I wanted to make you aware that the No Labels Youth Congress is currently accepting applications from now until January 15th. Check out their invitation to apply below:

We are accepting applications now until January 15th to the 2021-2022 session of the No Labels Youth Congress, an exclusive opportunity for young people to network with other future leaders across the country and gain the tools and inside experience they need to build a career in politics and civil service. Through a lens of bipartisanship/problem solving, Youth Congress delegates will receive a political education that cannot be found anywhere else, with an opportunity to gain experience across several disciplines, meet with politicians/top business leaders, and help build a grassroots movement across the country.

You will learn about the ins and outs of Washington firsthand, and at the end of the 21-22 session you will be entered into an exclusive resume bank, giving you access to a broad network of internship and job opportunities with campaigns, nonprofits, think tanks and other political organizations. www.nolabels.org/no-labels-youth-congress-call-for-applications-2

Asian Studies Students:

If you have not yet had an advising appointment and received registration clearance, now is the time! Remember: you do not have to register immediately; once cleared, you can sign up for classes at your convenience.  I highly recommend getting in to see an advisor before the end of the semester crunch starts in full force.

To make an appointment with me (Dr. Oyen), go here: https://calendly.com/oyen

You can also make an appointment to discuss future plans (like internships or study abroad), check in on issues or challenges that have emerged with online learning this fall, consider adding majors or minors, or to plan courses to target a future graduation date.

Good luck with the end of the term!
Dr. Oyen

On Wendesday, Nov. 17 at noon, Dr. Earl Brooks will discuss the rhetoric of gospel music legend Mahalia Jackson as part of the Dresher Center's series CURRENTS: Humanities Work Now. Dr. Brooks' presentation will follow a presentation by Kelley Bell (Visual Arts) about working with a master automata artist in England.

You can watch the presentations on Webex at this link.

Move On Up a Little Higher: The Rhetoric of Mahalia Jackson

Earl Brooks, Assistant Professor, English; Dresher Center Summer 2020 Faculty Fellow

Mahalia Jackson’s mastery of the gospel sound became a critical element of the Black freedom struggle. This book chapter from his upcoming book, Black Sonority: Rhetoric and Black Music, frames Jackson as a rhetorician par excellence while exploring the larger role of gospel music in public discourse. Brooks argues Jackson’s unique sound became an ideological and religious site of consensus, as well as a sonic commonplace between various strands of black music.

Hey Political Science Students,


Interested in doing political science research in the Spring? Consider signing up for POLI 409: Advanced Research!

 

Students in POLI 409 will engage in a semester-long political science research project of their own choosing. Students will work to identify a topic, conduct a literature review, pose a specific research question, and identify sources of information to analyze both quantitatively and qualitatively. Students taking POLI 409 will also be encouraged to submit a proposal to participate in UMBC’s URCAD (Undergraduate Research and Creative Achievement Day). By the end of the semester, each student will have an original piece of scholarship that can be used as a writing sample or the preliminary work for graduate school.

 

Requirement: successful completion of POLI 301 before the spring term begins.

 

Course: Tuesdays and Thursdays at 10-11:15am
