This series of conversations begins with LLC Affiliate faculty member Dr. Denise Meringolo on Friday, September 24 at 12 online.

Radical Roots: Uncovering Histories of a Social Justice in Public History

Historic sites, museums, archives, and monuments are neither neutral nor objective. Many were established to strengthen tradition, reinforce the cultural authority of elites, and inhibit change. Today, these sites have become the focal point of protest, symbols in a larger fight for inclusiveness and equality. In this talk, Dr. Denise Meringolo identifies different, less well-documented forms of public history practice, drawing attention to individuals who understood collecting, preserving, analyzing, and interpreting the past as entirely compatible with –even necessary for—productive political discourse, and embraced the potential of their work to promote social justice.

Maybe you're looking forward to seeing the cherry trees bloom along the Tidal Basin this spring during the Cherry Blossom Festival? 

As part of its promotion for the Charmpass app, the MTA is offering app users a free 'six pack' of one-way fares on the MARC train service, which can be used for travel any time between now and September 2022. These tickets would cost $48 total out of pocket, so this is an excellent opportunity for savings! 

MARC trains run regularly between Baltimore and DC every day of the week, and have two stops near campus: some trains stop at the Halethorpe station, or you can take UMBC transit to the BWI MARC station, which is a busier station and has staff to assist you if you need it. 

The promotion ends this Friday night, September 24, so be sure to sign up soon if you are interested! 

More information about the program, including how to sign up, is available on the MTA's website: https://www.mta.maryland.gov/charmpass-promotion

This fall, the CADVC presents Annet Couwenberg: Sewing Circles, on display from September 30 through December 11. 

The exhibition presents an overview of ten years of cultural research, digital experimentation, and finished artifacts by Couwenberg, who uses lace as a primary material. Through her creations, the artist asks how traditional textile construction can be modified or transformed by adapting it to digital fabrication processes. 

Reserve your tickets for the opening reception on Thursday, September 30 at 5pm today: https://bit.ly/3tWhHEm

Learn about grad school!

We seek applications from students of underrepresented groups of all kinds, including first-generation college students. 


The Emerging Scholars Conference enables undergraduate students to discuss their research -- whether completed or in progress -- in a scholarly (but low-pressure) setting that exposes them to the world of academic exchange at a professional level. Past conferences have been successful events, as students presented on a wide range of topics and methods that reflect early forays into original social science scholarship. 


Since circumstances do not permit an in-person event this year, we will host a virtual conference with multiple sessions over a day and a half later this fall (Nov. 18-19, 2021). Invited scholars will participate in panels to discuss their research and will receive constructive feedback from faculty and graduate student discussants, as well as other audience members. In other sessions, students will receive advice on applying to Ph.D. programs and have the chance to talk with current students about life in graduate school. 


Applications aredueFriday, October 8 at 2pm EST. We request the following materials: 


(1) completion of the brief online application form, including a brief statement on how the applicant would bring novel or underrepresented perspectives to political science; 

(2) a transcript (an unofficial copy is fine); 

(3) title and abstract of the research project the student plans to discuss; 

(4) a brief writing sample; and

(5) a letter of endorsement from the student’s faculty advisor that speaks both to the student’s promise for doctoral study and how the student will strengthen the diversity of the field. This letter may be submitted separately via email to psgradinfo@umich.edu.


Students should first complete the brief online form (https://forms.gle/vYcrQxei4qRVHnVT9), which will offer an opportunity to upload the other materials. Materials may also be submitted via email (psgradinfo@umich.edu) with the subject heading “Emerging Scholars.” If they wish, students may also include a current resume or curriculum vitae.


We anticipate making decisions and issuing invitations on or about Monday, October 18.Questions about the application process may directed to Megan Gosling, our Graduate Program Coordinator, at psgradinfo@umich.edu or 734-764-9598.
