Webb Lecture Event Today @ 4 PM! Humanities Forum with Kenda Mutongi
For the annual Robert K. Webb Lecture, the Department of History presents:

MATATU: A History of Popular Transportation in Kenya

Wednesday, October 20, 2021 · 4 - 5:30 PM
By,

Kenda Mutongi, Professor of History, Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Drive the streets of Nairobi, and you are sure to see many matatus—colorful minibuses that transport huge numbers of people around the city. Once ramshackle affairs held together with duct tape and wire, matatus today are name-brand vehicles maxed out with aftermarket detailing. This talk will focus on the various ways in which matatus offer a window onto the socioeconomic and political conditions of post-colonial Kenya. In their diversity of idiosyncratic designs, they reflect multiple and divergent aspects of Kenyan life—including, for example, rapid urbanization, organized crime, entrepreneurship, social insecurity, the transition to democracy, and popular culture—at once embodying Kenya’s staggering social problems as well as the bright promises of its future.

This event is part of the Dresher Center for the Humanities' Fall 2021 Humanities Forum.

UMBC is committed to creating an accessible and inclusive environment for all faculty, staff, students, and visitors. Live-captioning will be provided at all online events. To request additional accessibility accommodations, please contact us at dreshercenter@umbc.edu.

Submit application by November 15, 2021. 

The National Federation of the Blind via a Non-Visual Accessibility Initiate Grant from the State of Maryland has a great opportunity for faculty:

The Accessibility Inclusion Fellowship Program helps instructors begin to include accessibility concepts in at least one course offering in their institution with help from the nation’s blind. Your existing course does not need to have an accessibility component. The program consists of the following: 
  • Individualized consultation and assistance with course instruction from the National Federation of the Blind through our Center of Excellence in Nonvisual Access (CENA) 
  • Sharing of resources to enhance the accessibility of your course  
  • A monetary award. One award of $2,000 will be made to an instructor of a University System of Maryland (USM) school or a professor of an independent Maryland college, and two awards of $1,500 each will be made to Maryland community college instructors.
A brief document that outlines a streamlined application process is attached to this post.

What’s at stake? 

Individuals with disabilities, including the blind, cannot live the lives they want without full and equal access to the information and technologies available to the rest of the public, including products, services and benefits available on the Web and mobile applications. Equal access to information which includes non-visual access needs to be incorporated in the education track.

The National Federation of the Blind is committed to the development of innovative techniques for achieving non-visual access to information through the design and development of accessible information and technology systems.

UMBC joins NFB as we look forward together to the continued progress of equal access to information and technologies with your help. Together, we turn dreams into reality.

This Wednesday, the Women's Center's lactation room will be named the Maxine Tracy Wellness Room!!

Our new name comes in response to the generosity of Dr. Kate Tracy, M.A. ’01, Ph.D. ’03, psychology, who created an endowment for the Women's Center and named it in honor of her grandmother, Maxine Tracy.

"Raised in a small, mid-western town, Tracy looks back on her grandmother Maxine as a source of unconditional love and support. “My grandmother was a caregiver. In many ways, she was the northstar in my compass, and no matter where I roamed or what challenges life has brought, I always felt anchored—in the most positive way—to her. She did what she could where she was for as many as she could in the way that she could. She opened opportunities for a lot of women. And she will always be one of my heroes,” says Tracy, who is honoring the late Maxine with an endowment in her name to the Women’s Center. "

The above excerpt comes from "Living Her Values" written by Randianne Leyshon '09. Read the full story to learn more about Maxine and Kate  and the ways in which the Women's Center will benefit from this generous endowment for years to come. 

And, as mentioned in the title of this post, while it has a new name, the wellness space is still a space to support lactation, prayer, and meditation. For those looking to make reservations to use this space as a lactation room, contact the Women's Center at womenscenter@umbc.edu or visit this post for more details.
