Dr. Craig Saper's article featured on Coldfront Magazine LLC Highlights Dr. Saper's article "A Story of Intermedia Performance, Publishing, and Pop Appeal" appeared recently published on Coldfront Magazine. This is the introduction to the article:

In the 1960s, the American variant of Concrete poetry was influenced by manifestos and poems from Europeans and Brazilians as well as the vibrant international art scene in New York City, the anti-war and pro-civil rights protests throughout the States, and popular culture’s fascination with systems and technology. These cultural influences made the United State’s version of Concrete poetry unique and particularly popular. An exemplar of these tendencies appeared on the dust jacket of the definitive anthology, Concrete Poetry: A World View (1970). The editor-poet, Mary Ellen Solt (1920-2007), composed her poem, “Moonshot Sonnet,” from reformatted diagrammatic-codes initially used by NASA-engineers to plan and execute the moon landing. The engineers placed the diagrammatic-codes over photographs of the lunar surface, and Solt abstracted the diagrams without any photographic reference. Using the codes, she transformed the result into a sonnet, with the codes appearing in “exactly fourteen “lines” with five “accents,”” a Petrarchan or Italianate sonnet. Her poem is a distinctively American sonnet. It is not just an iconic concrete poem, but also a poetic emblem of a national identity.

The literary poetics reduce language to an eloquent semiotic code system and universal visual language. Although the poet-editor, Solt, describes her influences as arriving from the Brazilians and Europeans, the actual poem is also unmistakably alluding to geometric minimalism, Pop art, and ready-mades. The designers of Solt’s anthology, at Indiana University Press, insisted that the poem adorn the back cover of the dust jacket in part to highlight the editor’s contribution to the International Concrete poetry movement, but also as an entreaty to the American reader to appreciate the importance of a “world view” in the age of peaceful lunar exploration. The poem concretely suggests that, although the International Concrete poetry movement was launched from Brazil and Europe, it would reach its largest audience when it landed in the United States.

A History of Interracial Sexuality in US Film, 1956-2001

Since 1903, the movie industry has produced nearly one thousand films offering cinematic contributions to the contentious discourse about the evolving meaning of race in US society. Despite the pervasiveness of such images, neither academia nor the general public fully recognize the integral place of interracial sexuality in US cinema, past or present. This dissertation provides a history of interracial sexuality in US films from 1956 through 2001, a period roughly covering the burgeoning years of the Civil Rights Movement through an era marked by the ascendency of a powerful colorblind discourse insisting that race no longer mattered in US society. I periodize the era under review into four eras that roughly correspond to the four decades—the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s and 1990s—and present a chapter for each in which I outline the major representational frames for depicting interracial sexuality. Each decade was characterized by multiple coexisting frames offering conflicting images of interracial sexuality, and these frames corresponded to contemporaneous ideas and discourses about the meanings of race in US society, history, and political culture. I draw upon a wealth of primary sources (including promotional movie posters, film reviews, opinion polls, and the films themselves) to historically analyze key films to argue that these cinematic texts offered valuable contributions to the ever-shifting yet historically bound discussion about the meaning(s) of race in the United States. This dissertation closes by arguing that cinematic depictions of interracial sexuality released over the past fifteen years have largely been shaped and structured by the prior four decades, while demonstrating how this history sheds light on a host of contemporary racial events from Barack Obama’s historic election and presidency to the Black Lives Matter movement.

Sociology&Anthropology Father involvement in early years
Marina A. Adler and Karl Lenz (ed) 2016 Father involvement in the early years: An international comparison of policy and practice.

About the book: Fatherhood is in transition and being challenged by often contradictory forces: societal mandates to be both an active father and provider, men’s own wish to be more involved with their children, and the institutional arrangements in which fathers work and live. This book explores these phenomena in the context of cross-national policies and their relation to the daily childcare practices of fathers. It presents the current state of knowledge on father involvement with young children in six countries from different welfare state regimes with unique policies related to parenting in general and fathers in particular: Finland, Germany, Italy, Slovenia, the UK and the USA.

Nine UMBC HAPP Public Health Track students attended the 2015 Fall Symposium at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health (JHSPH) on October 13, 2015. Hosted by the Wendy Klag Center for Autism & Developmental Disabilities, the event’s topic was One Size Doesn’t Fit All: Learning about Autism from Studies Big and Small. 

At the reception following the symposium, UMBC students had the opportunity to meet and talk with the speakers as well as graduate students of JHSPH who showcased their autism research at the concurrent poster session. 

Dr. Marie Diener-West, Chair of the MPH program at JHSPH, took time to meet with our UMBC students at the reception and provided invaluable information on their Master’s and Doctoral studies. Through this networking event, two students have secured internship opportunities! 

Way to represent, HAPP Public Health Track students! You make UMBC proud!
