I hope this note finds you well this afternoon. My name is Brian Souders, and my main role at UMBC is directing study abroad programs. One of my roles at UMBC is to manage the Student U.S. Fulbright Program. I have captured many American Studies majors for either research Fulbright awards or English Teaching Assistantships through study abroad or through work with the Honors College or merit scholarship programs. However, a more active approach can help capture those students whom I may otherwise miss.

Ideally I am looking for juniors, 3.7 GPA and above, who may have an international focus and who are intellectually curious.

The Student  U.S. Fulbright Program for English Teaching Assistant awards is particularly interested in American Studies majors who are capable of acting as U.S. cultural ambassadors, explaining the US to people who may have very limited direct exposure to Americans. For these positions, teaching or tutoring experience is preferred, but not required.

Thanks in advance for your help. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Best wishes,
Brian

It provides model curriculum materials that apply the principles of EcoJustice Education, giving pre- and in-service teachers the ability to review examples of specific secondary and post-secondary classroom assignments, lessons, discussion prompts, and strategies that encourage students to think critically about how modern problems of sustainability and environmental destruction have developed, their root causes, and how they can be addressed. The author describes instructional methods she uses when teaching each lesson and shares insights from evaluations of the materials in her classroom and by other teachers. Interspersed between lessons is commentary about the rationale behind the materials and observations about their effect on students.

The interdisciplinary courses will guide students in place-based cultural and historical examinations of Baltimore’s residents and neighborhoods to explore the productive linkages and gaps between different disciplines. Involvement in the courses will give students experience in applied learning and civic engagement, while developing professional portfolios for work. ]]>

Marketed by the Smithsonian Channel as “one of the most influential musicians you’ve never known,” Lead Belly’s legacy can be heard in the grooves of Led Zeppelin III, seen in Nirvana’s MTV Unplugged performance, or echoed in cavernous ballparks, where Ram Jam’s “Black Betty” plays as a relief pitcher warms up. But beyond his influence on (mainly white) musical artists, the collection is significant because it shows how Lead Belly defied the racial categories of blues and country (as black music and white music, respectively) – stereotypes established by the burgeoning record industry of the Jim Crow era that persist today.

On May 17, 1968, nine Catholic activists entered a Selective Service office in suburban Catonsville, Maryland, dragged stacks of draft records outside, and set them on fire with homemade napalm. They then prayed and waited to be arrested. Between 1967-1972, there were hundreds of civil disobedience actions against U.S. draft boards and the Dow Chemical Co., resulting in the destruction of hundreds of thousands of 1-A draft files and the orderly process of the U.S. government's ability to wage war in Vietnam. Hit & Stay is the story of the action community and the raids they staged that turned priests, nuns, and college students into fugitives and targets of the FBI.
