or other stereotypes and work to
express character in more innovative and
creative ways.
Credit awarded in introduction to character
animation, history of animation, animation
theory and analysis, drawing, writing for
animation.
Total: 16 credits each quarter.
Program is preparatory for careers and future
studies in arts, animation, media, visual and
performing arts, communications and
humanities.

Dance and Culture
Winter, Spring/Group Contract
Faculty: Ratna Roy
Enrollment: 25
Prerequisites: Junior standing; previous study
in performing arts or equivalent.
Faculty Signature: No
SpecialExpenses: Performance and workshop
tickets in winter; $2,500 for travel to India in
the spring.
Part-time Options: No
Internship Possibilities: Yes
Travel Component: Travel to India for
ethnographic fieldwork.
The program will study the anthropology of
dance as an academic branch of learning and
the value of approaching the study of culture
through one of humankind's basic activities:
dance. Although the art form of dance has
been too often maligned and trivialized in
Euro-American culture, it has been, in most of
the world throughout most of history, a
powerful force in the life of the human
community. In the fall, we will examine how
one looks at and defines dance in ways that
respect its place in its own culture; we will
also study specific forms from several different
cultures. In addition to theoretical readings,
there will be workshops by guest artists in
different forms of dance. Students will select
one dance form to examine in greater depth.
The emphasis will be on reading, writing,
understanding of ethnographic work and
research rather than studio work in the winter.
In the spring, we will go to India, live with
dancers and complete a piece of ethnographic
writing. It is not necessary to be a dancer to
enroll in this program.
Credit will be awarded in dance history,
cultural studies, ethnographic writing and
performance studies.
Total: Winter, 8 credits; spring, 16 credits.
Winter quarter students have the option of
taking any dance course they want for 8
credits. Ratna Roy will teach two 4 credit
courses in Part-Time Studies: Hindi Language
and Orissi: Intermediate and Performance
Dance. Students intending to go to India are
encouraged to take the Hindi course.
Program is preparatory for careers in dance,
performance studies, anthropology, history,
cultural studies and education.

The winds of change currently blowing in
China are affecting cultural traditions that are
amazingly old and well-preserved. Our goal
during fall term will be to become familiar
with the basic components of Chinese culture:
history, philosophy, literature and performing
arts. In addition, small groups will pursue
areas of special interest and present their
research to the program, expanding our
survey.
East, west, south and north of the "Middle
Kingdom," accounts and aspects of Chinese
culture have spread around the globe, growing
and hybridizing with other cultures. During
winter quarter, we will examine the global
impact of Chinese culture, from its profound
role in neighboring nations for many
centuries, through stories by European and
American travelers, to contemporary works
by Chinese American composers and
playwrights who examine the character of
Chinese culture through postmodern eyes and
ears. Again, student groups will pursue special
studies and present their work. Together we
will gain a crucial understanding of the most
populous culture on earth.

This theater intensive program will prepare
participants to undertake more-advanced,
interdisciplinary and experimental studies of
theater. Students will explore the practical and
theoretical aspects of contemporary professional theater in this country, focusing on the
Euro-Arnerican theatrical tradition. Theater
will be studied as a laboratory of the human

Mediaworks is the entry-level program in film
and video production, history and theory. Our
focus is on the nonfiction image, a broad
category that includes documentary, experimental film, installation, video art, autobiography and mixed-genre work. In Mediaworks,
as in all moving image programs at Evergreen,
we stress the linkage of theory and practice,
analyze the politics of representation and
work to support each student's development
of a critical perspective on image-making.
Mediaworks is a flexible program that
responds to current issues in production and
theory. In 1999-2000 our focus will include
both documentary and experimental film and
video. In addition to studying film, video,
television and audio production, students will
make installations and experiment with
performance techniques. Themes and genres
explored will include: experimental video and
the linkages between art and video movements, autobiography, documentary, activist
and community-based film and video, feminist
theory and practice, and alternative representations of race, class, gender and sexual
orientation in film and video.
In fall and winter, students will acquire
production skills and produce short projects

Spring/Group Contract
Faculty: Doranne Crable
Enrollment: 20
Prerequisites: Junior or senior standing. All
students must have completed a full coordinated studies program in the arts or humanities
or equivalent.
Faculty Signature: Yes. Interview and portfolio

Part-Time Options: No
Internship Possibilities: No
Travel Component: None
Poetry, movement and the mask have longstanding importance in the creative and
spiritual traditions of many cultures. It has been
observed by many people that our most
profoundly moving and learning experiences
elicit expressions in silence, motion and "nonrational" sound. This is what we will explore
for a quarter.
This multifocused program integrates the
study of poetry, mask-making, performance and
Laban-based movement. Poetry will be selected
from both Western and non-Western sources,
providing the foundation on which we will
build verbal and nonverbal expression through
performance. We will consider the mask,
historically and creatively, as an expression of
poetic metaphors in various cultural contexts;
we will explore Laban-based movement as the
vehicle that integrates poetry and mask.
Workshop components will focus on creating
minimalist poetic images and simple masks.
Although no previous choreographed movement, creative writing or 3-D visual arts
training is required, it is essential that participants have experienced collaborative work,
studies in literature, and introductory performance theory and practice.
Among the poetry we will consider are 10th
and 11th century Japanese tankas; songlines
from indigenous communities in several
cultures; American poets; sacred invocations to
deities and "enlightened" human beings; and
lyrics to contemporary and non-contemporary
songs in various languages. We will concentrate
on the rhythms, phrasing and spatial harmonies
of sound and motion through intensive
workshops in Laban movement, adding the
voice-as-accompanying-or-imitating instrument.
inner-dialogue work, "drawing from the
landscape" exercises, meditation, observation
exercises and listening explorations will
constitute our skills development activities.
Assigned poetry will provide the focus for the
skills development. Collaboratively designed
performances will occur throughout the
quarter, in both in-house and public venues,
culminating in three evenings of performance at
the end of the quarter, either on the campus or
in a theater in the wider community.

Guest artists and performers will facilitate
workshops and interactive training in the first
half of the quarter, offering insights and
experiences in mask-making, stilt-building,
instrument making, non-Laban movement and
poetry.
A book list will be available at the
Academic Fair, May 12, 1999.
Credit awarded in Laban movement (effort,
space harmony and fundamentals), cultural
studies in the mask and individual skills in
performative/technical theater).
Total: 12 credits.
Program is preparatory for careers and future
studies in arts and humanities.

The Caribbean and Brazil have a rich and
varied history of performing arts, set in a
context of economic tension, colonialism and
slavery. In this program we will use approaches from the fields of ethnomusicology
and ethnochoreology (the study of culture
through music and dance, respectively) to
explore some of the dynamics of culture and
power in the diaspora. We will also examine
the historical events that led to the development of samba in Brazil; the spiritual and
musical links between Haitian Vodou, Cuban
Santeria, Brazilian Candomblo and their
sources; and important social and ritual
connections in dance and movement. This
program is not for the academically faint of
heart; we expect students to commit to a
significant reading load and to dedicate
themselves to active, hands-on rehearsals of
dance and music. In addition, each student
will write a lO-page research essay on any
aspect of the performing arts in the diaspora,
and participate in a three-day intensive
performance retreat.
Credit will be awarded in ethnomusicology,
dance and culture, music and dance of the
Caribbean and music and dance of Brazil.

What are ecologically sound homes and
workplaces for real, present-day human
beings.We will pursue this question by
combining large visions with solid foundational knowledge.
The heart of the program is designing:
homes and workplaces must be imagined
before they can be built. A yearlong design
studio will teach relevant skills and knowledge
through a series of small and large projects.
For some students, this may mean
participating in the design of specific realworld buildings, such as Evergreen's new
Seminar II classroom building, an appropriate-technology house at the college's Organic
Farm, a possible expansion of Housing or a
youth hostel for downtown Olympia. We are
arranging the program to make this involvement easy and productive.
Other students may focus more on off-grid
living;Third World needs, waste management,
energy,alternative materials such as straw,
earth or recycled tires, the technological
visions of people like Buckminister Fuller or
Amory Lovins, the whole systems understanding of Lynn Margulis and others, or the social
visions of Boston's Dudley Street Project.
As vital background to designing, students
and faculty will do readings, lectures,
seminars, library research and site visits on
two major themes: human needs, wants and
hopes; and nature's processes, within which
human life must take place.
Both students and faculty will develop their
facility in graphics, structural and environmental analysis, modeling, literature searching
on and off-line, group problem solving and
effectivewriting.

This program actively seeks students from a
variety of levels, backgrounds and interests.
The problems of ecological design are too big
to be solved or even understood by anyone
kind of person. Be ready to participate
energetically, to learn from fellow students as
well as faculty, to share skills and insights
generously. Some program activities will be
organized according to level; others will be
shared by all.
Credit awarded in design studio, natural
science, humanities and social science. Upperdivision credits will depend on student
background and performance.
Total: 16 credits each quarter.
Program is preparatory for careers and future
studies in design professions, environmental
studies, community development, social
science, humanities and natural science.
This program is also listed under First-Year
Programs, Environmental Studies and
Scientific Inquiry.

SOS: Media is for junior or senior students
only. Students are invited to design their own
small group contracts in aspects of media
production, design, writing, history or theory
and to collaborate with media faculty in three
different versions of the program during the
1999-2000 academic year. SOS groups could
be organized around a collaborative production, a theme, a critique group, etc. Successful
groups in the past have involved a one-quarter
experimental television production group, an
animation critique group, a senior film
collective and a screenwriting group.
To be considered, you must have completed
at least one quarter of Evergreen program
work. This is not the place to do beginning
studies in media. It should be seen as an
opportunity for students who share similar
skills and common interests to do advanced
work that may have grown out of previous
academic projects and programs. Remember,
this is not a class that you just sign up for
(although you will register in SOS with a
faculty member's signature), you must gather a
group of like-minded students and design the
class yourselves with help from the faculty
sponsor.
To be considered for this advanced program
you should have also successfully completed
Mediaworks (the entry-level program in media
studies at Evergreen, see page 83) or its
equivalent (i.e., approximately a year of media
skill training, media history and media theory)
and have a portfolio that contains copies of
recent faculty evaluations, a sample of your
writing and a VHS tape with two examples of
your best work in film or video.

