An interview with Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson and King County Executive Girmay Zahilay about their progressive approaches to politics and policies – and what those actions mean for the Puget Sound region.

Seattle University’s College of Arts and Sciences presents the Spring 2026 Conversations program with Zahilay and Wilson on Tuesday April 14, at 4 p.m, in Pigott Auditorium on campus.

Zahilay and Wilson have been in office only a few months. This conversation, sponsored by the SU Department of Public Affairs and Nonprofit Leadership, presents a unique opportunity to hear from both leading progressives about how they plan to guide the city and county in the coming months and years. What changes will they make? What changes have they already achieved? Will their visions prevail — or be derailed?

This new generation of leaders are making decisions every day that affect the lives of people in King County, not always pursuing predictable progressive approaches to problems. Listen in as they discuss what they are doing - listening, learning and taking pragmatic steps to deliver services throughout the region.

Join the conversation to hear answers to questions like how often Wilson and Zahilay talk and how they work together. Do their interests always align or sometimes collide? How do they manage any conflicts? We will find out!

The interview will be conducted by Joni Balter, journalist and Seattle University professional-in-residence, and SU graduate student Ari Winter, now pursuing her masters degree at Seattle University in public administration.

April 14th at 4 p.m. in Pigott Auditorium at Seattle University. Free and open to the public. Please RSVP.

* There will be a security screening for large bags at the entrance. To help facilitate a smooth entry, please do not bring large bags, such as backpacks, if possible.

Join Dr. C. Malik Boykin, Social Psychologist and Assistant Professor at Brown University, for a riveting conversation on how various major institutions, such as healthcare and criminal justice, embed Artificial Intelligence into everyday life without the public having the opportunity to meaningfully evaluate the values embedded within A.I.

Dr. Boykin will discuss how there is no single definition of algorithmic fairness and will introduce to the audience a new approach for studying how people reason about these trade-offs. The method allows researchers to observe how individuals translate moral intuitions into concrete algorithmic preferences.

Q&A Session: There will be a post-lecture question & answer session held in Sinegal Center for Science and Innovation Room 110 from 4:00pm – 5:00pm. This session is open to all.

Read a more detailed description and learn more about Dr. Malik Boykin below.

Sponsored by Technology Ethics Initiative and The College of Arts & Sciences, Department of Psychology.

Talk description:

Artificial intelligence is increasingly embedded in the institutions that structure everyday life. Systems now influence decisions about hiring, lending, healthcare, and criminal justice. Yet while these technologies shape social outcomes, the public rarely has an opportunity to meaningfully evaluate the values embedded within them.

A central challenge is that there is no single definition of algorithmic fairness. In fact, many commonly proposed fairness metrics are mathematically incompatible. Choosing one approach over another, therefore, reflects not only a technical decision but a moral and institutional one. In this talk, Dr. Malik Boykin introduces a new approach for studying how people reason about these trade-offs.

Using interactive data visualizations, participants explore machine learning models with varying fairness properties and indicate which outcomes they consider most fair. The method allows researchers to observe how individuals translate moral intuitions into concrete algorithmic preferences. Results from a preregistered validation study show that conceptual understanding of machine learning strongly predicts how people interpret fairness trade-offs. Individuals who better understand the underlying concepts are more consistent in their judgments and more likely to favor fairness criteria that equalize certain forms of algorithmic harm.

At the same time, greater understanding is associated with lower levels of trust in machine learning systems. Together, these findings suggest that algorithmic literacy plays an important role in shaping how people evaluate AI-mediated decisions. More broadly, this work introduces a psychometrically validated framework for measuring public judgments of algorithmic fairness and offers a pathway to incorporate public values into debates on AI governance and institutional accountability.

Speaker bio:

Dr. C. Malik Boykin is a social psychologist whose work examines how people understand fairness, bias, and identity in the institutions that shape everyday life. His research spans intergroup relations, prejudice, mentorship, and the growing role of artificial intelligence in decision-making. In an interdisciplinary collaboration, he studies how people interpret the trade-offs embedded in algorithmic systems and what those judgments reveal about social values.

Boykin is an Assistant Professor at Brown University. Before joining the faculty, he served as a Presidential Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Cognitive, Linguistic, and Psychological Sciences. His research combines approaches from social psychology, data science, and psychometrics to examine how people evaluate algorithmic decisions. Questions of trust, legitimacy, and perceived fairness are threaded throughout this work.

Boykin’s research has been supported by organizations including the Ford Foundation Fellowship Program, the National Science Foundation, the Greater Good Science Center, and the Society for Multivariate Experimental Psychology.

