When: Wednesdays 7:10 - 9:40 pm

This class will use a case-based approach to explore the influence of human culture on health policy, management and practice, providing a background to the disparities in health found within the United States. In order to provide a unifying context for these explorations, the class will include a general introduction to global health. This introduction will identify the influences of culture, religion and resources on global health decisions as experienced by major health organizations. Some examples of the specific topics that this class will cover include population screening for disease and carrier predictions, domestic and global issues for newborns and adults, and geographical distributions of disease. All topics will integrate economic, technical, political, ethical and personal challenges experienced by a professional. Students will be encouraged to propose potential solutions and management solutions to real-world issues in health care.

From the more than 140 qualified proposals, three finalists were invited to campus to present their site-specific design concept to the Principal Selection Committee. After much reflection and discussion, the committee voted Sayre’s concept as the most reflective of UMBC’s vision of a public art installation that invites community engagement, reflects the passage of time, and embraces the values and culture of UMBC. 

Thomas Sayre has designed and built public art projects all over the world and has participated in design teams for civic, educational and museum buildings. Along with architect Steve Schuster, Sayre is a founding principal in the multi-disciplinary design firm Clearscapes, based in Raleigh, North Carolina. Sayre believes that art will only work when disparate opinions come together through collaboration to form a coherent vision.

On behalf of the Principal Selection Committee, we invite interested campus community members to meet the artist and preview his design proposal:

The Rubys are project-based funding for emerging and established Baltimore-regional artists for the creation of innovative and bold endeavors that will have significant impact for the artist and on the community at-large. The grants support the region’s gems – the local creative community of performing, visual, media, and literary artists.

The current cycle will be funding projects based in the Visual Arts and Literary Arts. Grant guidelines are available for download, as well as one can sign up for various grant info sessions that will take place next month. Submission deadline is Monday, June 30, 2014.

For more information about applying, visit http://baltimoreculture.org/programs/rubys/

A free grant-writing how-to workshop will be held in June. Details and sign-up for the workshop is on the webpage. This is an unprecedented opportunity for artists of all media to fund a creative project that has long percolated in their idea bank, or inspire a new artistic endeavor.

Any questions can be directed to Sonja Cendak at scendak@baltimoreculture.org.