Student Originated Studies is a place in the
curriculum where groups of students may
make their own program of study. It differs in
this important way from Individual Learning
Contracts: It is not an aggregation of
individual contracts. The process of forming a
group of advanced students and "organically"
developing an academic program is challenging and time-consuming. It is excellent
preparation for the kind of support groups
artists form after leaving the structure of
academic life.
Groups of students will develop, design and
submit plans for each quarter. The group must
involve no more than six students and no
fewer than four. The submitted proposal must
include: a program description and a goals
statement; ten weekly schedules with activities
such as reading lists, seminar/discussions,
critique, visitors, studio time, field trips, etc.,
including meeting times and places; a rough
draft of a covenant describing the shared
responsibilities and obligations that is signed
by all students in the group (with addresses
and phone numbers); a description of and
schedule for the mid-quarter and end-ofquarter peer evaluation process; and
adherence to the deadlines of the planning
process.
Submit plans for fall quarter to Marilyn
Frasca (Lab I) by the end of the fifth week,
April 30, 1999. Submit plans for winter
quarter to Joe Feddersen by the end of the
fifth week of fall quarter, October 29, 1999.

Northwest and other parts of the world. They
support a complex and interconnected web of
life that encompasses a tremendous diversity
of biota, including humans. In Temperate
Rainforests, we will learn about ways of
understanding these ecosystems using a variety
of contemporary approaches in ecology and
natural history and drawing. Our focus will be
on the ecology and aesthetics of rainforests of
the Olympic Peninsula. We will also examine
how temperate rainforests have been
understood through art, particularly of the
native cultures of the forest. We will make our
own images expressing our understanding of
and relationships to the forest. Students will
undertake an independent study project that
combines science and art. The program will go
on an extended field trip to the Olympics to
study biological and aesthetic aspects of
temperate rainforests.

This program will focus on tropical forests
from both scientific and artistic perspectives.
Tropical ecosystems are home to most of the
world's biodiversity, and our understanding of
the origins and maintenance of this diversity
relies on principles of community ecology,
evolution and biogeography. At the same time,
images oftropical rainforests have been a
powerful inspiration for artistic expression,
and aesthetic concerns are strong motivations
for conserving tropical forests. The program is
designed for advanced science students and
requires no previous experience in the arts.
Skill-building will include technical scientific
writing, quantitative analysis of diversity data,
drawing, scientific illustration and visual
literacy. This program is a successor to
Temperate Rainforests, although Temperate
Rainforests is not a prerequisite. Faculty will
lead an approximately three-week-long field
trip to Costa Rica at the end of the quarter,
with an enrollment limit of 24. Students who
cannot go on the field trip will carry out
independent activities on campus. Admission

This one-quarter group contract will examine
milestones in the history of the 20th century's
most influential art form: the movies.
Beginning with the origins of the apparatus of
cinema, we will examine the cultural and
historical context of each decade of the last

transformed by social events, aesthetics,
economics and the force of individual
personality. We will focus our work primarily
on the film director, studying a film by an
influential director each week. Program
activities will include screenings of feature
films and short oppositional works, lectures
on cinema history, seminars and study group
meetings.
Of course, we will also be concerned with
the acquisition of a critical perspective on
film. To this end, students will be expected to

quarter-long research project on a 20th
century film director. The quarter will
conclude with a symposium at which time
students will lecture on their director and
present a film of their choice to the entire
program. (Note: prospective students will
need to arrange their schedules to attend class
every day and evening for the final week of
spring quarter). In addition, students will
complete biweekly projects in film studies
including storyboards, single frame analysis
and character sketches. Students will also
make oral presentations on 20th century
social history.
Weekly readings will include excerpts from
a history of the 20th century, a film history
text (such as Gerald Mast's A Short History of
the Movies), and texts that speak to the

"MUSIC"
The art of preserving relationships against
their content.
"IS TO BE"
Not "What has been," nor "What is," but
what is not yet, and so needs us to become it.
"NOW"
Neither bygone nor anticipated glories, but an
alluring trepidation with the intensity of "Hie
Rhodus, hie salta!"
"EXPERIMENTAL"
Not yet supported by existing facts and truths.
"WHAT"
The result of our makings, thinkings,
resistings, passions and becomings: what is
not yet is to be our "what."
We will read about, listen to, talk around,
compose toward and perform experiments in
musical composition. We will listen to lots of
compositions written in the past 40 years and
discuss the contexts in which those pieces
were once experimental and whether they

Now, at the end of the 20th century, when
capitalism boasts of its triumph, what must
art be so that it resists the appeal of its
commodification?
Readings on related subjects in contemporary music history and aesthetics will be
drawn from the works of Roland Barthes,
Walter Benjamin, Theodor Adorno, Jacques
Attali, Susan Buck-Morss and others.
Class meetings will be divided into lectures,
seminars, listening sessions, rehearsals and

Science and technology play an important role in modern America. It is essential
that citizens be scientifically informed in order to make responsible decisions, and
that scientists be broadly trained in the liberal arts to contribute responsibly to
social issues.
The Scientific Inquiry area aims to teach students to think like scientists; that is,
to collect and evaluate data, to employ theory, to do quantitative modeling and to
use appropriate instruments and technology. This approach is embodied in the
study of different scientific domains, including the physical sciences, mathematics,
computing and laboratory biology. These subjects are studied in several ways: for
their own sake, for their applications in terms of the philosophical issues they raise,
and for their place in society.
Programs offered by faculty from this area will be useful to those interested in
careers or future work in science, those interested in applying science in selected
technical areas, as well as those interested in understanding more about science by
doing science as part of their general liberal arts education. Students from this area
go on to graduate study in a variety of scientific or related areas, enroll in medical
school and work in careers requiring scientific, mathematical or computing
background. High-quality introductory and advanced study provides students with
a foundation (in theory and practice) that can enable them to be part of the
conversation in these fields, as informed listeners able to effectively communicate
the processes and results of scientific inquiry in speech and writing.

What is energy? Are neutrinos and quarks
real? Are we learning about preexisting
objective facts (truth) or are our experimental
results solely the products of our theories? We
will explore these questions by examining
important ideas from physics, mathematics,
and philosophy. Although we will find many
strange and provocative answers, our goal will
be to learn to ask even more sophisticated
questions about "nature" and "reality."
We will use our eyes, binoculars and
telescopes to examine the sun and the night
sky, so we'll need to meet one night each week
on average. We will study cultural beliefs and
compare these with the facts and speculations
in modern astrophysics.
Evergreen has several telescopes that we
will use, but each student must own binoculars. We will use the Web to access observations from telescopes around the world.
Students must subscribe to three journalsAstronomy, Science News and the American
Journal of Physics. These journals will be used
in weekly discussions and student presentations about recent developments in astronomy
and modern physics. Attendance at seminars,
labs and presentations is required for all
students.

Upper-division credit is possible for all
portions of the program except the five-credit
Introductory Astronomy module in the fall.
Upper-division credit will be awarded only for
upper-division performance. The fall quarter
Astronomy module is required for those
enrolled in this program, but is open as a
separate module to sophomores or above. It
will meet one or two nights each week.
Students who have prior credits in Astronomy
will be able to obtain upper-division credit in
this portion of the program as well as all of
the others.
Credit awarded in astronomy, modern
physics, special and general relativity,
electromagnetism, scientific research and
philosophy of science. Upper-division science
credits are possible contingent on performance.
Total: 5 or 16 credits each quarter.
Program is preparatory for careers and future
studies in science or mathematics, especially
physics, engineering, astronomy or philosophy. The program fulfills many (but not all) of
the requirements for the state endorsement in
physics teaching.

Introduction to Natural Science

Mathematical Systems

Matter and Motion

Fall, Winter, Spring/Coordinated Study
Faculty: Burton Guttman, TBA, TBA
Enrollment: 75
Prerequisites: Sophomore standing; high
school algebra. Other high school science
recommended.
Faculty Signature: No
Special Expenses: No
Part-Time Options: No
Internship Possibilities: No
Travel Component: None
Introduction to Natural Science will cover
topics from physics, chemistry and biology.
We will develop these topics partially in a
historical context by reading about the
development of scientific thought from
ancient civilizations through the birth of
modern science, and we will read about the
work of contemporary scientists to develop a
conception of science as a human activity. Our
concern for the human dimensions of science
will place a lot of emphasis on developing
ways of thinking and methods of analysis. For
this reason, students should not expect a
traditional comprehensive coverage of topics
in each science, but we will develop a strong
preparation for further study, particularly in
biology and the environmental sciences.
The work week will entail a few lectures, a
seminar and a regular series of laboratories;
much of the time will be spent in workshops
where students are expected to work together
to solve problems and develop concepts for
themselves. We expect dedication to the ideals
of the college, especially personal involvement, personal responsibility and learning
through active, cooperative discussion. The
program will demand a lot of time and hard
work; students who are unable to commit
themselves wholeheartedly to their studies
should not enroll.
Introduction to Natural Science is the
standard entry program into the natural
sciences, especially for students interested in
biology and those who do not want the more
intensive concentration on calculus, physics
and chemistry offered by Matter and Motion.
Students need have only basic facility with
high school mathematics, and we expect to
offer two or three levels of mathematics
instruction to fit student mathematical
abilities.

