Join the GAC on Thurs., Jan. 14 from 11:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. in the PUB 9208 for Dean Amy Kinsel’s talk, Immigration & Refugees: We’ve seen this Newsreel Before.
Anti-immigrant rhetoric has filled the airwaves during the early months of the 2016 presidential race, especially since Syrian refugees began pouring into Europe and terrorist attacks shook Paris, Beirut, and other places. But this rhetoric is not new. Despite its reputation for welcoming the “huddled masses” to our shores, U.S. immigration and refugee policies have served to shut doors to tens of thousands of desperate “tempest-tossed” people seeking safe haven from religious, political, and military strife.
In this talk, Dean Amy J. Kinsel shares some of the reasons the U.S. has shut the door to immigrants and refugees in the past and compares past American immigration and refugee policies to the situation today.

THE FREE ELWHA exhibit is on now through Feb. 5
Join us for an Artists’ Reception for this exhibit on Thurs., Jan. 14 – 5-7 p.m.
Campus Art Gallery (1000 bldg. lobby)
Shoreline faculty, Lauren Greathouse and Claire Putney, present an exhibition of photographic works that focus on the history, evolution and recovery of the Elwha River, located on the Olympic Peninsula. This series of images is not merely about a free river, but part of a larger investigation of the human desire to domesticate the landscape and control natural resources in ways that benefit human existence. This exhibition references the history of the dams as well as the current reclamation of wildlife habitats and river ecosystems. While the removal of these dams deeply engages social, cultural and political systems, the visual power of the physical landscape documented by Greathouse and Putney speaks to the intimate connection between its human and natural history.
