URCAD Sneak Peek: Sydney Fryer
Decriminalizing Baltimore's ‘Squeegee Kids’
***Repost from the Department of Undergraduate Research***
Decriminalizing (and Re-Humanizing) the ‘Squeegee Kid’
Sydney Fryer
Mentor: Dena Aufseeser, Geography and Environmental Systems
Squeegee Kids are young people between the ages of 10-25 that clean windshields in Baltimore city for a small fee. Their informal but infamous work has been seen as entrepreneurial, hazardous, or criminal over the years. This project uses discourse analysis to analyze and understand the dangerous rhetoric often used to describe these young people and the historical racism that has led to this rhetoric. It also seeks to allow these young people a chance to redefine themselves through a series of interviews. This is all in the hope that, through a more humanizing approach to understanding these ‘Squeegee Kids’, their work, and the reason for it, there can be a more humane discussion around their place in Baltimore city.
This work was funded, in part, through an Undergraduate Research Award from the UMBC Division of Undergraduate Academic Affairs, and a Social Science Undergraduate Research Award from the Center for Social Science Scholarship.

Additional CITI training module
FERPA added to Information Privacy and Security course
The ORPC has obtained for the campus community a CITI training module that describes investigators responsibilities for research using Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) data.
The aim of FERPA is to protect the privacy of students by giving them (and their parents if they are minors) access to their educational records and control over the disclosure of this information to third parties. Data holders (organizations that would provide access to such data, including UMBC) as well as the IRB will have specific requirements on how data may be used, who may have access, etc. Such requirements are documented in data use agreements and approved human subjects use applications.
This module provides details on topics including:
- Recognizing current issues and challenges to FERPA
- Identifying the level of risk in using different types of student data for research
- Employing safe methods in the collection and analysis of student data as well as the best way to collect, handle, and analyze student records in compliance with FERPA
- Discussing proper ways to present student data without disclosing private information
- Describing ways to remain compliant with FERPA requirements in human subjects research.
To register for CITI and/or add this course to your active course, follow the instructions found on the
Human Subjects Use Training page.