Fall, Winter, Spring/Group Contract
Faculty: Hazel Jo Reed
Enrollment: 25
Prerequisites: Junior or senior standing; one
year of calculus.
Faculty signature: No
Special expenses: No
Part-Time Options: With permission of
instructor.
Internship Possibilities: No
Travel Component: None
This contract is a yearlong, intensive study of
several fundamental areas of pure mathematics, including a nucleus of advanced calculus,
geometry, abstract algebra and topology. We
will also consider such questions as: Are
mathematical systems discovered or created?
Why does a particular culture allow some
systems to flourish while ignoring others?
What are some of the ramifications of
embracing one model instead of another?
Why are there so few ranking women
mathematicians?
The contract is designed for people
intending to pursue studies or teach in
mathematics and the sciences, and for those
who want to know more about mathematical
thinking. We will look at the historical
contexts of mathematical and scientific events
to help us understand how mathematical ideas
are discovered. We will develop skills not only
in handling mathematical syntax, but also in
the crucial area of reading and writing
rigorous proofs in axiomatic systems.
Students may enroll in individual modules
or the entire constellation of activities. If you
have any questions about the appropriateness
of your background for the various segments,
consult the instructor.

motivated student preparing to do advanced
work in the physical and biological sciences.
The program is strongly recommended for all
pre-med students. Students will all learn
computer applications and work in the
chemistry and physics laboratory. There will
be small-group workshops and seminars plus
whole-group lectures in chemistry, physics and
calculus. Guest lecturers will introduce special
topics.
A central feature of the program will be the
use of important topical issues as a basis for
learning the science. We will spend about three
weeks on each topic, focusing on issues such
as: What should we do about global warming?
What's all the fuss about fat? Airbags?
Biomass conversion? Why does the ozone hole
form in the Antarctic spring? What happens to
acid rain? We will explore the science and the
social issues with these topics and students will
do presentations, conduct mock hearings and
do scientific poster sessions to develop their
speaking and analytical skills. We anticipate
that students in Introduction to Natural
Science may be exploring many of these same
topics and we may sometimes share chemistry
lectures and guest speakers.

Molecule to Organism

Science of Mind

Fall, Winter, Spring/Coordinated Study
Faculty: Clyde Barlow, Jeff Kelly, Elizabeth
Kutter, Julio Soto
Enrollment: 75
Prerequisites: Junior or senior standing; oneyear of college chemistry, biology and algebra.
Faculty Signature: No
Special Expenses: $50 for program retreats.
Part-Time Options: Yes
Internship Possibilities: Yes
Travel Component: Overnight, in-state
retreats.
Molecule to Organism develops a view of
biological systems that integrates the
molecular basis of biology with more complex
structure-function relationships, examining
key topics in traditional biology and premedical curricula. We will put particular emphasis
on aspects of biochemistry and microbiology
that are most relevant to current environmental and health issues. The experimental basis of
our rapidly growing knowledge in these fields
will be emphasized, as well as the use of
scientific literature. Laboratories will playa
major role in the program and will explore
microbiology, enzymology, nucleic acid
chemistry and molecular genetics, as well as
special projects.
Molecule to Organism is Evergreen's
introduction to experimental (laboratory)
biology and to organic and biochemistry. It is
designed for students who have already
learned general chemistry (usually through a
program such as Matter and Motion or
Introduction to Natural Science) and who plan
to go on to advanced work in chemistry and
field or laboratory biology. It includes organic
chemistry and the upper-division topics of
anatomy, genetics, microbiology, physiology,
immunology, molecular and cellular biology
and biochemistry in a yearlong sequence.
The program begins with two separate
themes - one at the "cell" level and the other
at the "molecule" level. In the cell theme we
start with the cell and microbiology and
proceed to the whole organism with examinations of structure and function relationships at
all levels including some anatomy and
physiology. In the molecular theme we will
examine organic chemistry, the nature of
organic compounds and reactions, and carry
this theme into biochemistry and the fundamental chemical reactions of living systems. As
the year progresses, the two themes merge
through studies of cellular and molecular
processes in molecular biology, developmental
biology, physiology and immunology.

Philosophers, psychologists, neurobiologists,
computer scientists, linguists and anthropologists have raised questions about the human
mind. What is its structure? What is the
relationship of mind and brain? Does the
brain work like a computer; if so, what kind
of computer? How do culture and biology
affect the development of the mind? To what
extent is the mind rational?
A "cognitive revolution" has transformed
the study of these questions. Science of Mind
will explore the nature of this revolution. It
will consider theories from past and
contemporary cognitive psychology and
neurobiology, issues in philosophy of science
and mind, as well as computer models of
mental activity. Emphasis will be placed on
theories about the nature of perception,
attention, memory, reasoning and language as
well as current developments in the study of
neural nets. The program will cover basic
cellular neurobiology, application of neural
network models, theory and practice of
experimental cognitive psychology, research
design in psychology, descriptive and
inferential statistics with psychological
research applications, use of the computer for
data analysis and computer simulation mental
activity.
Fall and winter quarters: considerable
work in statistics and research design, as well
as a survey of research in cognitive psychology, neurobiology and related philosophical
fields.
Spring quarter: an extensive research project
in experimental cognitive psychology,
neurobiology, computer modeling or library
research and reading in these areas or the
philosophy of mind.

Credit awarded in physiology", cell biology",
molecular biology x', organic chemistry I,
organic chemistry II'" and III*, biochemistry",

Travel Component: Field trips.
What are ecologically sound homes and workplaces for real, present-day human beings? We
will pursue this question by combining large
visions with solid foundational knowledge.
The heart of the program is designing:
homes and workplaces must be imagined
before they can be built. A yearlong design
studio will teach relevant skills and knowledge
through a series of small and large projects.
For some students, this may mean participating in the design of specific real-world
buildings, such the new Seminar II classroom
building, an appropriate-technology house at
the Organic Farm, a possible expansion of
Housing or a youth hostel for Olympia.
Other students may focus more on off-grid
living, Third World needs, waste management,
energy, alternative materials such as straw,
earth or recycled tires, the technological
visions of people like Buckminister Fuller or
Amory Lovins, the whole systems understanding of Lynn Margulis and others, or the social
visions of Boston's Dudley Street Project.
As vital background to designing, students
and faculty will do readings, lectures,
seminars, library research and site visits on
two major themes: human needs, wants and
hopes; and nature's processes, within which
human life must take place. Students and
faculty will develop their facility in graphics,
structural and environmental analysis,
modeling, literature searching on- and off-line,
group problem solving and effective writing.
This program actively seeks students from a
variety of levels, backgrounds and interests.
Be ready to participate energetically, to learn
from fellow students as well as faculty, to
share skills and insights generously. Some
program activities will be organized according
to level; others will be shared by all.

Critical problems with software systems
remain despite the best efforts of many very
smart people over the last 50 years. Software
is often late, over budget, socially irresponsible, unable to perform according to user
needs or has some combination of these
shortcomings. The software engineering
problem is not just a matter of technology but
a problem of organization, psychology, group
dynamics and culture. In addition, considerable knowledge and understanding of the
relevant domain is required to design and
implement a successful system. Student
Originated Software is intended to prepare
students to face these problems.
This yearlong program is designed to give
students with advanced programming skills
(or some programming skills and considerable
domain expertise) the ability to identify and
carry out a viable software project. Students
will work in groups to identify a software
project, prepare market research and
feasibility studies for that project, identify a
real-world client (or class of clients) and write
software specifications. Under the guidance of
faculty and working with users, students will
conduct systems analysis and design,
implementation and product testing and
validation. They will write user manuals and
system maintenance plans and, where
appropriate, conduct or plan system
installation and user training. Students will
evaluate their software project according to
technical, legal and social criteria.

* indicates upper-division credit

Domains of successful past projects include
the sciences, music, visual arts, education,
computer security and databases for small
business and local and state agencies. The
program seminar will address ergonomics and
human-machine interaction and the psychology of computer programming; the role of
technical expertise and the Internet in modern
society; the organizational, social and cultural
milieu of the workplace.
Credit awarded in computer science",
software engineering *, object-oriented
analysis *, design'" programming and
databases *, computer graphics or user
interface design *, distributed computing
systems*, software tools* and special topics*.

A number of the faculty in this planning
group are engaged in research projects that
offer collaborative research opportunities for
advanced students. These provide an
important mode of advanced work in the
sciences, taking advantage of faculty expertise,
Evergreen's flexible structure and excellent
equipment purchased through grants from the
National Science Foundation and the
Murdock Foundation. In general, students
begin by working in apprenticeship mode with
more senior personnel and gradually take on
more independent projects within the context
of the specific program. These projects
generally run 12 months a year; a signature is
required from the faculty with whom students
will be working.
Betty Kutter (molecular biology), Burt
Guttman (genetics) and Jim Neitzel (biochemistry) study Bacteriophage T4, which has been
a key model organism in molecular genetics
for more than 50 years. Its infection of E. coli
leads to rapid cessation of host DNA, RNA
and protein synthesis. These faculty members
are working to clone and overexpress the
many host-lethal genes that are responsible;
purify and characterize their protein products;
determine their specific functions; look at
ways in which they can be used to better
understand bacterial metabolism; and
examine the infection process under a variety
of environmental conditions. Evergreen is the
center for genomic analysis and database
development for these phages, and work with
phage ecology and potential uses as antibiotics.
Judith Bayard Cushing studies how
scientists use distributed computing and data
to conduct research. She would like to work
with students who have a background in
computer science or molecular biology, forest
ecology, chemistry or physics and a strong
motivation to explore new computing
paradigms, such as object-oriented systems
and multiplatform computing.

