Course Highlight: GWST 323, Gender and Sitcoms
Where watching TV is the same as doing your homework
Have you been streaming all of Schitt’s Creek while in quarantine? Feeling 90s nostalgia with binges of Seinfeld and Friends? Re-watching the sitcoms of your childhood? In GWST 323, all of that sitcom watching counts as doing your homework! In Gender and Sitcoms, we will watch sitcoms from the 1950s through today to critically analyze representations of gender within them. From an intersectional perspective, we’ll ask what sorts of messages the shows send about masculinity and femininity, about sexuality, about family, and ask if and how those messages reflect American culture in their time. Throughout the session, you’ll play the role of TV critic, writing reviews of the sitcoms that critique their messages about gender, and maybe their jokes as well.
GWST323 is running for six weeks during Summer 2020 session 1. If you have questions, please reach out to the instructor, Dr Kathryn Kein, at kkein@umbc.edu

New Political Science Course Added!
Poli-409 - COVID 19 and Politics
Hey Political Science Students,
I hope you are all doing well. I know many of you have already registered for your Fall of 2020 courses, but I wanted to let you know that our department has just added a new course. The new course that will be taught by Dr. Eric Stokan this coming fall is POLI-409- COVID 19 and Politics. Even if you have already registered for your courses, I would highly encourage you to look into taking this course. It goes without saying that the recent COVID 19 outbreak has affected various parts of both our daily lives and our society. This course will explore how COVID 19 relates to and affects politics. The course has just been listed and is now available for you to enroll in through your myumbc account.

Kimberly Moffitt is Promoted to New Rank
We are pleased to announce that after a year-long evaluative process
the LLC Program's Director, Dr. Kimberly Moffitt, is being promoted to the rank
of Professor, effective July 1, 2020.
Beyond the traditional quantitative and qualitative criteria
for promotion used at UMBC and by our Language, Literacy & Culture Doctoral
Program, all the evaluators echoed the external
reviewers' sentiments that her scholarship is "rigorous," "original," and "important," highlighting her community-engaged and participatory-action work as a public intellectual and educational advocate.
Dr. Moffitt's research is in the area of race
and gender representation in mass media and pop culture.
Please help us congratulate her on becoming a full professor!

GWST at URCAD!
Check out the research projects of our seniors!
The day is finally here...URCAD! GWST majors Nadia BenAissa and Alex Siebenhaar are sharing their thesis research at this link: https://umbc.voicethread.com/myvoice/browse/threadbox/2971/
Nadia's research looks at campus rape culture and how institutional betrayal makes things worse, particularly for students of color and LGBTQ students.
Alex's research compares public sex education programs in Maryland and California to make that case that we need science-based trans-inclusive sex education to improve health outcomes for all students.
Both have worked incredibly hard on this research, and we hope you check it out!

URCAD: MC Hammerhead: A Kinetic Sculpture Redesign Project
John Motavalli, Susanna Abler, Tristan King
UMBC kinetic sculpture team members will present an overview of their
redesign efforts during the Fall semester of 2019: adding water
propulsion, creating a more durable sharkskin out of recycled materials,
and transforming pontoons into functional artwork. These design efforts
were part of an interdisciplinary course, INDS 430 Kinetic Sculpture
Project, which drew upon methods from sustainable design, project
management, and biomimicry to build a new 20 foot shark sculpture named
“MC Hammerhead.”
Mentor: Steven McAlpine, Individualized Study
This work was funded, in part, by the Alex Brown Center for Entrepreneurship URA Award.

Nishka Patel: URCAD Virtual Presentation
Examining the Cognitive and Psychosocial Profiles...
Examining the Cognitive and Pyschosocial Profiles of GD1 Versus GBA-PD Patients
Please click here to see Nishka's virtual URCAD presentation
While there are currently available research studies that focus on
the cognitive features seen in Gaucher disease Type 1 (GD1) and GBA -associated Parkinson’s disease (GBA-PD),
research analyzing the lived illness experiences of both diseases is
limited (Hammarlund et al. 2018; Packman et al. 2010). Serving as an
extension to my INDS degree concentration in Illness Narratology, my
capstone project aims to create a clinical profile of GD1 and GBA-PD individuals using statistical analysis and patient interviews.
As advanced medical and scientific therapies become more apparent
among hospitals and clinics, many physicians are now advocating for an
integrative approach to practicing medicine (Gannotta et al. 2018). With
this increasing need for healthcare providers to treat the patient
rather than solely the disease (Zazulak 2016), my capstone intends to
call attention to the importance of integrating a holistic approach when
analyzing the clinical presentations of genetic and neurodegenerative
disorders.

Children Raising Children: A Qualitative Study
Children Raising Children: A Qualitative Study Of The Social Determinants Of Adolescent Pregnancy In Rural Ecuador
Keren Herrán
Tania Calle, Williams College
Iván Palacios, Universidad San Francisco de Quito
Rebecca Dillingham, University of Virginia
According to Ecuador’s most recent census, 1/5 of pregnancies are
from adolescent mothers — elevating rates of poverty, maternal and child
mortality, and birth complications. Hence, our research question: how
do social determinants of health (SDOH) cause adolescent pregnancy in
rural Ecuador?
Our research team analyzed 3 focus groups composed of 5-7 adolescent
(14-21 years old) mothers who had recently (within two years) given
birth in El Quinche, Lumbisi, and Pifo. In depth interviews with 10 key
informants (health officials, providers, and policy-makers) were also
organized to explore perceptions regarding interventions and causes of
adolescent pregnancy. Our team interviewed until reaching saturation of
information, validating collected data through triangulation. We applied
grounded theory for analysis via open, axial, and selective coding
using NVivo software.
Our data revealed that the root SDOH causing adolescent pregnancy
includes compromised sexual education, shame in discussing the topic,
and troubled households. Therefore, we recommend that Ecuador focus on
improving the quality of sexual education in schools, creating a
positive sexual environment, and encouraging female empowerment.
Ultimately, gaining a better understanding of the causes of adolescent
pregnancy can inform the formulation of more effective interventions in
Ecuador and beyond.
The project described was supported
in whole or in part by the National Institute on Minority Health and
Health Disparities of the National Institutes of Health under award
number T37MD008659. The content is solely the responsibility of the
