Event: Teaching and Reaching Black Boys: A Conversation University of Maryland Baltimore County welcomes activist-authors Dr Eddie Moore Jr, Debby Irving (Waking Up White, Elephant Room Press, 2014), Verna Myers (What if I Say the Wrong Thing? 25 Habits for Culturally Effective People, American Bar Association, 2014), and Jack Hill, head of middle school, Cambridge Friends School,  Join us in conversation around the book's main premise that white women make up 65% of the teaching force in America and can play a critical role in developing nurturing and challenging learning environments that help black boys feel a sense of belonging and love at school.
 
The guide hopes to teach three main principles:
  1. How to develop learning environments that help Black boys feel a sense of belonging, nurturance, challenge, and love at school.
  2. How to change school culture so that Black boys can show up in the wholeness of their selves.
  3. How to overcome unconscious bias and forge authentic connections with your Black male students.
The conversation will tackle such topics as, “Is loving black boys enough?”, “How might loving black boys differ from loving students from different identity groups?”, and “Why dedicate a whole book to just white women teachers who teach black boys?”
 
Book signing is at 3:00 pm. Books will also be available for purchase. The book signing will end promptly at 3:45 pm and the panel discussion will begin at 4:00 pm.

Just a quick note as we head into this MLK Day weekend.  

Below are a couple fyi items for the upcoming MLK Day…First a little Shriver connection:  Harris Wofford, who helped Sarge design and launch Peace Corps, was a close friend of Dr. King, and Harris was instrumental in getting MLK Day passed as a national holiday.  He was in the Senate at the time and worked closely with another of my heroes, Rep John Lewis, in the House to get it passed. He considered it part of the larger effort to have service, justice, and peace supported and celebrated in our national calendar and programs.  

I’ll be out of town on Monday, but for those who are interested the MLK Parade in Baltimore (down MLK Blvd) is a wonderful local event…a full-on parade with marching bands and dance troops, but with strong community participation and a justice and peace flare to many of the groups that march.  With the important Uprisings for racial justice growing, this parade has the special feel of a celebratory demonstration of pride and resistance.   You just find a spot anywhere along MLK blvd below Eutaw Street. Here’s a link to the website info.

Dr. King came to Baltimore a number of times…One of the biggest events was just after he received the Nobel Prize and as the 1964 Presidential election was approaching.  He spoke at the big Masonic Temple on Eutaw St (you’d recognize it with its large brown domes).  Anyway, below are a couple pics of him in the motorcade that October 1964 day.  I’m sure he’d charge us all to keep up our service and work for racial justice, economic opportunities, and peace!!

[...]

Sending my best to you all this quiet Friday!

This is an invitation from Frank Anderson, Assistant Director of the Choice Program and LLC student. 

---

On January 16th, the Association of American Colleges and Universities (AAC&U) is calling “on colleges and universities across the country to engage in activities, events, or strategies that promote healing and foster engagement around the issues of racism, bias, inequity, and injustice in our society” for a National Day of Racial Healing. 

As a new member of AAC&U’s  Truth, Racial Healing, and Transformation (TRHT) Campus Center network, UMBC students, faculty, and staff will show their commitment to building community and breaking down racial hierarchies through the spirit of service. Join the initiative by volunteering at one of the many service sites hosting volunteers on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day (Monday, Jan. 15), or by hosting your own service event on Jan. 15th or 16th.  Use Baltimore City’s Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service Site to learn about and register for multiple service opportunities being held across the city. Or, reach out to afrank3@umbc.edu, to coordinate and learn where members from UMBC are already planning to volunteer. 

Share your work by creating a social media post for twitter, facebook, or instagram, and use the hashtag #Bmore4TRHT. Feel free to tag the Shriver Center, the Mosaic Center, and the Choice Program. If your post receives the most likes within one week, lunch for you and four other members of your group is on us! If you have a group larger than 5 participating in service, consider creating multiple teams of five to submit multiple posts. To be considered, let us know that you posted on your platform by sending an email to afrank3@umbc.edu.  All posts must be submitted by 1/17 at 12pm. 

UMBC’s Truth, Racial, Healing, and Transformation Campus Center is in its early stage of development, but already students are convening, planning, and doing great work. Student organization representatives from the Charm City Connection, Amnesty International, Hillel, Black Lives Matter, the Black Student Union; as well as representatives from the Choice Program, the Peaceworker Program, Service-Learning, and College JUMP are actively thinking about what Truth, Racial Healing, and Transformation means for our campus and for community engagement. This winter, student representatives will attend AAC&U’s “inaugural TRHT Institute in Washington, DC, where TRHT Campus Center teams will come together to discuss and refine their visionary plans to engage and empower campus and community stakeholders to uproot the conscious and unconscious biases and misbeliefs that have exacerbated racial violence and tension in American society.” Stay tuned for more updates as the work progresses, and for opportunities to get involved!

17th Annual Conference
University of North Georgia, Dahlonega, Georgia, USA
9-11 July 2018

The TSA is coming to America. For the time since it was established in 2002, the TSA is holding its annual conference on the other side of the Atlantic. TSA is a broad network of scholars who use the ‘transatlantic’ as a frame of reference for their work in political, economic, cultural, historical, environmental, literary, and IR/security studies. All transatlantic-themed paper and panel proposals from these and related disciplines are welcome.

This conference thus welcomes papers in the following areas:

  • History
  • International Relations and Security Studies
  • Literature, Film, and Culture
  • Planning and the Environment
  • Economics
  • Proposals that investigate the ‘transatlantic’ and explore it through frames of reference such as ideology, empire, race, religion, migration, political mobilisation, or social movements
  • Proposals that incorporate perspectives that involve north-south and south-south transatlantic connections, as well as north-north
 
Both panel proposals and individual papers are welcome. Panel proposals are encouraged to include a discussant. New members and junior scholars are especially welcome.

Please send individual paper proposals (a 300 word abstract + brief CV) and complete panel proposals (300 word overview + 300 word abstracts for the papers + brief CVs) to the conference email: tsaung2018@gmail.com

Deadline for panel and paper proposals: 2 February 2018

The University of Nebraska-Lincoln's Research, Evaluation, and Analysis for Community Health Lab and the Minority Health Disparities Initiative (MHDI) administer the Minority Health Disparities REU, which is an interdisciplinary program aimed at conducting cutting edge social and behavioral research into understanding and reducing health disparities and in diversifying minority health researchers.

This project takes place under support of a Summer REU grant from the National Science Foundation for research in social network analysis (SNA) and minority health. As part of that program, participating students will learn basic approaches to network science/SNA in order to employ these skills where possible in their summer research projects. SNA instruction will take place during a 2-week intensive class led by Kirk Dombrowski (Professor of Sociology, UNL), scheduled for the first two weeks of the program. Training will be used to enrich the students experience in their partner laboratories during the subsequent 8 weeks. The primary student outcome of this part of the summer research experience will be an introductory facility in social network terminology, visualization, and exploration.

Participating students work with mentors in a variety of social and behavioral science disciplines to support health research. All projects are on-going, but the work specific to the summer research program will be completed within the 10-week timeframe. At the conclusion of the program, participants will present their research at the Summer Research Symposium.