Outside academia, Boykin is also a hip-hop artist who performs under the name, Malik Starx. In classrooms, research talks, and live performances, he moves between scholarship and rhythm to spark conversations about persistence, identity, and the social consequences of emerging technologies.

China and India: Conflict and Cooperation in the (De)Globalization Era

The relations between Asian giants China and India have been characterized by a mixture of conflict and cooperation. Since the 1962 territorial dispute, there have been intermittent flare-ups with no clear end in sight. However, India and China seem to agree on many issues such as trade, global financial reforms and climate change. This talk explores the multifaceted causes of the peculiar contours of this “managed rivalry.” A broad range of topics such as territory dispute, status, resources, conceptions of regional and world order, strategic culture, balance of power and deterrence strategies will be analyzed. The mitigating role of asymmetrical economic interdependence adopted by the two states as well as their common membership in institutions such as BRICS, SCO and G20 have helped periodic crises from escalating into wars. The China-India relationship is likely to shape 21st century international politics and the Indo-Pacific regional order profoundly.

Singing the Archipelago: A Collection of Art Song & Arias from the Philippines

Music and song serve not only as an expression of faith and love, but also as a means of cultural transmission, identity formation, and the construction of the Catholic Imagination within Filipino culture. This research seeks to illuminate some of the information, cultural context, and materials singers and vocal pedagogues need to perform and program Filipino art songs and arias, and will culminate in live performances in partnership with Seattle Opera.

Scaling Up Community Water Management in Colombia and Costa Rica to Address Climatic and Socioeconomic Threats to Drinking Water.

Our study aims to investigate how community-based water associations in Colombia and Costa Rica are forming regional federations to address threats to their water supply. We will assess the strengths and obstacles of these federations and identify ways in which policymakers and international organizations can better support them in safeguarding their communal water systems

Relational Narratives and Inclusive Selves

Historically, Western philosophers have understood the self in terms of individualistic attributes or capacities, such as rationality or autonomy. However, in recent times, feminist philosophers have introduced a relational conception of the self. Building on narrative views of the self, the relational view holds that the narratives of other people contribute to our sense of self. This work explores the benefits and challenges of a relational view of the self.

David Kwon, PhD

Everyday Ethics and Everyday Practices: Asian and Asian American Theological Perspectives

This presentation introduces an edited volume project I am developing that explores how everyday ethical practices—such as care, relationality, and community engagement—serve as important sites for theological reflection in Asian and Asian American contexts. The project highlights how lived practices shape moral discernment and contribute to broader conversations in Christian ethics, Catholic thought, and interreligious dialogue.

All are welcome. Lunch will be provided.

Keynote: Dr. Carolyn Woo, former CEO of Catholic Relief Services

In 1972, Carolyn Woo came from Hong Kong to Purdue University as a foreign student with only one year of funding. With scholarships and fellowships, she was able to complete her Bachelors, Masters, and Ph.D. in Strategy by 1979. After two years in industry, she was recruited back to the Purdue faculty. Soon after promotion to full professor, she was drafted into administration, fi rst as director of the Master’s programs in Business, and then as Associate Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs. Under her leadership, the Master’s program achieved a top twenty ranking in BusinessWeek, and she was cited as one of the TOP FORTY LEADERS UNDER FORTY by Change Magazine.

From 1997 to 2011, Carolyn served as dean of the Mendoza College at the University of Notre Dame, focusing on the quality of teaching, curricula innovations, placement of students, and embedding ethics in all business disciplines. These eff orts resulted in #1 rankings for the undergraduate program from Bloomberg/BusinessWeek. She was elected as the first female chair of AACSB International and led the launch of the Principles for Responsible Management program with the United Nations.

Carolyn then joined Catholic Relief Services as CEO from 2012 to 2016. CRS undertakes humanitarian relief and sustainable development in over one hundred countries, serving over a hundred million people each year. CRS designs and implements over a thousand programs annually to reduce poverty, diminish risk, and foster prosperity. The areas include emergency relief, micro-fi nance, health systems, childhood development, education, agricultural productivity, empowerment of women, refugees' resettlement, peace-building, capacity building of partners and benefi ciaries, and impact assessment. In 2013, she was recognized as one of the 500 Most Powerful People on the Planet by Foreign Policy Magazine and one of thirty in the category of A Force for Good.

Carolyn is a member of the boards of AON (UK) and Arabesque (Germany) and on the International Advisory Group of Equinor (Norway). These enterprises cover global risk management, regulated utilities, AI-driven socially responsible investing, as well as fossil-based and clean energy. Her former corporate board service includes fi ve public companies in community banking, utilities, pharmaceutical distribution, electronic retail, and automotive manufacturing. Nonprofi t boards,past and present, have included universities, K12 education, large health systems, faith-based media, and leadership development institutes. Most recently, she coordinated the Vatican Dialogues on Energy Transition, which convened CEOs of energy and the world’s largest investment companies in conversation with each other and the Holy Father.

