Community, Environment, and Planning (CEP) is an interdisciplinary Bachelor of Arts degree housed in the Department of Urban Design and Planning. Unlike most majors, CEP does not provide a pre-defined educational path. Instead, CEP empowers students to draw on the tools of planning – practice, personal formation, intentionality, communal learning, and stewardship – to pursue their own educational goals in the company of other self-directed students in cohorts limited to 38 students. The CEP core curriculum focuses on theory and practice applied to real-world settings; electives are satisfied by taking courses anywhere on campus. Students also participate in a governance process that supports the major and teaches students how to be effective leaders and doers in the world.

Enacting Housing JusticeThis project is a panel discussion and Q&A hosted by CEP in the College of Built Environments. The event is designed to expose CBE students to potential career paths in housing justice work. This panel is the third installment in our series on housing justice this school year. While prior panels focused on getting to know our houseless neighbors and challenging stigmas associated with houselessness, this panel focuses on the work being done to address housing insecurity. Career fields represented by panelists include low-income housing development, community organizing, social work, political office, policy and advocacy… By facilitating a dialogue about this work, we hope to inspire University of Washington students to pursue careers in the exciting field of affordable housing development, policy, and to encourage students, faculty and staff to think critically about how their professions impact the community and how they could enhance the social good.

Get to Know Our Neighbors: Challenging StigmasFollowing the success of our Q & A panel last quarter, CEP and the College of Built Environments are delighted to host another panel in our series on homelessness. This time we are shifting the spotlight onto experiences of homelessness that are the most stigmatized. We hope to foster a culture of empathy and challenge the narrative that some unhoused folks are more deserving of services and compassion than others. We are honored to host four panelists that have lived with these struggles and are willing to share their stories. The panel will be moderated by an accomplished housing justice advocate, Polly Trout of Patacara Community Services.
The goal of this project is to encourage University of Washington students, faculty, and staff to think critically about the impact that they have on the unhoused community, and to recognize that the common narrative is counterproductive. |

Get to Know Our Neighbors: Sweeps and Homelessness |
|
The goals we set at the beginning of the process of organizing this event were to raise awareness and catalyze dialogues about homelessness and the city Sweeps within the College of Built Environments(CBE) community. We were able to make space for some folks who have been experiencing homelessness. Therein they were able to explicate directly to CBE students and other guests what their lives have been like as a result of the city Sweeps and other institutional oppression. Collaboration took place between CEP, the Community Engagement Committee, Tent City Collective, and social justice organizer Simon Stephens.
This event had two components:
