We are happy to announce that a new faculty-led international field course this summer to Costa Rica (Course dates: May 29 - June 14, 2017)

This course will be led by Dr. Maggie Holland & Dr. Matt Fagan (both from GES), and Dr. Lee Blaney (CBEE).  

Course title: Climate Change at the Forest-Water Nexus 

The goal of this field course is to provide students with an applied and active learning experience in the Tropics through a mixture of interdisciplinary fieldwork, service-learning, and environmental/cultural engagement.   Students will directly engage with rural communities through integrated fieldwork and service projects, gaining hands-on experience in social science field research (participatory photo mapping), environmental engineering fieldwork (water quality monitoring), and field ecology techniques (monitoring cloud forests and avian biodiversity).  Together, the group will work to weave together these three fieldwork efforts into a more comprehensive understanding of climate change impacts at the forest-water nexus as it is represented in the Monteverde region in Costa Rica. 

Note: This course offered as a GES 400/600-level Special Topics course, and will therefore be open to enrollment by both undergraduate and graduate students, regardless of major concentration.  While there is no minimum language requirement, students with strong communication skills in Spanish (completion of at least one 300-level Spanish language course, or native fluency) will be given special consideration. 
  
We'll host our first informational session next Wednesday, Feb 22nd, from noon-1pm in the Cart Lab in the basement of Sondheim Hall.

A second informational session will take place on Monday, Feb 27th, from 3:30-4:30pm in the GES department conference room (210 Sondheim Hall).

Apply by April 1, 2017 for groups beginning in Fall 2017

The Dresher Center invites proposals for new Faculty Working Groups in the Humanities. Dresher Center Faculty Working Groups are collaborative, interdisciplinary communities of scholars working on humanities projects, research concerns, or matters of public interest. The Dresher Center provides support for the formation of these groups in an effort to promote intellectual exchange and support research activity in the humanities among scholars across campus. Working groups meet regularly and can use their funds to travel to sites or archives, host speakers, explore technologies, create new resources or materials, or other similar activities.

Faculty Working Groups can apply for up to $1,000 in annual support ($500 per semester) for their first-year activities. While faculty may come from any UMBC department, priority will be given to groups with at least one member from a humanities department.

Fundable activities include travel to sites or archives, speaker presentations, use/purchase of technology, creation of resources or materials, and support for regular meetings or workshops, etc. 

Current Dresher Center Faculty Working Groups may also apply for continuation funding (same deadlines).

For best consideration, apply by April 1, 2017 for groups beginning in fall 2017.

Music was crucial during the brief Spanish-American War as a means of wartime propaganda and promotion, and of soldier recruitment. It also helped soldiers cope with lack of preparation and terrible conditions as they commiserated over terrible food, inappropriate clothing, and a war that wasn't as advertised.
