Researcher of the Week: Zachary Nicholas
Pressures on Parents of Children with Special Needs
Zachary Nicholas is a current URA Scholar, a member of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, and an Anthropology and Biology major (Dec. '19)
Title of your research project: Deciphering Cultural Roles and Social Pressure on Parents of Children with Special Needs
Describe your project: I will be examining what social factors influence decisions made by parents of children with special needs. I will also be looking at how the world around children with special needs is typically regulated by people without special needs and how that may be biased and affect their development and childhood.
Who is your mentor for your project? Dr. Bambi Chapin, Department of Sociology, Anthropology, and Health Administration and Policy
How did you find your mentor? Why did you choose them? Dr. Chapin has been my faculty advisor since I transferred to UMBC in fall 2017. In fall 2019, I was in one of Dr. Chapin’s classes and that is when I realized that our research interests were similar. I thought she would be the right person to oversee my project with her extensive knowledge on parent-child relationships and children’s cognitive development.
How did you become interested in this project? I have always been interested in topics like genetics, genomics, heredity, and human history. While trying to narrow down on my future career choices, I was shadowing prenatal genetic counselors. With each case, I wanted to know what was going through the parents’ minds when either there was a high risk for their child having a genetic disease or their child was diagnosed. There seemed to be bountiful layers and possibilities on what affected those parents when it came to making a decision to either get tested to know if the child has a disease for sure, or not to risk doing a procedure that causes a higher miscarriage rate. The variability in parents’ responses is what got my mind wanting to know more on the subject.
What has been the hardest part about your research/what was the most unexpected thing about being a researcher? The most unexpected aspects of this project have been how difficult it is to get permission to conduct qualitative observational research in a medical setting and how effortlessly the subject and focus of your project can change based off the data that is produced.
What has been the most rewarding part? When the parents, siblings, and health practitioners of the children with special needs get a chance to express their thoughts about the subject it is beautiful to watch. It is something that is a huge part of their lives and is also something that they are passionate about, yet they rarely can talk freely about how they feel on the subject.
How will you disseminate your research? I will conduct a PowerPoint presentation at URCAD and plan to publish my paper as a short ethnography.
What is your advice to other students about getting involved in research? Do not be afraid to put in extra work when it comes to your project. It will be a reflection of you and will be a time where you can explore your academic interests in depth.
What are your career goals? After graduating from UMBC, I plan to attain
my Ph.D. in Genetics. I would like to either become a professor or work in the
biological science research industry.

The Visual Art Faculty Lecture Series continues
Today!
Thursday, October 3rd at 12 noon
Visual Art Faculty Lecture Series presents Jules Rosskam
Jules Rosskam is an award-winning filmmaker, educator and interdisciplinary artist interested in liminal spaces: the space between male and female, between documentary and fiction, between moving image and still. His interdisciplinary practice works to induce a perceptual shift in our understanding of how and what bodies mean in the context of documentary film, toward an apprehension of multiplicities. He is the director, producer, and editor of transparent (2005), against a trans narrative (2009), Thick Relations (2012), Something to Cry About (2018), and Paternal Rites (2018), and Dance, Dance, Evolution (2019).
Recent screenings include the Museum of Modern Art, the Museum of Fine Art Boston, the British Film Institute, Arsenal Berlin, Hallwalls Contemporary Art Center, and the Queens Museum of Art. Recent residencies include Marble House Project, PLAYA, ACRE, Yaddo, and ISSUE Project Room. He has received support for his films from the LEF Foundation, Rubys Artist Project, the Center for Independent Documentary, the Illinois Arts Council, the Astraea Foundation, and the Frameline Completion Fund. Rosskam holds an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (Film, Video, New Media, 2008).
All lectures are free and open to the public and are held in the CADVC gallery space.

Prof. Bennett pub. article on affirmative action in colleges
Examining affirm. action in context of 2003 SCOTUS ruling
This week, Prof. Pamela R. Bennett co-authored an article published in the Journal of Law and Social Policy (JLSP). The article, "How Affirmative Action Context Shapes Collegiate Outcomes at America's Selective Colleges and Universities," examines how affirmative action context relates to academic outcomes in US universities. In the article, the authors compare outcomes before and after the US Supreme Court's 2003 Grutter decision, in which the Supreme Court ruled that affirmative action is constitutional, but should implemented via holistic evaluation of applicants.
This research is particularly relevant in light of the recent federal court
decision finding that Harvard University did not discriminate against Asian American applicants during the admissions process.

Steve Bradley
Today, Wednesday, Oct. 2nd at 12 noon at the Center for Art, Design and Visual Culture
Stephen Bradley is an interdisciplinary artist who maps and traces our relationship to place through ecology, sound and sculptural objects, including recorded narratives juxtaposed with artifacts discarded or lost in the landscape. Bradley is a member of the Baltimore Underground Science Space (BUGSS) where he continues his local ecological efforts with a collective of civic scientists and ecological activities. Summer 2019 he was an artist-residency at Wave Farm, Acra, NY in collaboration with composer, Edward Ruchalski. They designed and performed a multi-phonic ecological radio installation informed by the surrounding biophonic soundscape. The residency resulted in establishing a quarterly radio program, called Bells, Bugs, Whispers & Plinks that will be broadcast from Wave Farm’s WGXC 90.7, Radio for Open Ears. The first broadcast is scheduled for Tuesday, October 29 from 2-3PM.
Bradley has received solo commissions, awards and fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts, Maryland State Arts Council, Sonic Circuits VII: Walker Art Center, Inter-Society for the Electronic Arts (ISEA), Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma – Helsinki, Blauschimmel Atelier – Oldenberg, Germany, Bienal de Arte Contemporaneo de Sevilla, Biacs3 – Spain, Wave Hill – Bronx, NY, and Hull Time-Based Arts – UK.

New Date: Oct 3, 12pm - Jules Rosskam Artist Talk at CADVC
Spectrum 2019: Visual Arts Faculty Lecture Series continues
NEW DATE!
Spectrum 2019: Visual Arts Faculty Lecture Series presents
Jules Rosskam, Thursday, Oct 3, 12 pm at The Center for Art, Design and Visual Culture
Jules Rosskam is an award-winning filmmaker, educator and interdisciplinary artist interested in liminal spaces: the space between male and female, between documentary and fiction, between moving image and still. His interdisciplinary practice works to induce a perceptual shift in our understanding of how and what bodies mean in the context of documentary film, toward an apprehension of multiplicities. He is the director, producer, and editor of transparent (2005), against a trans narrative (2009), Thick Relations (2012), Something to Cry About (2018), and Paternal Rites (2018). He is currently in post-production on his 2018 Rubys Artist Project Grant funded documentary short, Dance, Dance, Evolution.
Recent screenings include the Museum of Modern Art, the Museum of Fine Art Boston, the British Film Institute, Arsenal Berlin, Hallwalls Contemporary Art Center, and the Queens Museum of Art. Recent residencies include Marble House Project, PLAYA, ACRE, Yaddo, and ISSUE Project Room. He has received support for his films from the LEF Foundation, the Center for Independent Documentary, the Illinois Arts Council, the Astraea Foundation, and the Frameline Completion Fund. Rosskam holds an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (Film, Video, New Media, 2008).
All lectures are free and open to the public and are held in the CADVC gallery space.
