<Title>How (Not) to Win the URCAD Selfie Contest</Title>
<Tagline>Pro Tips on the Art of the Selfie from UMBC Faculty &amp; Staff</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">Ms. C. Cowden (Library Area) provided us with a fine example of how <em>not </em>to win the URCAD Selfie Contest on April 12, 2023.<div><br></div>
    <div>"While there is technically nothing wrong with Ms. Cowden's selfie, she is masked and seems to have ears and antlers that she does not have in real life," said a well-known selfie critic who refused to be identified.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>"I thought it was a good effort," noted Cowden, a longtime UMBC employee and music enthusiast, who submitted her selfie by telefax early this morning. "I'm not sure why I have those fake ears and antlers but people do that, right? They add animal parts? I think it's legal, right?"</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div> Nevertheless, this is a salient example of how <em>not </em>to take a selfie.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Ms. Cowden still has time, however, to submit a second attempt and she could still win one of several fabulous prizes. Here's how:</div>

    <p><span>The Language of Toys: Transmission and Circulation of Gender Ideologies</span></p>
    <p><span><em>Theo Reinert</em></span><br>Mentor: Jason Loviglio, Media and Communication Studies</p>
    <p><span>This research explores what makes a toy gendered, how it is gendered, and what it means for a material object to carry ideology. Toys are given to children to entertain and educate them on things such as gender roles. For a long time, separate toys were marketed and sold to girls and boys, until large chains such as Target and Walmart, two of the largest toy distributors in the country, removed gendered signage from their toy aisles. Despite these changes, many toys continue to reinforce the gender binary through their designs and marketing. 20 toys purchased from Walmart were analyzed through Multimodal Critical Discourse Analysis (MCDA) and ideological analysis to see what gender ideologies they carry and how they are instantiated. Gender ideologies code toys to emphasize certain values, such as mobility for boys and socializing for girls. For example, toys that move, such as a fire engine, are more likely to be marketed towards boys. It is Walmart’s careful marketing that contributes which toys are sold and therefore which ideologies are circulated, affecting the lived experiences of the people who play with them.</span></p>

    <p><strong><br></strong></p>
    <p><strong>What is <span>Food</span> for <span>Fines</span>?</strong> A program created to collect <span>food</span> and toiletries for UMBC students facing <span>food</span> insecurity. The program runs from April 3-14 with a goal of helping as many students as possible.</p>
    <br><p><strong>How does it work?</strong> From April 3-14, simply bring in five or more items from the most needed items list (attached) and we will reduce one active citation to a warning (the citation must be $40 or less). Previously paid citations are not eligible. All donations must be made at the Parking Services offices from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, by April 14. </p>
    <br><p><strong>Don't have any citations? </strong>We are happy to accept any and all donations. We just ask that your items be unopened and non-expired. </p>
    <br><p>College is hard enough to manage without dealing with hunger. Your help can mean so much.</p>
    <br><p>A little bit can help so many! Questions? Contact Parking Services at 410-455-2551 or email us at <a href="http://null/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">parking@umbc.edu</a></p>