Jeff Kelly and Clyde Barlow work with
biophysical applications of spectroscopy to
study physiological processes at the organ
level, with direct applications to health
problems. Students with backgrounds in
biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics or
computer science can obtain practical
experience in applying their backgrounds to
biomedical research problems in an interdisciplinary laboratory environment.
Dharshi Bopegedera is interested in
studying vibration-rotation spectra of unstable
molecules. Students with a solid background
in chemistry can get experience in synthesizing
unstable gaseous molecules and recording
their infrared spectra with her newly acquired
ITIR spectrophotometer.
Janet Ott studies alternative healing
methods, especially the mechanisms involved
in acupuncture and acupressure, by measuring
changes in such physiological processes as
EEG, ECG, EMG and respiration during
treatments. Students with strong backgrounds
in biology, chemistry, physics or statistics can
obtain laboratory experience applying their
expertise to this growing field. Students with
an interest in alternative medicine may also
find this laboratory experience of use to their
training.
E.]. Zita (physics) studies the structure and
dynamics of magnetic stars. Like plasmas
(ionized gases) in fusion energy research labs,
stars can create and respond to electromagnetic fields. Zita's theoretical model explains
how twisting magnetic fields can cause sound
waves in stars, which are well understood in
the Sun but a puzzle in hotter stars. Students'
calculations generate predictions and
diagrams based on her model (using software
such as Excel or Mathematica). Students'
observations can help test and refine the
model (using telescopes on campus and in
Eastern Washington or observing remotely via
the Internet).
Rob Knapp studies thermal and electric
energy flows in buildings, as a contribution to
ecologically conscious design of homes and
workplaces. A National Science Foundation
grant has provided instrumentation to
measure heat loss, air flows, solar gains and
related aspects of conventional and alternative
buildings by which to compare different
approaches to energy conservation and
renewable resource use. Students with
backgrounds in physics, electronics or
computer modeling can help with these
explorations.
Credit will be awarded in lab biology* and
chemistry,* health sciences*, teaching and
environmental sciences,* physics* and
astronomy lab biology. *
Total: 4-16 credits each quarter.

Whole and Holy: Alternative
Herstories of Healing

to fall registration, May 17, 1999.
Special Expenses: $50 for materials
Part-Time Options: No
Internship Possibilities: Yes
Travel Component: None
To heal: deriving from the same roots as the
words whole and holy. We intend to explore
healing as that which is whole and holy by
examining alternative herstories - forms of
healing involving body, mind, spirit and the
environment from so-called feminine
perspectives. We will learn about the historical
roots of the healing practices we use today,
our division of mainstream and alternative
medicine, and the patriarchal and reductionist
effects of this division on physiology,
emotional literacy, and the evolution of the
soul. In addition to books, films, lectures and
seminars, we will expect each student: 1) to
engage in an apprenticeship, community
service-learning project and internship and
participatory or collaborative research; 2) to
go on a mid-winter retreat; and 3) to develop
the discipline of a healing practice (e.g., a
martial art, nutritional plan, exercise routine,
herbalism, goddess worship, healing tough,
yoga, music, gardening or apprenticeship with
an indigenous healer).
Our studies will be concerned with the
contemporary resurrection of traditional
healing practices. From witches, midwives and
alchemists to their takeover by corporate
medicine men, we will examine the historical
contexts of healing versus curing. We will ask
ourselves, what does the resurrection of
traditional healing practices such as acupuncture, herbalism, bodywork and other
alternative forms of medicine have to do with
the energetics of healing and the rise of
personal power out of tribal authority?
We want highly motivated, self-directed
students who are interested in, and capable of,
integrating intellectual work with personal
process. We want to develop a studentdirected learning community in which
experiential know ledges are put into
conversation with academic scholarship.

Books might include: Woman as Healer,
Emotional Literacy, Why People Don't Heal
and How they Can, For Her Own Good, An
Illustrated History of the Healing Arts, A
Touch of Healing, Molecules of Emotion, The
Healing Circle, Mother Mysteries, Man and
His Symbols, Ecotherapy, The Healing of
America, Anatomy of the Spirit, Gaia and
Gaia: An Eco Feminist Theology of Earth and
Healing and All Sickness is Homesickness.
Credit awarded in history, comparative
religion, ecofeminism, political theory,
physiology, nutrition, anthropology, women's
studies and environmental policy.
Total: 16 credits each quarter.

Social Theory, Social Change and Public Policy integrates anthropology, economics,
history, law, public policy, labor studies, management, political science, philosophy,
sociology, health sciences and psychology as a set of tools for understanding society and
the individual's role in society.
The area has a diverse range of faculty who look at ways societies are organized and
governed and the ramifications for class, race and gender in global, national and local
contexts. Through our various academic offerings, we explore the evolution of
historical and contemporary problems: how they are understood, how and why certain
decisions are made and what difference various solutions make for the quality of
societal and individual existence. We also examine strategies for social change in
historical, present and alternative future time frames.
Depending on which programs are undertaken in this area, students can learn about
management skills, including values and ethics and the public interest; social, psychological and biological forces that affect human health and behavior; and policy
formulation and implementation.
Since all major social problems are deeply grounded in cultural, philosophical, social
economic and political theories, history and practice, the understanding and integration
of these areas will prepare students for solving contemporary problems and anticipating
new and changing realities.
This area also works collaboratively with the faculty assigned to the Master in
Teaching program and Graduate Program in Public Administration to develop the
curriculum in the social sciences.

As we prepare to enter the 21st century, the
dominant ideology is that there are no
alternatives to capitalism and that the only
path for countries to take is one that worships
the "free market," and that is totally open to
the products and investment of multinational
corporations. In this one-quarter group
contract, we will research social movements in
a variety of countries that are actively resisting
this neoliberal model and the related
structural adjustment policies of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank; and
that are in theory and practice putting
forward alternative visions and models for
meeting human needs.
We will examine the concept of economic
development as well as differing contemporary theories of development. We will study
noncapitalist alternatives in the context of the
global capitalist system. The bulk of this
program will be researching relevant case
studies. The particular ones selected will be
based on the interests of the students and
faculty. Possibilities include but are not limited
to Cuba, the United States, Mexico, Vietnam,
South Africa, Nicaragua and Guatemala.
Students will form groups to research, write
up and present to the class the particular
country and social movement they have
chosen.
Credit awarded in comparative economic
systems", Latin American studies 'f and
international political economy".
Total: 16 credits.
Program is preparatory for careers and future
studies in economics, third world studies and
international solidarity work.

Black and Green 2000: The

Most of us are aware that the official story of
our nation's past, as told in the school history
texts, is just one version of what happened, a
socially constructed version designed to serve
certain purposes. We may also have become
aware that this version is too narrow or
exclusive to serve the democratic aspirations
of our increasingly multicultural democracy.
This program, drawing upon the experience
of the instructors, will focus in its readings
and lectures on the "hidden histories" of two
peoples in the United States: the African
American and the Irish American. In terms of
time periods, the foci will be (1) the "founding" or colonial era; (2) the afterbirth of the
nation, with attention to such topics as postfamine migration from Ireland, minstrelsy, the
Civil War and Reconstruction; and (3) the
postwar era in which the American "community" is consolidated in the face of civil-rights
struggles, the labor movement and the
emergence of North-South conflict. Special
attention will be given in a quarter-ending
conference to the often strained relations
between peoples like Irish Americans and
African Americans whose shared experience
of catastrophe might have yielded (and may
yet yield) a more cooperative struggle.
Student work will build on the work of
students in previous offerings of the program
and will be shelved in the Library as
contributions to the new multicultural
narrative vital to the future of the nation.
Students will be required (1) to do extensive
research into some aspect of hidden histories,
(2) to enter into collaborative dialogue with
differently focused students in the program,
(3) to present one's own research and respond
to the research of others in end-of-theprogram public conferences, and (4) to assist
us all in framing the inclusion of those
histories in an ultimately comprehensive
multicultural narrative that enables us to live
together with respect for and appreciation of
our differences.
Credit awarded in American history, political
economy, cultural studies, philosophy of
history, African American studies and Irish
American studies.
Total: 16 credits.
Program is preparatory for careers and future
studies in American history, educational and
governmental administration, teaching and
ethnic, cultural and gender studies.

Over the last 150 years, the Americas have
become increasingly intertwined economically,
politically and culturally. This program will
study historical and contemporary experiences
of Mexicans and Puerto Ricans, in their
countries of origin and in the United States.
We will explore how uneven colonial, class,
ethnic and gender relationships within and
between countries played themselves out in a
series of displacements. These have ranged
from the more literal pushes and pulls of
migration patterns and labor relations to the
more metaphorical transformations of
cultural forms and group identities over time.
In the fall, we will focus on the
interconnectedness of economics, politics and
culture in Mexico and Puerto Rico, in the
context of phenomena as diverse as: 1)
economic "development" models; 2) political
and cultural resistance movements; and 3)
migrations to and from the United States.
In the winter, we will migrate into the
United States, where Mexican Americans and
mainland-born Puerto Ricans, as well as
recent migrants, have created vibrant
synthesizing forms of political, economic and
cultural action and protest. Topics may
include: 1) the history of U.S. immigration; 2)
the farmworkers' movement and recent labor
struggles; and 3) the emergence of distinctive
Chicano and Puerto Rican literary and
theatrical forms.
Students will learn to interpret literary and
visual texts in social contexts and to use
political, economic and legal models to
address social questions. Each student will
also conduct a two-quarter research project
that will hone skills in prospectus and report
writing, library and community-based
research and oral presentation.
This is an integral two-quarter sequence; no
new students will be admitted in the winter.

This program will explore some of the myths
and realities of psychology, concepts of mental
health, the mental health system and
psychological counseling. The title of this
program was taken from a cartoon
Nonsequitor by Wiley. It shows an analyst
sitting behind a client on a couch. Taped to
the back of the couch is a set of instructions
the client cannot see. Our program title is the
first set of instructions. If you take this
program, you'll learn what the other set just
happens to be.
There will be a strong emphasis on our
personal values and attitudes toward people
who have traditionally been marginalized
within American culture: women, people of
color, lesbian, bisexual and gay people, people
with disabilities, individuals with lower
socioeconomic status and religious groups.
Too often, our life stories are seen as adjuncts
to the central themes of psychology and
psychotherapy as the object of study. An
examination of the constructs and structures
within the discipline of psychology, the mental
health field and psychological counseling is
necessary to explode the current perspective
used to embark on a study of this field and to
create a new psychology. Within the context
of this exploration, the areas of abnormal
psychology; personality theory; individual,
dyadic and family and group dynamics;
community psychology and the mental health
system in the United States; and ethics will be
considered. Collaborative learning, lectures,
workshops, speakers, seminar, films, research
and communication skill lab will be the
format used for increasing our understanding
of this material. We will use challenge and
experiential learning as an integral component
of the program to expand our understanding
of the "self" along with autobiography.

