PHOTOGRAPHS OF MEN FROM
THE MARK RICE COLLECTION
August 30 – December 12
Albin O. Kuhn Library Gallery
The Mark Rice Collection is comprised of more than 80 photographs constituting part of the history of gay male photography produced after the Stonewall Rebellion of 1969, a significant historical event that fostered the visibility and optimistic development of a gay male subculture during the 1970s and early 1980s. Sadly, that carefree optimism turned to a melancholic introspection with the devastating onslaught of HIV/AIDS from the mid-to-late 1980s through the 1990s. Most of the photographs from the collection date to this latter decade and will be considered in this historical context.
The exhibition is curated James Smalls, Professor of Visual Arts at UMBC. His research and publications focus on the intersections of race, gender, and queer sexuality in modern and contemporary visual culture. He is the author of Homosexuality in Art (2003) and The Homoerotic Photography of Carl Van Vechten (2006). He will be giving a talk as part of the Humanities Forum and related to the exhibition titled “The Mark Rice Collection and the Homo-Erotics of Photography After Stonewall,” on Thursday, December 7 at 4 p.m. in the Library Gallery
Admission to the exhibition, lecture, and reception is free and open to the public.
Gallery hours:
Monday through Friday: 10 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.
Thursday until 8 p.m.

Summer Stories from the Department of Music
For musicians, Summers are not just a time to practice. For many it’s a time to do additional performances, perform for other professional musicians on masterclasses, participate in various festivals to hone their craft, or attend conventions related to their areas. This Summer our students and faculty have been extraordinarily busy performing, teaching, and studying! Below are stories about what our department has been doing all summer!
Dr. Audrey Andrist
Piano faculty Dr. Audrey Andrist, is the official pianist for the Brian Lewis Young Artist Program in Ottawa, Kansas. The program is a summer institute devoted to providing free masterclasses and lessons to highly gifted violinists under the age of 18 years old. The festival annually runs for 2 weeks during the month of June. Pictured here is Dr. Andrist with John Heo, one of the students she worked with over the summer.
Linda Jung
Linehan Scholar and Senior Piano Performance Major, Linda Jung spent part of her summer performing at the piano institute at the Miami Music Festival. Linda participated in daily lessons, forums, and studio classes with world renowned pianist including Ching-Yun Hu, Alexandre Moutouzkine, Douglas Humphreys, and Anton Nel. The piano institute is a part of larger festival and provide its students with the opportunity to attend other performances from the different tracks and promotes collaboration among the other students. Pictured on the right is Linda with Anton Nel
Dr. Lisa Cella
Dr. Lisa Cella, flute faculty, taught and performed at the Nief-Norf Summer Festival and at Soundscape Festival. She finished two recording projects, the flute works of Daniele Venturi and a piece to go on a Soundscape Faculty CD by Ricardo Zohn-Muldoon. In addition, she presented theNational Flute Convention about her proposal for curating “The Changing Face of Virtuosity in Contemporary Times” accepted in its entirety and performed two pieces on this program.
Dana Pirzchalski
Senior voice performance major, Dana Pirzchalski New England Conservatory’s Summer Opera Studio in Boston, MA run by Daniel Wyneken and Janice Giampa. The program is a 3 week intensive encompassing multiple standard operas with participants from around the country. Dana performed 2 scenes at the program: Natalia Petrovna (role of Hoiby) and the Saint Of Bleecker Street (role of Menotti).
Jacqueline Pollauf
Harp faculty Jacqueline Pollauf has had a busy summer encompassing multiple facets of music making and study. In June, she performed with Trio Sirènes on the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra’s Chamber Music by Candlelight Series at the Second Presbyterian Church in Baltimore. Ms. Pollauf was also on faculty at the Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp, where she taught high school aged students and performed with the members of the faculty. In addition to teaching at Blue Lake, she also taught at the Baltimore Harp Camp, of which she is the sole founder and director. Her camp was featured in the Baltimore Sun in July. Ms. Pollauf will be ending her summer by beginning an artist residency program at the Hereford Branch of the Baltimore County Public Library where she will be practicing, performing, and composing during the month of September.
