The Translation Studies Hub at the University of Washington aims to further coalesce interest in translation on campus and beyond by building on existing and emergent faculty and graduate student research projects, courses, and initiatives.
A tri-campus trans studies research cluster that brings together cross-disciplinary scholars, artists, and leaders in conversation around the intersections between critical trans studies and trans knowledge production both inside and outside of the academy.
This research cluster seeks to develop practices of intentional kin-making across Black, Indigenous, and Diasporic communities by engaging abolition as a practice that builds up non-punitive and non-hierarchical forms of knowledge production.

The Conjecture, Other, Meet, Reckon, Acknowledge (C.O.M.R.A) group is a salon of international graduate students who are interested in decentering narratives around theatre, cinema, performance, visual arts, literature, and creative writing.
By focusing on the art versus craft divide, this group recognizes inequities and then identifies and implements solutions for artists, activists, curators, educators, and researchers in their respective practices.
Participants discuss research and writing strategies but also provide solicited feedback to one another to support success as interdisciplinary scholars of misrepresented populations and regions.
Founded in 2020, the Critical Humanities in Medical Education (CHIME) initiative unites a coalition of graduate students dedicated to raising critical consciousness in medical education.
