International Education Week is for everybody! Let's bring the world to UMBC!
The International Education Week committee is encouraging all areas of campus to get involved in IEW 2020. We want to celebrate our international community, support international initiatives on campus, and share international experiences with domestic students and community they might not otherwise be exposed to. 

As you begin thinking about IEW, consider the following: 
  • With a virtual event, you can also reach a wider audience. As you propose an event you will be able to indicate which audiences you would like to target. This could be faculty, staff, current students, prospective students (domestic and international) and/or the wider UMBC community. 
  • Events come in a variety of forms, including virtual activities, presentations, lectures and more. Interested in hosting, but not sure how to get started? The IEW committee is here to help you plan next steps. 
As always, if you have any questions, please contact the committee at iew@umbc.edu. We look forward to receiving your proposals. Lets bring the world to UMBC!

UMBC International Education Services (IES) and the English Language Institute (ELI) have begun planning International Education Week 2020! IEW is a joint initiative between the US Department of State and the Department of Education hosted by universities annually in mid-November. It’s an opportunity to highlight international initiatives on campus, celebrate the international student population, and expose domestic students to international experiences they would not otherwise know. 

 

 

 

What’s Next?

 

Planning Committee Search:

IES and the ELI are looking to form a planning committee for International Education Week, and we would like a member(s) of your department to be a part of it. This committee will organize and promote UMBC’s International Education Week. They will ensure the week creates a fun, engaging, and educational week of programming for all members of the UMBC community. Currently, the committee meets biweekly and is in the early stages of the planning process

Event Proposal Submissions:

If no member of your department is able to join the planning committee, we are still strongly encouraging all departments across campus to get involved by hosting a virtual event, for students (current and prospective), staff, faculty and/or the wider UMBC community during IEW. A separate email will be sent at that time, with additional information on all things planning IEW Proposals and Events 

 

 

IEW also supports and helps to further promote the university-wide effort towards internationalization. For further information regarding International Education Week contact us at iew@umbc.edu. Additionally, you may visit the official website at https://iew.state.gov/ and see the attached infographic. 

 

We hope you're inspired and energized to bring the world to UMBC!

In All Transparency focuses on getting out the vote during the pandemic, the history of voting rights, racial oppression in voting, and the United States Postal Service. The USPS has become a nexus for these issues leading up to the general election in 2020. Through an open call, artists and activists create mail art aiming to shed light on these histories and our current moment.

The artists use translucent materials to create mail art that will be sent in transparent vellum envelopes; when illuminated on a light table, various messages and perspectives of the makers will be transparent.

The mail art messages will be photographed and then projected large scale in a loop outside Gallery CA at 440 E Oliver Street in Baltimore, MD and read by people passing by as we approach the general election. Once documented, the mail art will then be sent to a person of the maker's choosing to encourage voter participation and demand fair elections. These luminous messages might be sent to a targeted voter in a swing state, a family member or politician, for example. In All Transparency engages with the history of mail art during this time of physical isolation and social solidarity.

AFRICANA STUDIES DEPARTMENT presents the 42nd Annual W.E.B. Du Bois Lecture




Black COVID Stories, Black Lives Matter, and Protest: A Conversation about the Ongoing Struggle for Justice and Change

Karsonya "Kaye" Wise Whitehead, Associate Professor of African American Studies, Loyola University Maryland; and Radio Host, Today with Dr. Kaye

The year 2020 has been a very difficult one, with the violent deaths of Black men and women at the hands of police and would-be vigilantes and the devastating impact of COVID-19 on the Black and Brown communities. Conversations have been reignited around the country about anti-blackness and anti-racism, policing and justice. As we move forward, questions remain about what the long-term impact will be on our society and the ways in which we can reimagine our way forward. Dr. Kaye Wise Whitehead will address these questions and facilitate a larger conversation about systemic racism, engagement, and the current calls for justice.

Sponsored by the Africana Studies Department, the Center for Social Science Scholarship, and the Dresher Center for the Humanities.

This event will be recorded and made available on our Youtube channel.

UMBC is committed to creating an accessible and inclusive environment for all faculty, staff, students, and visitors. Closed captioning will be provided.

Rise of the Black Butterfly 
Dr. Lawrence T. Brown 
Visiting Associate Professor, Population Health Institute University of Wisconsin-Madison 

The world gasped in April 2015 as Baltimore erupted and Black Lives Matter activists, incensed by Freddie Gray's brutal death in police custody, shut down highways and marched on city streets. The Black Butterfly refers to the fact that Baltimore's majorityBlack population spreads out on both sides of the coveted strip of real estate running down the center of the city like a butterfly's wings. In his research and publications, Lawrence T. Brown reveals that ongoing historical trauma caused by a combination of policies, practices, systems, and budgets is at the root of uprisings and crises in hyper-segregated cities around the country. 

Putting Baltimore under a microscope, Brown looks closely at the causes of segregation, many of which exist in current legislation and regulatory policy despite the common belief that overtly racist policies are a thing of the past. Brown persuasively argues that, since urban apartheid was intentionally erected, it can be intentionally dismantled. The Black Butterfly demonstrates that America cannot reflect that Black lives matter until we see how Black neighborhoods matter. 

Lawrence T. Brown is the proud grandson of Mississippi and Arkansas Delta sharecroppers and preachers. From 2010 to 2019, Dr. Brown worked at Morgan State University in the School of Community Health and Policy where his research examined the impact of historical trauma on community health. In June 2018 he was honored by OSI Baltimore with the Bold Thinker award for sparking critical discourse regarding Baltimore’s racial segregation. In September 2018, he was named #61 in The Root 100 – an annual list of the most influential African Americans ages 25 to 45. His first book, The Black Butterfly: The Politics of Race and Space in America, will be published by The Johns Hopkins University Press in January 2021.

Tactical Media and Critical Design: Rap, Robots, Games, and Poetic Gestures
Wednesday, October 7, 2020, 12:40 to 1:45 EST/18:40 to 19:45 GMT
Zoom panel: https://cornell.zoom.us/j/96501025299?pwd=N0p0dzFDTUh3OUFzUkVmdEZGajFOUT09

This panel features artists, activists, and researchers working the borders of practice/theory, technology/society, Black/White, Mexico/US, and Palestine/Israel:

• A.D. Carson, Assistant Professor of Hip Hop, Virginia
• Chris Csíkszentmihályi, Associate Professor of Information Science, Cornell
• Ricardo Dominguez, Associate Professor of Art, UC-San Diego
• Alainya Kavaloski, Associate Professor of English, SUNY-Canton

Critical race rap, robots for protestors, apps and games, and poetic gestures of electronic civil disobedience have all emerged as activist media practices over the past 20 years. These media complement new alliances and modes of organizing, including ACT-UP, BLM, #metoo, and Climate School Strike, as well as the emergence of critical design.

This public event is part of Human-Centered Design and Engaged Media (ENGL 4705/INFO 4940/COML 4231), whose four critical design teams work with Black Farmers Fund and Labor Ready (serving Latinx farmers) through Cornell’s Small Farms Program and, through the Cornell Law Clinic, Al-Marsad Arab Human Rights Centre and The Alice Project on Gender and Extreme Sentencing.

The course is part of a multi-year Civic Storytelling project funded by the Society for the Humanities’ Mellon Rural Humanities Initiative, a Kaplan Family Distinguished Faculty Fellowship, and an Engaged Cornell Opportunity Grant, with support from the Department of English and the Bronfenbrenner Center for Translational Research.