* indicates upper-division credit

Program participants will study basic
counseling theory and techniques for both
individual and group counseling, gain an
historical perspective of psychology, obtain
experience that may be applied toward a
future job placement or graduate study and
examine the dynamics of oppression and
discrimination in shaping human behavior.
Internships of 20 hours per week are
required during winter and spring quarters.
Supervision will be provided by professionals
at the setting. Program participants and the
instructor, using a group format, will utilize
our personal experiences and expertise for
further supervision. Both the program
participants and the instructor will determine
the most appropriate internship based on the
program participant's needs and available
resources.
This program is not for the faint of heart,
those not willing to explore their own
identities and values, people who want to
save the world, students who understand their
education as commodities or any others

unwilling to reveal their own drives and
desires.

What does it mean to understand a poem, or a
picture, or what happened a hundred years
ago, or why someone keeps acting in a stupid
way? Is it just a matter of opinion or
somebody else's guess? Do some people really
see and know a lot more than others about
such things? This program involves ongoing
practice in trying to answer questions like
these better, as well as careful exploration of
theories about what, if anything, can be
known about the meaning of others' actions.
This program prepares students for
sophisticated work in the humanities and
interpretive social sciences (fields like
anthropology, sociology, history and some
types of psychology). Such disciplines attempt
to understand human acts - from slips of the
tongue to religious rituals, sonnets to political
choices, cartoons to painted church ceilings.
They all involve the same fundamental
intellectual process - interpreting situations
that have multiple sources of meaning,
including the intentions of the actor, what
some audiences make of those actions and
other contexts as well. We will pay close
attention to the methods and tools of various
disciplines, to ideas about the functions and
values of art and to analyzing and critiquing
philosophical arguments about what is
involved in claiming to understand someone
else's actions.
Credit awarded in literature, art history,
philosophy, history, psychology, anthropology,
media and social science.
Total: 16 credits each quarter.
Program is preparatory for careers and future

Students will be notified by mail or fax.
Special Expenses: During spring quarter,
students will go on a two-week sailing field
trip, approximately $300 per student.
Part-Time Options: No
Internship Possibilities: Yes, winter and spring
Travel Component: Two-week sailing trip.
While afoot and afloat, rain or shine, we will
examine some of Puget Sound's most interesting waterfront communities, their history,
economy, politics and demography, tailoring
our studies to the interests of you, the crew of
the Resolute, Evergreen's 44-foot yawl. While
exploring Puget Sound, we will often conduct
classes on the deck of one of the last of the
Annapolis 44s. Crew members will learn
power cruise and sail seamanship, how to get
along with crewmates, rules of the road,
about tides and currents, weather, boating
safety and regulations, the use of the compass
and nautical chart and various sailor's arts.
All decisions on board will be made by the
skipper and strict rules of discipline will be
followed. In addition to specific assigned
duties, crew members are expected to help
with vessel maintenance. This may involve
several hours a month of hard work.
Each crew member will develop his or her
own research proposal (in coordination with
the faculty and other crew members) for
community study and possible community
activities, focusing on the way things are now
in the context of the past, and particularly
from the perspective of the Water Link, the
Puget Sound. Class activities will include field
trips to organizations and shore-side
installations to observe and learn how Puget
Sound inhabitants participate in the regional
and global economy. These trips may require
appropriate apparel and other digressions and
deferrals commensurate with and respectful
for the environs and individuals visited.
Students may develop part-time internships
during the winter and spring quarters as they
become more focused on a specific activity.
Students should plan on at least one very long
day per week on board the vessel.
Applicants must pass a swim test and the
requirements and judgment of the skipper for
building a balanced crew. Applicants will be
interviewed by John Filmer and should be
willing to contract full time for the entire
academic year. Admittance will be based
solely on the determination of the skipper.
Credit awarded in sociology, history, economics, business, political science and navigation.
Total: 16 credits.

Students who register for a program or
course but do not attend the first class
meeting may be dropped.

This program will pursue questions about
religious belief that can be answered with the
use of unaided (by faith) human reason. This
is not an inspirational offering, nor does it
support any particular position on religious
belief. It focuses exclusively on Western
philosophy and religion.
There will be four principal foci:
• We will examine some of the classical
arguments of natural theology, i.e., some of
the best known proofs and disproofs of God's
existence.
• We will study the philosophy of religion of
some of the followers of the distinguished
20th century philosopher Ludwig
Witrgenstein.
• We will examine the moral and religious
philosophy of Simone Weil. Both Wittgenstein
and Weil offer profound reflections on the
place of religion in human life, which are
quite at odds with the mainstream tradition in
Western philosophy.
• In contemporary American culture, religion
plays an important role in political discourse.
The theological fundamentalism of the
"religious right" is a significant force in
discussions of social, political and economic
issues in this country. In other parts of the
world "liberation theology," a left/progressive
religious orientation, is alive and well.
We will study both left and right political
uses of religious beliefs and practices.
This academic and predominately analytic
program emphasizes the careful and detailed
study of demanding texts. This program is
geared to juniors and seniors only.
Credit awarded in philosophy of religion,
Wittgenstein on religion and sociology of
religion.
Total: 16 credits.

Political Economy and Social Movements is a
two-quarter program for students with
sophomore-level standing and above. We will
examine the historical construction of the U.S.
political economy, the role social movements
have played in its development and future
possibilities for social justice.
Our goal is to gain a clear understanding of
how the U.S. economy has been organized and
reorganized over time, how it has been
controlled and who has benefited from it, the
nature of racism and sexism and how social
movements, particularly those based on race,
class and gender, have resisted and shaped its
direction. We will also examine the current
and future direction of the U.S. economy and
society and how various social movements are
responding to the changing global order,
nationally and globally.
Fall quarter's work will focus primarily on
the historical development of the U.S. and on
learning and critiquing various ideologies and
frameworks such as liberalism, various
feminist theories, Marxism and neoclassical
economics. Current economic restructuring
efforts and the reorganization of the social
welfare state will be examined. Key issues and
topics - such as the growing inequality of
income and wealth; the changing nature of
technology, work and unions; poverty, public
education, youth, immigration and prisons will be studied historically and as we prepare
to enter the 21st century. For each of these
topics the role of race, class and gender will be
examined, as will short-run and longer-run
solutions to related social problems.
Winter quarter's work will center on the
interrelationship between the U.S. economy
and the changing global system. We will study
the causes and consequences of the growing
globalization of capital; the role of international organizations such as the World Bank,
the IMF and the World Trade Organization;
the meaning of various trade agreements and
regional organizations such as NAFTA, APEC
and the European Union; and the response of
social movements and civil society who
oppose this emerging global order. We will
pay particular attention to the human
consequences of this new order, as well as
resistance to it in some case studies in the
South, such as Mexico and South Africa. We
will look at alternative ways of organizing
society for the United States and beyond.

Films will be shown throughout the
program, and there will be a substantial
amount of reading in a variety of genres.
There will be workshops in economics,
writing and organizing for social change.
During fall quarter, students will write a series
of short, primarily analytical papers. During
winter quarter, students will complete a
research project or participate in a social
change group or do relevant community
service. Students taking this program should
have an interest in the social sciences, in
theory of social movements and/or principles
of organizing.
Credit awarded in political economy, U.S.
history, economics, sociology of social
movements, international political economy,
global studies, sociology of racism and
women's studies.
Total: 16 credits each quarter.
Program is preparatory for careers and future
studies in teaching, labor and community
organizing, public service and economic and
social movement theory.

contexts. The program will include an
examination of the relationship of property to
personal identity, justice and power. Other
topics that might be explored include property
rights, intellectual property, entitlements,
ownership of one's body, money, living
without property and the role of government
in legitimizing the acquisition and distribution
of property. Students will be encouraged to
lead the way. Forms for program work will

Philosophers, psychologists, neurobiologists,
computer scientists, linguists and anthropologists have raised questions about the human
mind. What is its structure? What is the
relationship of mind and brain? Does the
brain work like a computer; if so, what kind
of computer? How do culture and biology
affect the development of the mind? To what
extent is the mind rational?
A "cognitive revolution" has transformed
the study of these questions. Science of Mind
will explore the nature of this revolution. It
will consider theories from past and contemporary cognitive psychology and neurobiology, issues in philosophy of science and mind,
as well as computer models of mental activity.
Emphasis will be placed on theories about the
nature of perception, attention, memory
reasoning, and language as well as current
developments in the study of neural nets. The
program will cover basic cellular neurobiology, application of neural network models,
theory and practice of experimental cognitive
psychology, research design in psychology,
descriptive and inferential statistics with
psychological research applications, use of the
computer for data analysis and computer
simulation mental activity.
Fall and winter quarters: considerable work
in statistics and research design, as well as a
survey of research in cognitive psychology,
neurobiology and related philosophical fields.
Spring quarter: an extensive research
project in experimental cognitive psychology,
neurobiology, computer modeling or library
research and reading in these areas or the
philosophy of mind.

A defining characteristic of our culture - i.e.,
of contemporary U.S. culture - is a firm
belief in the dignity of the individual and the
value of personal or individual liberty. This
stance carries with it a correlative conception
of society as something that at least potentially threatens to smother or constrain
personal freedom. Indeed, this way we think
of society is largely a function of our culture's
more fundamental commitment to the dignity
and liberty of the individual. But what is the
individual self and what exactly is its relation
to the society - community? - in which it
lives? Are self and society mutual antagonists?
In this program we will pursue both
psychological and philosophical investigations
into the way our culture conceives of the
individual, society and the relationship
between the two. We shall examine types of
personality theory, with special emphasis on
the contrast between trait vs. narrative
approaches to personality. A key question we
will address in this context is: Is personality
something that carries over across social
situations or is personality situationally
constituted? When we seek to explain
behavior, what roles do individual differences
among persons, as opposed to social,
historical and cultural context, play in these
explanations? These issues in turn raise crucial
psychological and philosophical questions
about the very idea of studying the self. What
methods do psychologists use in the study of
the self, and how do they evaluate their own
methods?
We shall also examine some key controversies surrounding the practice of psychotherapy. What exactly is a "mental illness?"
How has it come to pass that the number of
legitimate and certified categories of mental
illness has exploded in the past decade or
two? The vast proliferation of "mental
disorders" has coincided with a pervasive
cultural preoccupation with the risks and
dangers that are supposed to plague everyday
life. Is this merely coincidental or are deeper
historical and cultural currents at work?
Everything we study in this program will be
considered in historical and cultural context.
That is, we shall inquire into the social,
historical and cultural circumstances that
make the questions we ask in this program
possible.

contract to explore social work as both a
social movement and a helping profession.
During fall quarter, our focus is on the
philosophical and historical evolution of
social work from a social movement to a
contemporary professional community
practice.
During winter quarter, we explore two
fundamental professional skills used by social
work practitioners: social work research
methods and social work counseling methods.
Both skills are examined from a generalist,
multicultural, interdisciplinary perspective.

