Once ramshackle affairs held together with duct tape and wire, <em>matatus</em> today are name-brand vehicles maxed out with aftermarket detailing. This talk will focus on the various ways in which <em>matatus</em> offer a window onto the socioeconomic and political conditions of post-colonial Kenya. In their diversity of idiosyncratic designs, they reflect multiple and divergent aspects of Kenyan life—including, for example, rapid urbanization, organized crime, entrepreneurship, social insecurity, the transition to democracy, and popular culture—at once embodying Kenya’s staggering social problems as well as the bright promises of its future.</div><div><br></div><div><strong>This event is part of the Dresher Center for the Humanities' Fall 2021 Humanities Forum.</strong></div><div><br></div><div>UMBC is committed to creating an accessible and inclusive environment for all faculty, staff, students, and visitors.

<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><p>Hi all,</p><p>The GSA is attempting to gather preferences of GSOs in regards to their requesting of funds. In determining a more equitable distribution of funds, the GSA is considering reforms to how funds are granted to GSOs. Please complete one form per organization. Submitting the below information will assist the GSA in understanding how GSOs plan on using funding and will overall benefit GSO fund allocation. We would also like to see what funding GSOs are planning to use for the rest of the semester and Spring 2022. The budget you submit is not formal, nor is it required, but it would be helpful for the GSA to see what type of events/amount of funds organizations are anticipating using.</p><p> </p><p>The attached google form to submit is linked <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScpz1XuoNrPMh2vPXmsZh6SUsWlSTLF_Sd54Rmi5wrd_sNg0g/viewform?usp=sf_link" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">here</a>.

Please make a copy of this template and then upload it to the google form before submitting it.</p><p> </p><p>Please submit this form by <strong>Monday, October 25th at 5 pm  </strong></p><p> </p><p>Please forward any questions, comments, or concerns to the GSA at <a href="mailto:gsa@umbc.edu">gsa@umbc.edu</a>.</p></div>
