Global Perspectives on English Teaching

English is an international language that is taught in schools throughout the
world. While there are commonalities, there is also substantial variation in
how English education manifests in the school systems of different countries.
In this session celebrating English Language Day, moderated by Professor
Francis M. Hult, international students in UMBC's TESOL program offer an
overview of how English language teaching and learning takes shape in
Argentina, Bolivia, Egypt, and Iran.

A Brief Introduction to Computational Linguistics

In this talk, I will present a brief overview of the field of computational
linguistics The era of Artificial Intelligence is truly upon us, and we find
ourselves relying on a dazzling assortment of software applications in
our daily lives that are driven by language technologies But what's
fueling the dizzying advancement of these technologies? What roles
do linguists and language data play in their development? And, how
could key data resources like corpora be also useful in language
education? These are some of the questions I hope to address

The Barry Goldwater Scholarship and Excellence in Education Foundation was established by Congress in 1986 to serve as a living memorial to honor the lifetime work of Senator Barry Goldwater, who served his country for 56 years as a soldier and statesman, including 30 years in the U.S. Senate.

By providing scholarships to college sophomores and juniors who intend to pursue research careers in the natural sciences, mathematics and engineering, the Goldwater Foundation is helping ensure that the U.S. is producing the number of highly-qualified professionals the Nation needs in these critical fields. Over its 30-year history, Goldwater Scholarships have been awarded to thousands of undergraduates, many of whom have gone on to win other prestigious awards like the National Science Foundation’s Graduate Fellowship, Rhodes Scholarship, Churchill Scholarship and the National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate Fellowship that support our Scholars’ graduate school work. Today, Goldwater alumni can be found conducting research that is helping defend the Nation, finding cures for catastrophic diseases and teaching future generations of scientists, mathematicians and engineers.

This is the second year in a row UMBC students have won 4 scholarships, the most available.

Congratulations!!

This event was reposted on behalf of Individualized Studies, original post here

UMBC undergraduate students: Sign up to participate in a fun and engaging art-making workshop that will help you harness the power you have to shape your world.

During the workshop, participants will reflect on significant experiences in their lives by using everyday objects to make art. You do not need to be an "artist" to participate -- in fact, this workshop will be particularly useful for you if you do not consider yourself an artist. We will explore how the practice of art-making as well as our stories can be sources of insight that can help us make important contributions in our communities. You can expect a lively and meaningful hour and a half spent creatively expressing yourself and making connections with other UMBC students.

The workshop will be facilitated by UMBC student Tess McRae as part of her Individualized Study (INDS) senior capstone project. 
The event is this Thursday, April 7, from 5 - 6:30 p.m. in Commons 318.

Masks will be required.

Spots are limited. If you are interested in participating, please RSVP here by Tuesday, April 5 at 11:59 p.m.

Please email tmcrae2@umbc.edu with any questions about the workshop.

Maintaining Positive Mental Health In Nursing Home Caregivers
Presenter: Laura-Catherine Bando
Mentor: Louise Murray (Aging Studies)

Abstract:
According to the National Center of Health Statistics (2019), approximately1.3 million older adults live in nursing homes in the US. Nursing homes, or skilled nursing facilities, provide 24/7 medical care for those who need short term rehabilitation and those for whom the nursing home is their permanent home due to their level of health needs (National Institute on Aging, 2017). With many residents residing for a decade or more in the same community, relationships form between staff and residents (Ådland et al., 2021). Consequently, feelings of extreme grief and distress may be expressed by staff when residents pass away and the repetition of loss can take a major toll on mental wellbeing, due to a lack of opportunity to step back and grieve (Ådland et al.,2021). A review of the literature exploring the impact of grief and loss, following the passing of nursing home residents, on the staff who care for them will be provided. Recommendations for practice will be made and a strategy presented that can be implemented within the long term healthcare field to support formal caregivers when coping with the loss of residents with whom they may have formed deep connections.

Exploring Stories Of Political Activism And Ideological Perpetuation In Black Religious Institutions 

Joshua Gray
Mentors: Ann Sofie Clemmensen (Dance), Liz Patton (MCS)

Abstract:
The presence of political debate and activism at dining tables, conference rooms, and other traditionally apolitical spaces has burgeoned in recent history. The Black church has been one of these politically transformed spaces that have been impactful in promoting movements around political ideologies. The Black body is political, and so are all cultural and religious practices from that experience. This research uses ethnographic and choreographic practices to explore themes of embodied Blackness, relational power, and institutionally-bound socio-political obligations. This research considers the question: how do congregants within Black Religious Institutions identify with their role in the political landscape that has led to change in diplomacy, legislation, awareness and transparency, civic engagement, and rights expansion -- even on a microscale. Through collecting and interpreting oral histories within Black Religious Institutions, these stories and interactions informed a new contemporary choreographic work and an inquiry into choreographic methodologies foregrounding Africanist movement expression and values.

UMBC undergraduate students: Sign up to participate in a fun and engaging art-making workshop that will help you harness the power you have to shape your world.

During the workshop, participants will reflect on significant experiences in their lives by using everyday objects to make art. You do not need to be an “artist” to participate — in fact, this workshop will be particularly useful for you if you do not consider yourself an artist. We will explore how the practice of art-making as well as our stories can be sources of insight that can help us make important contributions in our communities. You can expect a lively and meaningful hour and a half spent creatively expressing yourself and making connections with other UMBC students.

The workshop will be facilitated by UMBC student Tess McRae as part of her Individualized Study (INDS) senior capstone project.

Masks will be required.

Spots are limited. If you are interested in participating, please RSVP here by Tuesday, April 5 at 11:59 p.m.

Please email tmcrae2@umbc.edu with any questions about the workshop.