Turning Eastward: Explorations
in EastlWest Psychology

Fall, Winter, Spring/Coordinated Study

This program is shaped by the belief that
liberal arts graduates bring a special talent to
the study and practice of business management. They are "big picture" thinkers, skilled
at framing the larger issues that often drive
strategic thinking in public and private organizations. Evergreen graduates, in particular,
learn collaborative processes that enable them
to span and build on differences between
theory and application, ethnicity, gender and
discipline. Liberal arts graduates become
strong critical thinkers and active listeners.
They communicate ideas clearly and reason
about ethical principles and moral outcomes.
They know enough about finance, marketing,
organizational behavior and other disciplines
to know how to get specialized expertise when
needed, but will not devote the bulk of their
education to one area. Their talent is putting
elements together into a comprehensive
strategic plan that will be competitively
successful and ethically consistent with their
sense of what is right, just and fair.
This program aims to make meaningful
progress toward these learning objectives: (1)
writing clear and well-structured essays and
reports; (2) listening actively and reading
effectively; (3) expressing ideas clearly and
supporting argumentation; (4) developing
strategic planning skills; (5) refining smallgroup interaction skills; (6) defining ethical
parameters for business policy-makers.
Spring work will emerge from computer
models: student groups will simulate strategic
planning and implementation in a competitive
industry with operations in several countries.
Workshops will focus on reading financial
statements and budgets, understanding
economic data, interpreting organizational
behavior patterns and effective writing.
The program seeks to identify the social,
political, economic and environmental issues
shaping business policy as we enter the 21st
century. Week activities include two seminars,
a lecture and discussion period and two workshops. Weekly seminar papers and periodic
workshop submittals are required. A research
paper is required each quarter (individual
submittals in fall; group submittals in winter).
Conferences with faculty are expected.

Western psychology has failed to provide a
satisfactory understanding of the full range of
human experience. It has largely overlooked
the core of human understanding - our
everyday mind, our immediate awareness of
being with all of its felt complexity and
attunement to the vast network of interconnectedness with the universe around us.
Instead it analyzes the mind as though it were
an object independent of the analyzer,
consisting of structures and mechanisms that
cannot be directly experienced. This neglect of
the living mind has led to an upsurge of
interest in the ancient wisdom of the East,
particularly Buddhism, which does not
divorce the study of psychology from the
concern with wisdom and human liberation.
Eastern psychology shuns any attempt to
objectify human life from the viewpoint of an
external observer, instead studying consciousness as a living reality that shapes individual
and collective perception and action. The
primary tool for directly exploring the mind is
meditation or mindfulness, an experiential
process in which one becomes an attentive
participant-observer in the unfolding of
moment-to-moment consciousness.
This program will take a critical look at the
basic assumptions and tenets of the major
currents in Western psychology, the concept of
mental illness and the distinctions drawn
between normal and abnormal thought and
behavior. We will then investigate the Eastern
study of mind that has developed within
spiritual traditions, taking care to avoid the
common pitfall of most Western interpretations of Eastern thought - the attempt to fit
Eastern ideas and practices into unexamined
Western assumptions and intellectual categories. Lastly, we will address the encounter
between Eastern and Western psychology as
having ramifications for the human sciences in
the future, potentially leading to new perspectives on human experience and concerns.

Native American and World Indigenous Peoples Studies (NAWIPS)offers a variety of
opportunities for academic work. The area programs focus on the indigenous peoples of
the Pacific Northwest, the Americas and the world. The college offers these educational
opportunities through on-campus programs, a reservation-based program and the
Longhouse Education and Cultural Center.
On campus, yearly coordinated-study NAWIPS programs require that students begin
their studies by understanding the basic principles and concepts of the treaty relationship
between the Tribal Nations and the U.S. government. Participants will examine political,
social, economic and cultural issues related to indigenous history, exploring a continuum
that begins in pre-Columbian times and examines the effects of colonialism and the
movements of the contemporary era.
Off campus, the reservation-based program emphasizes community building within
Native American communities where the classes are held. The yearlong coordinated study
program offers participants opportunity to be effective inside or outside their reservation.
Material is taught using the tribal perspective and issues related to tribal communities are
often the topics of discussion.
The two programs join together four times each quarter in the Longhouse for a
combined educational experience.
The Longhouse Education and Cultural Center represents a living, contemporary
cultural link to the Indigenous Nations of the Pacific Northwest. The purpose and
philosophy of the Longhouse Center is based in service and hospitality to students, the
college, indigenous communities and the community at large. The primary function of the
facility is to provide classroom space on campus, house the NAWIPS program, serve as a
center for multicultural and crosscultural interaction and host conferences, cultural
ceremonies, performances, exhibits and community gatherings.

Recent scholarship has documented that
indigenous peoples across the globe share a
common world view that is based on the
belief that all people share a custodial
responsibility to the earth as an entity and to
our natural environment as its manifestation.
The United Nations has acknowledged that
approximately 6,000 indigenous peoples
continue to exist in distinct communities
occupying their ancestral lands and maintaining their native language and culture. Most of
these communities, including American Indian
Tribal Nations, also share a common heritage
of oppression resulting from the impacts of
European colonialism and the-colonialist
policies of the governments that succeeded
European colonial powers. In the face of this
history of oppression and its contemporary
manifestations, many indigenous peoples are
experiencing a "quickening," a period of
unprecedented revitalization. This awakening
is seen in the cultural, political, social and
economic arenas and appears to rest on
spiritual and psychological foundations that
often defy definition in Western terms.
In this program, students will identify most
of the indigenous peoples of the world, where
they live and why they are situated there, how
they"maintain community and what makes
them distinct peoples. We will examine the
physical, social and political realities that
confront indigenous peoples as they attempt
to fulfill their destiny. Over the academic year,
we will identify the artistic, literary and
spiritual traditions that inspire indigenous
artists, writers and philosophers. Finally, from
a holistic perspective and as contemporary
scholars, we will analyze the relationships
between indigenous peoples and the larger
societies within which they exist.

Particular emphasis will be given to
identifying the cultural, political, social and
economic contributions of indigenous peoples,
often unknown, overlooked and unacknowledged by these larger societies. As we identify
the roles that indigenous peoples now play
within the local, regional and global society,
we will examine how these roles can make a
contribution in the future to effectively
address the more pressing issues facing us all
as members of and participants in the larger
society. Conservation of natural species such
as salmon and other fisheries, an ethic of
environmental management, achieving
balance between positive life values and
economic growth and production, respect for
elders, for children and for ourselves - these
issues challenge all of us who attempt to live
thoughtful and aware lives. In our analysis of
indigenous peoples yesterday, today and
tomorrow, we shall look for evidence of how
their experiences provide important lessons
for all of us now and in the future.
Credit awarded in astrology of the ancients,
history of indigenous people, land and water
issues, culture and environment and politics of
indigenous people.
Total: 12 or 16 credits each quarter.
Program is preparatory for careers and future
studies in international affairs, politics, tribal
government and social services.

Tribal: Reservation-Based/
Community-Determined
Fall, Winter, Spring/Coordinated Study
Faculty: Paul Tamburro, TBA
Enrollment: 50
Prerequisites: Consult coordinator.
Faculty Signature: Yes
Special Expenses: Expenses related to at least
four visits to the Olympia campus each
quarter. Travel to other reservation sites may
also be included.
Part-Time Options: No
Internship Possibilities: No
Travel Component: Four campus visits to the
main campus each quarter.
This community-determined program seeks
tribal members and other students who work
or live on a reservation.
The program emphasizes communitybuilding within the Native American communities in which classes are held. Students and
tribal officials design the curriculum by asking
what an educated member of an Indian nation
needs to know to contribute to the community.
The interdisciplinary approach allows students
to participate in seminars while also studying
in their individual academic interest areas.
Curriculum development for the academic
year begins with community involvement the
previous spring. Students and tribal representatives identify educational goals and curriculum
topics. A primary goal of this process is the
development of students' ability to be effective
inside and outside the Native community.
Using suggestions received, the faculty develop
an interdisciplinary curriculum and texts,
methods and resources to assist the learning
process. Students make the learning appropriate to them in their community.
Within the framework of the identified
curriculum is the premise that an "educated
person" needs to have skills in research,
analysis and communication. Material is
taught using a tribal perspective and issues
related to tribal communities are often the
topics of discussion. Scholarship and critical
thinking skills are assessed as part of student
evaluations.
This program is primarily designed for
upper-division students seeking a liberal arts
degree. Program themes change yearly on a
rotating basis. The theme for 1999-2000 is
U.S. GovernmentfTribal Government
Relationships. Natural resources is integrated
into the program each year.