Sarah Van Waes
Sarah Van Waes is a cello performance major and over the summer she studied with cello faculty Gita Ladd at the Endless Mountain Music Festivalin Pennsylvania. The program encompassed daily chamber music coachings and festival orchestra rehearsals including repertoire by Shostakovich, Dvorak, Piazzolla, and other. The most challenging performance she did in her time was the performance of Shostakovich Symphony No. 5. Not only was that piece difficult to play, but they ended up having to play it in the dark because the power at the theater went out 20 minutes before performance and only came back (miraculously) when the piece moves from minor to major at the end.
Lisa Dodson
Voice faculty, Lisa Dodson, recently performed as Lily along side her so Colin in The Secret Garden with The Other Voices Theatre in Frederick, MD. The production ran for two weeks in August and a review of the production can be read here.
Scott Tiemann
Over the Summer, drumset professor Scott Tiemann ran a woodworking workshop for teenagers between 13-18 years olds. One of the projects included creating a 10 note bass tongue drum and mallets tuned with a minor pentatonic scale. To the right is one of the completed projects.
Michael Bradshaw
This summer, Michael attended Festival Baltimore here at UMBC. During the two week festival, they studied, rehearsed, and received coachings from incredible professional musicians in preparation for a performance of the complete Brahms piano quartets. In addition to the fantastic performing experience, they attended concerts by the faculty featuring complete works by select composers. Michael described the festival as an invaluable experience demonstrating tremendous artistry and musicianship at each performance, and he said the insight and knowledge he received during lessons and coachings made Festival Baltimore a phenomenal experience to look forward to next summer!
Jonathan Zwi
This July saw the inauguration of the Summer Guitar Academy, in collaboration with the Music Department and the Office of Summer Enrichment Experiences. Directed by Jonathan Zwi, with help from his assistant Morgan Dice, students of all levels and abilities attended a one-week intensive course where they engaged in a variety of topics and styles. Through daily private lessons, ensemble rehearsals and group classes, the students learned about positioning, technique, tone, sight reading, music theory, fretboard harmony, arranging, songwriting and instrument building.
The students learned an incredible amount in this short time and finished up with an amazing demonstration of solo, duo and ensemble performances from styles ranging from pop, blues and classical music.
Jonathan Zwi spent the month of August as an artist-in-residence in the village of Tatuamunha, Brazil, along the country’s Coral Coast.
Through his painting, Jonathan sought to evoke some of the natural and social experiences of daily life in this rural part of the country.
By straining the sand from his beachside residence, Jonathan filtered out everything but the finest-grained black sands to be used as raw materials in his paintings. With a limited palette of black, white, ochre and gray, these sands were used to create a textural and aesthetic reference to the black-washed beaches that result from the receding tides.
In addition to the use of sand, Jonathan incorporated mud, clay and cement in his work in order to allude to the humble mud-brick houses that can still be found in these rural areas of the country. These works – which are not only visually textured but also tactile in their nature – serve as a metaphor for the simplicity and humility that underlies the daily experience of so much of the local population.
Despite the persistence of what might be labeled as the area’s ‘underdeveloped existence,’ Jonathan did not create these works to serve as a moral or political statement.
Instead, he sees these paintings as a poetic reference to the individuals who – with hope and humility – continue to find beauty and dignity in the simplicity of their lives.

Attend 69th Annual Student Conference on U.S. Affairs(SCUSA)
Applications to Dr. Grodsky by September 15!
The Political Science Department is now accepting applications to the 69th Annual Student Conference on U.S. Affairs (SCUSA) at the U.S. Military Academy, West Point, New York from November 1-4. This is an excellent opportunity to get involved in international and security debates with a large number of students and experts from around the country.
Every year, the Department sends two students to represent UMBC at this conference. Past participants have found the conference to be extremely rewarding. The Department covers registration fees and transportation to West Point, while the conference organizers provide room and board while there. If you are interested, please send a brief (one paragraph) letter of interest, including why you would like to go, what makes you qualified to represent the Department and your GPA to: Dr. Brian Grodsky, bgrodsky@umbc.edu. All applications must be received by September 15.
For more information, see below.
