DXARTS strives to create a safe and welcoming community open to all people, regardless of race, nationality, sex, gender identity, age, religion, or economic status.
Open Curriculum
Unlike courses in other departments, DXARTS courses are open to all students and most of them don't require prior experience in the arts or technology. It is our commitment to keep our courses as accessible as possible to anyone who wants to take them. Please feel free to contact us in case you have any questions regarding our courses and how to enroll in them.
DXARTS Minor
In alignment with its open curriculum DXARTS has developed a non-competitive Minor. Any student who has taken enough credits from our curriculum could get a Minor in Digital Arts and Experimental Media. We also strive to integrate members of our Minor cohort into our artistic community. For more information please visit: https://dxarts.washington.edu/dxarts-minor
Open Source Tools
All our classes are taught using open source software and hardware. Some of these tools are developed by our faculty and research scientists. It is our commitment to share our creativity and innovation with people in our community and with the artistic community at large. Please feel free to get in contact with us in case you would be interested to be part of our research projects.
Voicing a Concern
In order to provide a safe environment to all its community members DXARTS has implemented a set of guidelines about how to voice a concern. These guidelines have been organized in two groups of options, for students and for faculty and staff.
For Students
1. Talk with your professor or advisor
You can meet with the professor teaching your class or with your advisor (in case you are a DXARTS PhD student) to discuss the concern and talk about follow up options.
2. Talk to the department’s Chair
If you prefer to voice your concern to the department, you can schedule a meeting to speak to the department Chair (Juan Pampin pampin@uw.edu). They are there to listen and support you in anything that might occur.
4. Talk to someone outside of the department
If you prefer to speak with someone outside of the department, consult the following list of available resources.
For Faculty and Staff
1. Set up a meeting with the person involved in the occurrence to discuss the issue
If you feel comfortable, set up a meeting. Take the time to listen, observe and note the occurrence that is being reported.
2. Talk to the department’s Chair
If you prefer to voice your concern to the department, you can schedule a meeting to speak to the department Chair (Juan Pampin pampin@uw.edu). They are there to listen and support you in anything that might occur.
3. Talk to someone outside of the department
If you prefer to speak with someone outside of the department, consult the following list of available resources.
Follow Up Expectations:
All concerns submitted to the department will be noted and followed up on. Depending on the concern and circumstances, an investigation may take place to gather information, and this may also require the voicing of the concern outside of the department to the UW at large. All concerns voiced will be brought up to the Chair of the department.