Teacher

Education

The Master in Teaching Program at Evergreen
is a full-time, six-quarter, two-year professional
teacher preparation program leading to the MIT
degree and initial teacher certification in
Washington state. The program is fully accredited
by the state Board of Education.
The MIT Program reflects the Evergreen
coordinated studies model; the curriculum is
organized around integrated themes. An
interdisciplinary team of faculty and a cohort of a
maximum of 60 full-time students form a
community of learners to investigate curricular
themes.
The MIT Program is centered around the
exploration of how public education might meet
the needs of the diverse groups of people who
live in this democracy. We examine what it means
to base teacher education and public education on
a multicultural, democratic, developmental
perspective and how performance-based
assessment can promote these values.
The program interrelates theory and practice
by including two full quarters of student teaching
and substantial field experiences. During the first
year of the program, approximately one-fourth of
program time is spent in the field observing and
working with students and the remaining time is
devoted to on-campus seminars, workshops and
lectures. During the second year, nearly 70
percent of MIT student time is allocated to direct
involvement in K-12 schools.
Year one of each MIT cycle begins according
to the Evergreen schedule in late September. Year
two begins in late August in accordance with the
public school calendar.

Graduate Program in
Environmental Studies (MES)

Graduate Progam in
Public Administration (MPA)

MES and MPA
Program Procedures

Director: Richard Cellarius

Director: Linda Moon Stumpff

The Graduate Program in Environmental
Studies (MES Program) combines a deep
understanding of ecological and environmental issues with a study of environmental policy
development and implementation. The
program focuses on the relationship between
science and policy, so students can expect a
balanced curriculum that considers and seeks
creative solutions to contemporary environmental issues. Since 1984, the program has
prepared students for employment in the
public and private sectors or continuing
graduate study in related fields.
The MES Program is open to part-time and
full-time students. To accommodate working
students, course work is concentrated in the
evening and late afternoon. Part-time students
enroll for eight credits per quarter, while fulltime students enroll for 12. The 72-credit
completion requirement can be met by parttime students in nine quarters, while full-time
students can complete it in as few as six
quarters. Students are expected to have recent
course work in the social and natural sciences
and in statistics before entering the program.
The MES Program consists of three parts:
required core courses, elective course work
and a thesis. The core is taught by an
interdisciplinary team of faculty, representing
the natural and social sciences. The core
sequence is eight credits per quarter and runs
for four quarters: Political, Economic and
Ecological Processes (fall); Population, Energy
and Resources (winter); Case Studies:
Environmental Assessment, Policy and
Management (spring); and Quantitative
Analysis for Environmental Studies (fall).
Electives are in-depth, four-credit courses
that focus on specific topics of environmental
analysis and problem solving. Part-time
students enroll in electives after completing
core courses. Full-time students enroll in both
core courses and electives. Typically, three or
four elective courses are offered each quarter.
All students are required to complete a
thesis. The MES Program offers an eightcredit and 16-credit thesis option. The eightcredit thesis is completed during winter and
spring quarter. Students selecting the eightcredit thesis option complete the MES degree
with 32 credits of core courses, 32 credits of
elective course work and eight credits of
thesis. The 16-credit thesis option offers
students the opportunity for extended
research, data collection and analysis.
Students selecting the 16-credit thesis
complete the MES degree with 32 credits
of core, 24 credits of electives, and 16 credits
of thesis.

The primary commitment of the Graduate
Program in Public Administration (MPA
Program) is to challenge and thoroughly
prepare students to seek democratic, equitable,
practical solutions to problems facing public,
private and non-profit sectors and citizens in
the Pacific Northwest.
The program welcomes students intending to
pursue a public sector career as well as those
already working for government or organizations involved in public issues. We also
encourage students with career interests in the
non-profit or private sectors to consider the
MPA Program. Most MPA students are
employed full time in the public, non-profit or
private sectors. To accommodate working
students, classes are offered in the evenings.
A student can complete the 60-credit degree
requirement in six to eight academic quarters.
Students lacking significant public-sector
experience are expected to complete an
internship for at least one quarter. Students are
required to have recently completed course
work in statistics and micro/macro economics.
Both are offered in Evergreen's summer school.
To satisfy the degree requirement, a student
must participate in a sequence of six core
programs and complete 12 hours of elective
courses. Each core program is interdisciplinary
and team-taught by two or three faculty.
The core sequence provides sustained
instruction in the analytical, administrative and
communication skills needed for effective
public service. It is also designed to instill in
students the habit of examining the political
and economic context of public administration
and policy-making, addressing the ethical
dimension of administration and policy and
attending to issues of race and gender in the
workplace and in public policy.
The MPA core curriculum includes: The
Political and Economic Context of Public
Administration; Research Methods for the
Public Sector; Understanding Public Organizations; Fiscal Policy; Public Policy and Its
Administrative Implications; and the Applications Project.
The eight-credit applications project is
completed during spring quarter of the second
year. It is typically a group-authored research
effort with practical impact for current public
policy issues. Topic, form and content will vary
with students' interests, opportunities and
development, but every project represents the
culmination of work in the program and
provides a document that demonstrates the
author's knowledge and ability.
Elective courses allow a student to broaden
the study of public administration beyond the
range of the core programs.

The MES/MPA Graduate Catalog
The MES/MPA Graduate Catalog contains a
full description of the curriculum, academic
policies, admissions procedures and requirements for both programs, plus an application
form. Please consult the MES/MPA Graduate
Catalog before applying for admission.

2. Official academic transcripts certifying
receipt of a bachelor's degree
3. Statement of interest
4. Letters of recommendation
5. Brief essay by the applicant (MPA only)
6. GRE score (MES only)
For some who apply, the transcript or
admissions material may be an incomplete
reflection of their interests and abilities. Our
admissions process considers the applicant's
academic preparation as well as his or her
professional accomplishments or other public
activities and may require an interview with
faculty.
Financial Aid
Limited financial aid is available in the form
of fellowships, assistantships, scholarships,
tuition waivers, work-study assistance and
guaranteed student loans. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid must be
completed before any financial aid decision
can be made. Financial aid forms should be
mailed to the central processor by February
15,1999. Later applicants who qualify for
financial aid will compete for remaining
monies. In some cases, the MPA or MES
programs can assist a student in obtaining
part-time public-sector employment.
Information on financial aid is available from
the assistant to the directors for the MES/
MPA programs and the Financial Aid Office.

,

The heart of the Evergreen campus is Red Square, where students gather when the weather is nice (which happens more
often than locals are prone to admit). Most buildings are clustered around the square within easy walking distance of one
another - even after an unusual snowfall.

Learning extends outside the classroom. Everywhere you turn - from comfortable sitting areas in the hallways, to Red
Square to large venues like the Lecture Halls and the Gymnasium - students discuss and debate classroom concepts and
current issues.

Housing offers an array of rooms with a view, wooded walkways, a community center, recreational opportunities
and
much more, all a short walk from the central campus. You can even purchase food and other items at the The Branch.

SPEAKING OF EVERGREEN:
A GLOSSARY
A few words about Evergreen, a
college built on the philosophy that
teachers should focus on the educational experience of each individual
student. Free of distractions created
by academic departments, grades
and majors, Evergreen is a college
truly unlike any other. A few words
commonly used on campus help
describe this educational experience.
We share them with you here, as you
begin to explore all that Evergreen
has to offer.

Academic Advising A key part of the
student support services available in the
Student Advising Center, Academic
Advising offers up-to-date information on
internships, academic programs, faculty
and academic services. Advisors provide
valuable advice for planning your
education. You'll also receive advising
services- formal or informal, individual
or group - on an ongoing basisfrom
faculty in your programs and areas of
interest.

Academic Fair A mass gathering of
faculty, student services staff and students
held in the Library Lobby at the beginning of each academic year and near the
end of fall, winter and spring quarters. It
is a great opportunity to get information
about upcoming programs, explore
possible contracts and get help your with
planning. Check with Advising, Admissions or Registration & Records for dates
and times.
Academic Pathways The way to specialize
in a particular field of study is to plan an
academic or career "pathway." Talk with
an advisor or a faculty member teaching
in your field of interest to find out how
to plan your own academic pathway.

Students congregate in the College Activities Building to eat, relax, work and study. "The CAB" also houses the college
Bookstore, your source for art materials, office supplies, computers and software, sundries, gifts and, of course, books.
Upstairs, students staff the offices of approximately
50 student organizations.

Evergreen's festive outdoor graduation ceremony is attended by family and friends of approximately
a thousand graduates. The day after graduation
is Super Saturday, the largest one-day festival in Washington state. More than 25,000
people a year enjoy the music, crafts and food at this free gathering.

The Longhouse Education and Cultural Center, which incorporates the architecture of Pacific Coast tribes, reflects Evergreen's
commitment to multicultural
education. Evergreen also offers programs on Native American reservations and its Tacoma
Campus provides upper-division
programs for urban adults.
CAB Unless you're calling a taxi, CAB
refers to the College Activities Building.
Chaos Around here, it's spelled KAOS and
it's the college's community radio station.
Contracts Evergreen offers three kinds of
academic contracts: Group Contracts,
Individual Learning Contracts and
Internship Contracts. Talk to an academic
advisor or faculty member to learn more.
Coordinated Study Programs Academic
program with a team of two to five
faculty and 40 to 100 students. Primarily
full time and one or more quarters in
length, they focus on interdisciplinary
study and research on a particular theme
or topic.

Core Programs Coordinated studies for
beginners. Participants study several disciplines while improving college-level skills.
Courses Part-time courses,each with a
single disciplinary focus, supplement the
main curriculum. They can be combined
with programs, contracts and internships.
CPJIt's the Cooper Point Journal, the
colleges' student newspaper.
Credits Full-time students at Evergreen
earn 12 to 16 credits. The amount of
credit earned in a program is clearly
specified at the end of the evaluation of
the student's academic performance.

OTF Disappearing Task Forces.Evergreen's
planners, hoping to avoid permanent
committees, created DTFsto study problems, make recommendations and then
disappear. Several DTFsare active each
academic year and students are encouraged to participate. Contact the Officeof
the Vice President for Student Affairs.
EARSEvergreen's Automated Registration
System lets currently admitted students
register for classesover the phone.
Appointment information will be mailed
to you each quarter.

Evergreen students learn by doing; in the arts, doing means performing
live. Students display sculpture, produce plays,
perform on the college's Indonesian gamelan and much more. And a host of artists, from the thriving local scene and from
around the world, appear on campus and at Olympia-area venues.