The largest and oldest conference of its type, SCUSA is an important means through which we promote civil-military engagement among future leaders from around the world. In addition to 60 cadet delegates, approximately 200 undergraduate and graduate students from over 100 universities and 20-30 countries attend SCUSA each year. Highlights of the conference include the opening senior panel discussion on the evening of November 1st, the keynote banquet address on November 2nd, four roundtable sessions, and a closing session on November 4th at which delegates will present recommendations for U.S. foreign policy developed during their roundtable sessions. Recent keynote speakers have included Dr. Richard Haass, Secretary Madeleine Albright, Ambassador Thomas Pickering, and Lieutenant General (Ret.) Brent Scowcroft.
Our theme this year is "The Politics of the Forgotten and the Aggrieved: Remaking the World Order?" Given today's significant and diverse challenges to the post-World War II liberal international order, our goal is to enable student delegates to grapple with the pressing foreign policy issues that now face our country. During SCUSA, delegates will serve on one of fifteen regional and topical roundtables to discuss questions related to the theme. The delegates will be asked to assess and debate issues such as the impact of populism on U.S. and European domestic and foreign policy, the future of American alliances throughout the world, U.S. responses to climate change amid rising nationalism, and U.S. policies to address ethnoreligious conflict and mass displacement. We hope that delegates will think critically about both the politics of grievance as well as the continued marginalization of various groups throughout the world.
The registration window for SCUSA opens on September 1st and will close on October 20th, or once we have reached our maximum number of participants. The link to the registration website is https://www.eventbrite.com/e/scusa-2017-the-politics-of-the-forgotten-and-the-aggrieved-registration-32053468788. The password for registration is: SCUSA2017. The registration fee for SCUSA is $180 per delegate, which covers all meals and lodging for the student while he or she is attending SCUSA. Your university is responsible for paying the registration fee, as well as air or rail transportation to and from the conference and all associated costs. West Point will provide transportation to West Point from Newark, LaGuardia, and Stewart airports, as well as from Garrison (Metro-North) and Croton-Harmon (Amtrak) train stations. After the conclusion of the conference, we will provide delegates with transportation back to these airports and train stations as well.

Information about LLC 750 English as a Global Language
Study Abroad Fair September 1 11-2 pm
Come by the Commons on Friday, September 1, from 11am-2pm, to check out the Study Abroad fair. Tables will be set up in the Main Street area, across from the bookstore.
Dr. Mallinson will be there to talk to students about her new course, "English as a Global Language," to be held in Amsterdam, July 2018! See below for a description of the course. Undergraduates and graduate students are welcome. The course must have a minimum of 10 students to run, so tell your friends!
For those who cannot attend the fair, there will be four additional information sessions in the fall and early spring. Email Dr. Mallinson for more information.
English as a Global Language
Dr. Christine Mallinson
July 1 - 14, 2018
Location: Amsterdam, the Netherlands
Course Description
This course will explore how the English language developed over time and came to its current position of global usage. We will examine the processes and effects of language contact, learning how, historically, English has been influenced by other languages and, more recently, how it has influenced other languages globally. In so doing, we will explore the pluralization of English into Englishes—its development from one imperial language into various nativized varieties of English around the world. As such, this course will emphasize the historical, political, and ideological issues of globalization, nativization, post-colonialism, and standardization. Via several case studies, we will examine language as a central mechanism in the construction of national, ethnic, and cultural identities and in the development of language policies; we will further apply this knowledge, particularly to current social and educational issues facing speakers of minority language varieties.
The award honors the legacy of Kenyan-born professor Ali Mazrui, known for his research on African history and critical analysis of western influence in Africa. It acknowledges scholars whose academic work is substantial, rigorous, and original, and has a far-reaching impact on one or more disciplines within African(a) studies.
Chuku was honored as the first woman to receive the award at a special event during this year’s TOFAC gathering, held in July at the Adeyemi College of Education, in Ondo, Nigeria. Previous recipients include Nimi Wariboko, professor of social ethics at Boston University School of Theology, and Sabelo Ndlovu-Gatsheni, founder of the Africa Decolonial Research Network at the University of South Africa.
Congratulations, Dr. Chuku!