Carolyn is recognized for her teaching, research, service, and leadership through various awards and honorary doctorates. She also received the top honor for her column on spirituality by the Catholic Press Association. Carolyn is the author of two books, "Working for a Better World" and "Rising: Learning from Women's Leadership in Catholic Ministries." She is married to Dr. David Bartkus and they have two sons, Ryan and Justin Bartkus.

Governing AI is about getting AI right. Building upon AI scholarship in science and technology studies, technology law, business ethics, and computer science, it documents potential risks and actual harms associated with AI, lists proposed solutions to AI-related problems around the world, and assesses their impact. Professor Bakiner’s book presents a vast range of theoretical debates and empirical evidence to document how and how well technical solutions, business self-regulation, and legal regulation work. It is a call to think inside and outside the box. Technical solutions, business self-regulation, and especially legal regulation can mitigate and even eliminate some of the potential risks and actual harms arising from the development and use of AI. However, the long-term health of the relationship between technology and society depends on whether ordinary people are empowered to participate in making informed decisions to govern the future of technology – AI included.

This event features brief remarks by Provost Shane Martin at around 5:30pm, Professor Bakiner’s book talk starting around 5:45pm, networking opportunities, and refreshments.

We will experiment and explore biomaterials in fashion and textile design with Brenda.

Brenda’s practice sits between garment, sculpture, and material research, using biomaterials as autonomous systems that shape silhouette, movement, and meaning. They develop sea moss and alginate based leathers, testing pigments and substrates to produce controlled shifts in texture, translucency, and tone. Rather than hiding process, their work preserves traces of gravity, tension, seams, and joins, treating construction as both structure and visual language. Sustainability is approached through method as much as material, with an emphasis on iterative prototyping, low waste workflows, and upcycling residual fragments into finished looks. They aim to expand biomaterials beyond “fabric substitutes,” positioning them as expressive, durable surfaces suitable for real wear and performance contexts. Ultimately, their goal is to build a vocabulary of biomaterial garments that move between intimacy and spectacle while remaining technically resolved.

Seattle University’s College of Nursing and Health Sciences invites you to the annual Drs. Luth M. and Narciso P. Tenorio Endowed Lectureship, featuring journalist and author Julia Hotz, whose book “The Connection Cure—The Prescriptive Power of Movement, Nature, Art, Service, and Belonging,” was the first to chronicle the science and stories of social prescribing.

Around the world, health care professionals are expanding what it means to treat a patient. Instead of solely pharmaceutical prescriptions, they are offering "social prescriptions"—referrals to non-clinical, community-based activities and resources like painting classes and dance lessons.

This lecture introduces the principles and practice of social prescribing, tracing its origins in the United Kingdom and exploring its growing relevance for health systems in the United States. Learn about the evidence behind social prescribing and the role diverse health professions can play to integrate this model into American health care, as well as the importance of rather than asking “What's the matter with you?” the importance of asking “What matters to you?”

Prior to the program, guests are invited to enjoy a poster presentation showcasing scholarly work by Seattle University faculty and students.

Event Schedule

4:00 p.m. | Registration & Poster Presentations with Light Refreshments

5:00-6:15 p.m. | Event Program

Dr. David Tinius joined Seattle University in 1971 and was a beloved instructor for thousands of accounting students. He taught courses in management accounting and controllership, with his controllership course serving as a capstone experience for many undergraduate accounting majors. Dr. Tinius was widely admired by students and alumni for his sense of humor, accessibility, deep knowledge of the profession, and unwavering commitment to student success. His research on management controls and accounting history appeared in journals including the Journal of Accountancy, Management Accounting, and Managerial Finance.

Dr. Tinius also made extraordinary contributions through his service to the university and the accounting profession. He served as chair of the Department of Accounting for 18 years between 1977 and 2003, helping position the program for national recognition. During his tenure, he oversaw the development of the Master of Professional Accounting degree and helped raise significant support for accounting students and programs. He played a key role in launching the department’s tax preparation program for low-income community members and helped establish the Northwest Accounting Educators Conference. He also founded the department’s first advisory board, which also was the first advisory board on campus.

Nationally, Dr. Tinius served as president of Beta Alpha Psi and was recognized as an Outstanding Beta Alpha Psi Faculty Advisor. He was also a co-founder of the Pacioli Society, created to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the publication of the first treatise on double-entry bookkeeping by Luca Pacioli.

Gifts in memory of Dr. Tinius can be directed to the David E. Tinius Professorship in Accounting.
