Meet Samar Ahmed INDS Spring 2021 Graduate Highlight Series B.A. INDS: Environmental Impacts on Public Health

Degree Mentors

Why did you choose to major in INDS?
Before transferring to UMBC I was unsure what major to choose. I was attracted to the INDS program because it gave me the opportunity to tailor my undergraduate experience to exactly what I wanted. The INDS program taught me how to use an interdisciplinary approach to understanding how the environment affects health. Through my course work, I am able to incorporate the knowledge and skills that are necessary for me to be successful in my future career. I am grateful to the INDS staff and faculty for their continued support throughout this process.

What are your plans for after graduation, and how do you see using your INDS degree?
After graduating I plan on pursuing a career in the field of Public Health. I am interested in a career where I am able to apply research and grassroots efforts that work towards solving environmental health crises in underserved and underprivileged communities. Additionally, I plan on pursuing a graduate degree in the near future.

***Repost from the Department of Undergraduate Research***


Decriminalizing (and Re-Humanizing) the ‘Squeegee Kid’

Sydney Fryer
Mentor: Dena Aufseeser, Geography and Environmental Systems

Squeegee Kids are young people between the ages of 10-25 that clean windshields in Baltimore city for a small fee. Their informal but infamous work has been seen as entrepreneurial, hazardous, or criminal over the years. This project uses discourse analysis to analyze and understand the dangerous rhetoric often used to describe these young people and the historical racism that has led to this rhetoric. It also seeks to allow these young people a chance to redefine themselves through a series of interviews. This is all in the hope that, through a more humanizing approach to understanding these ‘Squeegee Kids’, their work, and the reason for it, there can be a more humane discussion around their place in Baltimore city.

This work was funded, in part, through an Undergraduate Research Award from the UMBC Division of Undergraduate Academic Affairs, and a Social Science Undergraduate Research Award from the Center for Social Science Scholarship.

DaMaris B. Hill, Associate Professor of Creative Writing, English, and African American Studies, University of Kentucky

In Conversation with Keegan Cook Finberg, Assistant Professor of English, and Affiliate Faculty in Gender, Women’s, + Sexuality Studies and Language, Literacy & Culture, UMBC

DaMaris B. Hill will read from and speak about her poetry collection, A Bound Woman Is a Dangerous Thing, a narrative-in-verse that bears witness to American women of color burdened by incarceration. In A Bound Woman Is a Dangerous Thing, Hill presents bitter, unflinching history that artfully captures the personas of these captivating, bound yet unbridled African-American women. Hill’s passionate odes to Zora Neale Hurston, Lucille Clifton, Fannie Lou Hamer, Grace Jones, Eartha Kitt, and others also celebrate the modern-day inheritors of their load and light, binding history, author, and reader in an essential legacy of struggle.

Speaker bio: DaMaris B. Hill is the author of A Bound Woman Is a Dangerous Thing: The Incarceration of African American Women from Harriet Tubman to Sandra Bland (2020 NAACP Image Award nominee for Outstanding Literary Work in Poetry), The Fluid Boundaries of Suffrage and Jim Crow: Staking Claims in the American Heartland, and \Vi-zə-bəl\ \Teks-chərs\(Visible Textures). She has a keen interest in the work of Toni Morrison and theories regarding ‘rememory’ as a philosophy and aesthetic practice. Similar to her creative process, Hill’s scholarly research is interdisciplinary. Hill is an Associate Professor of Creative Writing at the University of Kentucky.

Sponsored by the Dresher Center for the Humanities, the Department of English, and the Department of Africana Studies.

***Reposted from the ORPC***

The ORPC has obtained for the campus community a CITI training module that describes investigators responsibilities for research using Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) data. 

The aim of FERPA is to protect the privacy of students by giving them (and their parents if they are minors) access to their educational records and control over the disclosure of this information to third parties.  Data holders (organizations that would provide access to such data, including UMBC) as well as the IRB will have specific requirements on how data may be used, who may have access, etc.  Such requirements are documented in data use agreements and approved human subjects use applications.

This module provides details on topics including: 
  • Recognizing current issues and challenges to FERPA
  • Identifying the level of risk in using different types of student data for research
  • Employing safe methods in the collection and analysis of student data as well as the best way to collect, handle, and analyze student records in compliance with FERPA
  • Discussing proper ways to present student data without disclosing private information
  • Describing ways to remain compliant with FERPA requirements in human subjects research.
To register for CITI and/or add this course to your active course, follow the instructions found on the Human Subjects Use Training page.

 If you have any questions, please contact the ORPC at compliance@umbc.edu.

Dr. Rebeca Gamez’s research interests include relational and comparative race and ethnicity, space and place, immigration, and educational inequality, with a focus on how racialized and minoritized youth navigate their schooling, learning, and ethnoracial identities. Additionally, she has a broader interest in English Language Arts teaching and curriculum, teacher education, and critical qualitative research methodologies. She was an American Educational Research Association (AERA) Minority Dissertation Fellow. Prior to earning her doctorate in Education at Johns Hopkins University, she was a middle school literacy teacher in Trenton, New Jersey. She also has extensive experience in grassroots community organizing around financial justice, immigrant rights, and educational equity issues. 

Dr. Gamez will teach two courses this fall for LLC, as well as contribute to programmatic activities and initiatives.

 

LLC 610: Identity as Cultural Practice, Thursdays 4:30 – 7:00 pm (hybrid mode)

In this course we will define, discuss, and study identity as a cultural practice from the perspective of many disciplines and interdisciplinary fields involved in LLC. From theoretical explorations of the complexities and challenges in current identity scholarship and research to methodological approaches across the disciplines to the praxis of identity research, we will engage in a collaborative inquiry on how identity can be understood as a cultural practice anchored in particular times and spaces. 

Contact esteenrod@umbc.edu for course permission.

 

LLC 650: Ethnographic Methods, Mondays 4:30 – 7:00 pm (hybrid mode)

In this course, we will cover theoretical perspectives, research techniques and design, data management and analysis, and ethical questions pertinent to ethnographic research and qualitative research more broadly. Additionally, we will explore how to engage in ethnographic research in contemporary times, where the arrival of COVID-19 presents new obstacles to conducting ethnographic and qualitative research. Students will also have the opportunity to conduct original qualitative research as it relates to language, literacy, and culture.

We enthusiastically welcome Dr. Gamez to the LLC Doctoral Program! It is our good fortune to work with this up-and-coming scholar whose research background intersects with many of our students’ interests.
