About PROMISE:
PROMISE: Maryland’s AGEP is a university system-wide effort for the state of Maryland to facilitate underrepresented STEM graduate student and postdoctoral professional development and pathways to careers. UMBC leads the alliance that consists of all 14 colleges, universities, and regional education centers in the University System of Maryland, four community colleges, and a former NSF Model Institution of Excellence Hispanic Serving Institution in Puerto Rico. PROMISE has been a critical catalyst for increasing enrollment, retention, and graduation rates of underrepresented minorities. The program also will contribute to the higher education literature on retention and professional development for graduate students and postdocs. The Rotating Postdoctoral Fellowship and the Professors-in-Training program for Maryland’s institutions (including Master’s serving institutions, HBCUs, community colleges, and an HSI) are among the innovations that respond to AGEP’s call to support the national goal of increasing the number of underrepresented minorities who will enter academic STEM careers.
To learn more about PROMISE please visit the program's website.

CSEE Prof. Jian Chen Receives Jian Chen receives grant for
health informatics data visualization
CSEE professor Jian Chen recently received an award from Department of Defense to to develop new techniques to visualize health informatics data. The award will support two UMBC research students for two years and be done in collaboration with Jesus Caban, Gerard Reidy and Joseph Bleiberg from the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center's National Intrepid Center of Excellence.
The research will the support temporal exploration and analysis of traumatic brain injury and post traumatic stress disorder from patient cohorts. The group will design interactive visualization to move beyond using a small subset of data from the wealth and breadth of clinical information to improve diagnostic accuracy.
The project will help clinicians obtain new insights about the underlying conditions of patients, analyze complex hidden clinical patterns, and visually explore the correlations between many assessment techniques and imaging modalities including neuroimaging, neuropsychiatric measures, patient history, demographic information, and clinical tests).

CFP: 24th American Men's Studies Association Conference
Submission Deadline: September 15, 2015
CALL FOR PROPOSALS
(Un)Masking Masculinities:
Constructing and Deconstructing Representations of Masculinities
We all incorporate into our individual identities features of various culturally gender constructed identities. In particular, children and others struggling to come to terms with their sexuality may well be confused by the many and often conflicting representations of gender that they encounter throughout the broader culture. How are these "masks" of gender identity constructed? Which masks distort or corrupt the individual who wears them? Do some masks actually elevate the individual and help him become increasingly healthy and productive?
The construction and effects of gender identity are best approached through collaborative efforts. Scholars from all academic disciplines need to find ways to design their research projects so that practitioners find the results of that research useful, and practitioners need to find ways to help scholars understand and investigate the range of issues they encounter in their work. Furthermore, scholars from every discipline-the humanities, natural sciences, and social sciences-need to find ways to support each other in their efforts to discuss, examine, and/or deconstruct existing definitions of masculinity or to begin to construct new definitions.
Proposal Types
Individual Papers / Thematic Panels / Applied workshops / Posters
- Popular culture and the fine arts (paintings, drawings, sculpture, photographs, films, music, theatre, television, radio);
- Literary, philosophical, historical, and religious texts;
- Studies in the social sciences from all around the world.

6th International Digital Story Telling Conference
Early Bird Registration Ends
Voices of Change
Storywork In Activism, Education and Public Service
September 22-27, 2015
We invite you to join us in Massachusetts this fall for an amazing gathering of digital storytelling professionals, academics, youth and activists. The conference is hosted by Smith College and the Five Campus Consortium (Smith College, Hampshire College, Mount Holyoke College, University of Massachusetts Amherst, and Amherst College). This will be the first time the International Conference will be held in the Western Hemisphere, and we are thrilled to have an opportunity to bring the international community to the United States.
As we have watched the events of the Fall of 2014 in the United States unfold regarding issues of race and social justice, we wanted the conference to reflect the current events by focussing on a principal theme of Youth and Activism. Our goal is to hold a one day youth summit in conjunction with the 2.5 day conference, a portion of which will be integrated to join the two events. In addition, we will be inviting an exploration of any number of additional themes including the use of Digital Storytelling in public health, curriculum, intercultural and international education, service learning, sustainability and the environment, heritage and memory, participation and social inclusion, as well as new and innovative forms of participatory media.
The conference will host various events in its structure for inclusion of diverse perspectives and voices. While there will be a formal process of juried paper presentation sessions for academics, we will also provide space for practitioners from community settings to present. We will work to have exhibition opportunities for individual digital stories, as well as a number of ancillary workshops, special events, and exhibitions to be held in the period surrounding the conference.
Early Bird Registration ends of Friday, July 31. On August 1, Full registration increases from $195-$295, and student/low income from $75-$100.
[Please, contact Dr. Bickel if you are interested in attending this event]
