Families in Perilous Times: A CCF Workshop Register by July 31st for this free symposium & workshop

Announcing Families in Perilous Times: A Council on Contemporary Families (CCF) Policy and Public Scholarship Workshop, a FREE symposium and public scholarship training workshop, to be held on Friday, October 18th, 2024, at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County.  

Morning panels will focus on four topics that are the subject of contemporary debates, and have profound effects on families: The fall of Roe vs. Wade, Anti-LGBTQ+ laws, Student Debt, and Immigration law. See our exciting line-up of speakers here!  

Afternoon speakers will provide training on podcasting, creating short research videos, and writing academic blog posts, brief reports, and op-eds about family research. Workshop participants will then break into small groups, give 3-minute roundtable presentations (and will be listed on the program) and will write short family-related public scholarship pieces in small group workshops led by senior CCF scholars. Whether you are a beginner writing your first public scholarship piece, or a seasoned public scholar refining your craft, this workshop is for you! 

Fill out this simple application by July 31st to participate in the afternoon workshop. Your public scholarship piece should be tied to an in-progress or recently published research project that is related to families. Graduate students are welcome! 

Whether or not you will attend the afternoon workshop, if you plan to attend the morning or afternoon event, please register here.  

Co-sponsored by The Department of Sociology, Anthropology and Public Health; The Center for Social Science Scholarship; and the Dresher Center for the Humanities.

Get a leg-up on your GES coursework!

Here’s my advice as a fourth-year GES student: Take GES 386 as soon as possible! 386 is notorious for filling up quickly during the Fall and Spring semesters. Luckily, if you’ve already taken 286 or if you’re a grad student, you can beat the crowd!

Professor Kaylor will be teaching two sections of GES 386 during UMBC’s Summer Session II. One section will meet on Tuesday and Thursday at 1pm, and the other on Monday and Wednesday at 4:30pm. Each meeting will last about 2.5 hours with additional time allotted for working on assignments in the computer lab.

GES 386: “Introduction to GIS” explores analytical tools and workflows that will give you the foundational skills to excel in GIS. The six-week time frame will make the work schedule more compressed, but there will be ample time for group collaboration and one-on-one time with the professor and TA.

The typical class meeting will include discussions of ongoing and past assignments, a lecture or demonstration of new material, and lab (computer) time. Work can be done independently or in small groups based on that week’s topic. Lab assignments can be completed at home or in-person; you can make that decision based on your schedule and what environment you work best in.

If you have any questions, please reach out to Charlie Kaylor at ckaylor@umbc.edu. He is more than happy to work with you to reach your goals!

The Language, Literacy, and Culture Program is pleased to announce that three of its doctoral students have received a Publicly Engaged Research and Storywork Fellowship this spring. The funds for this fellowship program were earmarked by Professor Beverly Bickel, LLC Clinical Research Professor Emerita, before her retirement in 2022.

Jessica Burstrem (cohort 23) for "Interested: How Shareholder Advocacy and 50 Years of Indigenous Activism Changed the Game and the Name of the Washington Football Team." Jessica plans to use her funding to perform community-based participatory research with members of American Indian Tribal Nations in Wisconsin who were active in the shareholder advocacy phase of this movement.  

Dane Galloway (cohort 26) for "Unpacking the Home." Dane plans to use their funds to produce a short ethnographic documentary on family rituals of remembering, turning the camera homeward to capture the details and dilemmas of their own family's relocation ritual of transposing the visual family history from one set of walls to another.

Gina Lewis (cohort 25) for "Seneca Community Church Story Quilt Project." Gina plans to use her funds to support the activities and creation of a story quilt with the church community that is geographically situated within an African American descendant community in Germantown, MD, and whose cemetery is located on the grounds of the National Park Service's Seneca Stone Cutting Mill and Quarry historic site.

Congratulations on your Fellowships!

Fall 2024 class on Tuesday and Thursday  1pm - 2:15 pm

Lifelines are the most fundamental services in the community that, when stabilized, enable all other aspects of society. When disrupted due to disasters or public health emergencies, decisive intervention (e.g., rapid service re-establishment or employment of contingency response solutions) is required.  Different population groups experience different levels of impact based on societal inequities.  This course will provide a comprehensive overview of community lifelines, how they are disrupted during disaster and public health emergencies, and the human health impacts of their disruption.
