The event is virtual and RSVP and Registration Information will be available at
https://cge.umbc.edu/iew/ (scroll down to today's date)

This panel will provide a brief overview of the recent history of Afghanistan, including the 1979 invasion of the Soviet Union, the 1989 withdrawal and consequent civil war, the 1995 takeover of the Taliban, their defeat in 2001 by the U.S. and coalition forces, and the following 20 years of ongoing war in Afghanistan from which the U.S. withdrew in late August.  Afterwards, the panel will begin an open discussion about current issues facing Afghanistan today.
Panelist Information:
Zareen Taj is a doctoral student in language, literacy, and culture.  She is an Afghan women's rights/human rights activist, who came to the U.S. during the first reign of the Taliban.  She has shared research in conferences, given speeches, and has written numerous op-eds about Afghanistan.  Taj has made frequent personal and professional trips back to Afghanistan since 2004.  She was the first Afghan woman who visited five massacre sites.  Taj interviewed the survivors of the Taliban Massacre, produced a video documentary about her journey, and wrote the book Journey to Empowerment: Women After Taliban.
Noor Zaidi, assistant professor of history, has done extensive field work in Pakistan and with Shia clerics and activists in Iraq after the collapse of the Saddam regime.  She is a scholar of Middle Eastern History with a specialization in Iraq, Syria, and Pakistan.  Her current research focuses on the construction of sacred space in Shia Islam.  After the collapse of the Saddam regime, Iraq worked to create a new identity, positioning itself as the center of the Shia world.  Dr. Zaidi's research covers this transformation, working to understand the effects of these changes on faith and culture.
Anne Brodsky, professor psychology, has spent extended periods of time in Afghanistan and Pakistan throughout the 2000s.  Her work centers around the risk and resilience of Afghan women with a focus on Afghan women's communities and activist organizations.  Brodsky studies individual and community level resilience and the role of communities, psychological community, and cultures in creating and resisting societal risks, including community violence, poverty, racism, sexism and other oppressions.
Moderator: Christine Mallinson, director of UMBC's Center for Social Science Scholarship and professor of language, literacy, and culture and affiliate profesor of gender, women's, and sexuality studies.

Includes a 6-month, $25/hour job placement with youth

There are several types of positions available with The Choice Program at UMBC, to include:
  • a 6-month, $25/hour position doing job placements with youth (Choice Jobs Program Contingent I, description attached)
  • year-long AmeriCorps positions throughout Maryland, across three different programs (Intensive Advocacy, Jobs Readiness, and Education)
  • Tech Program Coordinator (Choice Jobs, starting salary $50,000)


A segment of The Choice Program's Anti-Racism Statement:

In this moment, we are being called forth and into action. Amidst a pandemic of racial and police violence, we feel the weight of hundreds of years of white supremacy and, especially, of war on the Black body. Our action and response is this: anti-racism.

Anti-racism is resistance and action. Anti-racism is love. Love for ourselves, for each other, for our children and young people. Anti-racism is recognizing that the violence waged on Black bodies may be in the spotlight today but is not new. Anti-racism is knowing that the reason our hearts are on fire is that our nation fails to honor the lives of people of color as precious.

This is the work we do every day, and now with an even greater urgency. Anti-racism is continuing to create opportunities for young people to engage during this time. We will continue to show up: in connecting through moments of joy, moments of tears, rage and mourning. We will create spaces for art, expression and learning.

Banta co-founded the start-up Ironic Chemicals LLC and the company went on to receive two grants from the National Science Foundation. 
Banta’s dedication to his field is clear. He served as program chair of the Bioengineering Area of the Food, Pharmacetical, and Bioengineering Division for the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE). Last year he also delivered a Plenary Award Lecture for the Division. He is an associate editor for the Biochemical Engineering Journal and part of the Editorial Advisory Board for the AIChE Journal. He is also heavily involved in the Biochemical Technology (BIOT) division at the American Chemical Society. Banta served as the program chair for the National Meeting and eventually served as the chairman of the BIOT Division and is currently a long range program coordinator. Additionally, he was inducted into the College of Fellows by the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE). 
Through Banta’s many professional roles and accomplishments, he continues to contribute to the discussion around critical issues at the undergraduate and graduate levels to help improve engineering educational programs.