Evergreen has a wealth of specialized facilities where students put theory into practice. These include editing studios for
media work, research laboratories and art studios for painting and drawing, metalworking,
woodworking,
pottery,
printmaking and glass blowing.

Whether lecturing, participating
in seminars, or working with students one-on-one, Evergreen faculty spend more time
with students than their peers at most comparable colleges and universities. Faculty members work full time each quarter
with one group of 23 to 25 students.
Equivalencies The approximate course
titles and credit hours listed at the end of
the program descriptions. These will be
listed as final "course equivalencies" at
the end of a faculty evaluation of your
academic work. This is the way Evergreen
translates interdisciplinary studies into
coursetitles similar to those at other
institutions. Students may earn equivalenciesin four to six disciplines. For example,
you might be awarded credit in history,
mathematics, science and writing for your
work in a single coordinated studies
program.

Evaluation Evergreen's grading system
consists of a narrative evaluation of a
student's academic work at the end of
each quarter. Faculty members write
evaluations of each student's work and
progress, and each student writes a selfevaluation. These become official
documents, making up your permanent
transcript. Students also write evaluations
of faculty members, which become part of
the faculty member's official portfolio.
Evaluation Conference A quarterly conference in which a faculty member and a
student discusstheir evaluations of the
student's work. Conferences occur during
Evaluation Week, the 11th and final week
of each quarter.

Faculty Sponsor A student's primary
instructor during a quarter in a group
contract, individual contract or internship.
Field Trips Trips off campus are often
integrated into the schedule of program
activities - just like lectures, seminars,
etc.
First Peoples At Evergreen, First Peoples
refers to people of color - often
referred to as minorities. The name
recognizes the unique indigenous
heritages of all people of color. See First
Peoples' Advising Serviceson page 20
and the First Peoples' Recruitment staff
on page 27.

At KAOS Community Radio, students line up to create an eclectic mix of weekly shows. And if print is your medium of
choice, there's the Cooper Point Journal, the weekly student newspaper, and Slightly West, the literary magazine.

Day and night, the Computer Center buzzes with quiet intensity as students pursue projects on more than 100 Macintosh
and PC computers. In the Graphics Imaging Lab, students manipulate digital images. In the Computer Applications Lab,
they use computers as scientific tools, acquiring and crunching data and building maps from databases.

Evergreen prides itself on providing resources for student research and projects - whether that involves searching through
books, periodicals, films, recordings and on-line databases in the Library, staring down the barrel of a microscope in the
science labs or making a documentary with equipment from Media Loan.
Geoduck The campus mascot - a legacy
from our early humorists - is an oversized clam native to this area and noted
for digging deep and fast.
Governance An ongoing demonstration
of our commitment to working together
to make decisions. Students participate in
governance along with staff and faculty
members, usually through a DTF.

Individual Learning Contract An individual
study plan agreed to by a student and a
faculty sponsor. May include readings,
writing, photography, painting, field
studies and research - whatever suits your
academic needs and interests. Requires
well-defined goals, self-discipline, lots of
motivation and the ability to work with
minimal supervision. For advanced
students and available only in limited
numbers.

Internships Supervised experience in a
work situation for which a student
receives academic credit. Internships
require advance planning through
Academic Advising.

Interdisciplinary Study Many Evergreen
programs involve study in three or more
disciplines, and all require some crossdisciplinary work. You may find yourself
learning about science and art in the same
program, or about social science and
human development, or combining history
with exploration of literature.

Part-Time Studies Evening and weekend
offerings that include half-time interdisciplinary programs and two-, four- and sixcredit courses on specific subjects.

Part-Time Programs Half-time (8 credit)
evening and weekend programs designed
for working adults and others who cannot
attend daytime classesto earn credit
toward a bachelor's degree.

Greener Short for Evergreener.

Charting your own course doesn't mean going it alone. Evergreen faculty and the advisors at Academic Advising will help
you design an academic pathway. And at Academic Fairs you can meet with faculty members to gather information
about
their programs.

From the central campus, where buildings never rise above the surrounding trees, you can follow forested trails to the
beach or the Organic Farm. Or board a college sailboat to explore Puget Sound. Forest, sound and farm are all living
laboratories (and the Farmhouse is an inviting venue for potlucks and other events).

Student athletes enjoy intercollegiate
competition
in soccer, basketball, swimming and tennis, plus intramural
leagues and club rugby. Recreation opportunities
include climbing walls, a swimming pool and diving well, weight
racquetball courts, sailing and kayaking, and rental equipment is available for outdoor pursuits.
Planning Unit An interdisciplinary grouping of Evergreen faculty interested in a
specificset of disciplines or issues.Faculty
in each Planning Unit meet regularly to
plan curriculum and often teach together.
Prior Learning From Experience Also
known as PLE.Practical knowledge of a
subject that is the equivalent of academic
learning in that field, and for which
Evergreen may award academic credit.
Programs To distinguish our multidisciplinary and full- or half-time offerings
from coursesor classesat other institutions, we use the term "programs."

Retreat Many academic programs go on
retreats, often off campus, for secluded
work on a particular project or the finale
to an entire year's studies.
Self-Evaluation Your evaluation of your
academic work as measured against your
objectives for the quarter and the
requirements of your program, contract
or internship. Student self-evaluations are
part of formal academic records.
Seminars A central experience of an
Evergreen education. Seminar participants meet to discussassigned readings.
The group, a faculty member and 22 to 25
students, prepares by reading and
analyzing the material to be discussed.

faculty wanted the college to function as
a community, so they wrote their ideas
about social ethics and working together
into the Social Contract. See page 22.

Public Service at Evergreen

Student Governance

Student Organizations

Evergreen operates four public-service
organizations funded by the Washington
Legislature to carry out functions related to
the educational and service missions of the
college.
The Evergreen Center for Educational
Improvement focuses on providing educational opportunities and outreach to K-12
programs and schools. Through innovative
partnerships, joint planning, information
exchanges, workshops and conferences, the
Evergreen Center collaborates with the K-12
community throughout the state. The center's
principal foci are curriculum development
through integration, classroom assessment of
learning and organizational change.
The Evergreen State College Labor
Education and Research Center, established in
1987, offers credit and non-credit classes in
labor education, labor economics, political
economy and labor organizing to undergraduate students, union members and residents of
Washington state. The center designs and
implements union-initiated and centersponsored programs throughout the year. The
center also provides internships for students
interested in working in the labor movement
and sponsors a part-time labor studies class
on Saturdays. The Labor Center is located in
Library 2102, (360) 866-6000, ext. 6525.
The Washington Center for Improving the
Quality of Undergraduate Education was
established in 1985 and includes 46 participating institutions - all of the state's public
four-year institutions and community colleges,
10 independent colleges and one tribal college.
The Washington Center focuses on highereducation reform and helps institutions share
and more effectively utilize existing resources
by supporting the development of interdisciplinary "learning community" programs and
other curriculum-reform projects; facilitating
faculty exchanges; holding workshops and
conferences; and providing technical
assistance on effective approaches to teaching
and learning.
The Washington State Institute for Public
Policy, established in 1983, undertakes
research studies, sponsors conferences,
publishes newsletters and otherwise promotes
the flow of applied research on key publicpolicy issues to the Washington State
Legislature and state agencies.

There has never been a permanent student
governance structure at The Evergreen State
College. Nevertheless, students have played an
important role in the ongoing governance of
the college. Through participation in
"disappearing task forces" and standing
committees students ensure that their voices
and thoughts are included in decisions made
by the college.
Students interested in being informed of
and involved with such efforts may contact
the Office of the Vice President for Student
Affairs, Library 3236, (360) 866-6000, ext.
6296.

In addition to providing financial support
to the College Recreation Center, Child Care
Center, Cooper Point Journal, KAOS-FM and
the Student Activities Administration, Service
and Activities fees fund a broad range of
student organizations. These student groups
enhance the college community with the many

Mission Statement
The Evergreen State College is a public, liberal arts college serving Washington state. Its
mission is to help students realize their potential through innovative, interdisciplinary
educational programs in the arts, humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences. In
addition to preparing students within their academic fields, Evergreen provides graduates
with the fundamental
and independently

skills to communicate, to solve problems, and to work collaboratively

in addressing real issuesand problems. This mission is based on a set of

principles that underlie the development of all college programs and services.

Principles that guide Evergreen's educational programs:
• Teaching is the central work of the faculty at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Supporting student learning engages everyone at Evergreen-faculty and staff.
• Academic offerings are interdisciplinary and collaborative, a
structure that accurately reflects how people learn and work in their
occupations and personal lives.

I-

• Students are taught to be aware of what they know, how they
learn, and how to apply what they know; this allows them to be
responsible for their own education, both at college and throughout
their lives.

• College offerings require active participation in learning, rather
than passive reception of information, and integrate theory with
practical applications.
• Evergreen supports community-based learning, with research and
applications focused on issues and problems found within students'
communities. This principle, as well as the desire to serve diverse
place bound populations, guides Evergreen's community-based
programs at Tacoma and Tribal Reservations.
• Because learning is enhanced when topics are examined from the
perspectives of diverse groups and because such differences reflect
the world around us, the college strives to create a rich mix in the
composition of its student body, staff, and faculty, and to give
serious consideration to issues of social class, age, race, ethnicity,
gender, and sexual orientation.
• Faculty and staff continually review, assess and modify programs
and services to fit changing needs of students and society.
As evidenced by these principles, an important part of Evergreen's educational mission is engagement
with the community, the state, and the nation. One focus of this engagement is through the work of
public service centers that both disseminate the best work of the college and bring back to the college the
best ideas of the wider community.

Trailways bus companies and Amtrak.
Evergreen and the state capital are just a
short, scenic drive from most Western
Washington cities and major points of
interest.

How to Get Here
Whether you are coming from the north or
south, you can reach the campus by taking
Interstate 5 into Olympia and then turning
onto Highway 101 at Exit 104. Follow 101
west for three miles to The Evergreen State
College exit and go another two miles on
Evergreen Parkway to the campus entrance
(on the left).
