<Title>URCAD Sneak Peek: Caitlyn Hooper</Title>
<Tagline>Consent-based theatre practices for staging intimacy</Tagline>

    <div class="html-content">
    <div>Don't miss Caitlyn's presentation on staging intimacy in the theatre at URCAD, April 19-25th at:</div>
    <div>URCAD.umbc.edu</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><u>Abstract</u></div>
    <div>Mentor: Susan Stroupe (Theatre)</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><span>Intimacy Direction is a movement pedagogy used to stage intimate moments in theatre and film. In the past decade, the demand for intimacy coordinators and choreographers has grown exponentially, but the need for this work has been around much longer. Intimacy direction arose from the need to have a safe process for choreographing intimacy that both reduced the potential for abuses of power and created better performances. This research will exemplify why the consent-based practices of intimacy direction is the only way forward for theatre by first looking at the development of intimacy direction in recent theatrical history, and then discussing intersectionality between intimacy direction and anti-racist theatre movement. Consent-based practices are transforming theatre, along with the anti-racist theatre movement, which centers Black, Indigenous and People of Color’s voices in a long overdue conversation about racial equity. These changes to the theatre systems can redistribute power to make theatre more ethical and safe. This research will not only demonstrate how theatrical intimacy creates better performances but also how it encourages society to reframe how it views sex, intimacy and consent. This crucial change in theatre culture is the only way forward.</span></div>

    <div class="html-content">
    <div>April is known as Autism Awareness Month, including April 2 as <a href="https://www.un.org/en/observances/autism-day" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">World Autism Awareness Day (link)</a>.   In listening to many within the<span> </span><span>Autism community - there is a call for media to move from using awareness to “acceptance” this year to foster change and inclusivity for those affected by autism – </span><a href="https://www.autism-society.org/releases/media-urged-to-recognize-shift-from-autism-awareness-month-to-autism-acceptance-month-this-april/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">read more about it from the Autism Society here</a><span>.  Information on <a href="https://www.autism-society.org/what-is/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">What is Autism is linked here</a>.</span>
    </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>People of all identities around the world live, go to school and go to work with the neurodiversity that Autism brings to a world, often with struggle and difficulty. UMBC's students, faculty, staff, and visitors have this neurodiversity as well.  While many learn and work well with best practices and accessible design,  students (both undergraduate and graduate), as well as faculty and staff who experience disability with a diagnosed health condition (which includes autism) may seek accommodations through <a href="https://sds.umbc.edu/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Student Disability Services (link)</a> for academic programs, as well as <a href="https://accessibility.umbc.edu/employee-accommodations/requesting-work-related-accommodations-at-umbc-procedures/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">work-related accommodations via Accessibility &amp; Disability Services</a>. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>UMBC is not unique with inclusion, accessibility and accommodation of people with autism on the job- some employers have specialized programs including <a href="http://www.freddiemac.com/about/people/autism-as-asset.html" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Freddie Mac (link)</a>, <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/diversity/inside-microsoft/cross-disability/hiring.aspx" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Microsoft (link)</a>, as well as <a href="https://www.accountingtoday.com/news/ey-steps-up-recruitment-of-disabled-and-autism-spectrum-employees" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Ernst &amp; Young</a>, in addition to <a href="https://askjan.org/disabilities/Autism-Spectrum.cfm" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">requesting job accommodations</a> generally. <a href="https://www.askamanager.org/2021/03/interview-with-an-employee-at-a-majority-autistic-company.html" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Symone, an adult with autism, was interviewed by Ask a Manager’s Alison Green about her work experience at a majority-autistic company (link)</a> and reviews several modifications to the hiring process that provide disability-friendly solutions for Autistic job seekers.</div>

    <div><span>The 2020 election is officially over and Joe Biden has been inaugurated as the 46th president of the United States, yet over half of the Republican party continue to question the election results. As unsubstantiated claims of voter fraud fueled by Trump and his supporters dominate the headlines, I argue that voter suppression of Black and Latinx voters should instead be foregrounded as a major threat to democracy. This research will examine voter suppression in presidential elections using content analysis of newspaper and scholarly articles. First, I will compare incidents of voter suppression found in the 2012 and 2016 presidential elections to evaluate the effects of the 2013 Shelby County v Holder decision which rendered some sections of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 unconstitutional. Next, I will evaluate incidents of voter suppression in the 2020 election. Lastly, using scholarly work, law reviews, and policy proposals, I will analyze ways to protect the right to vote. This research bridges the fields of American Studies and Political Science by evaluating the topics of voting and elections through a humanities lens to bring a greater understanding of how voter suppression affects the citizens of our democracy.</span></div>

<Title>UMBC's 2021 Virtual Sexual Assault Awareness Month</Title>
<Tagline>We see you. We believe you. You matter.</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <span><p><span><strong>Sexual Assault Awareness Month</strong> brings people together to create and generate discussion and skill-building on how to prevent sexual violence in our schools, workplaces, and communities. While providing support and care to survivors of sexual violence is an everyday action, this awareness month also carves out intentional moments to honor and believe survivors’ stories and experiences. 
    
    </span></p>
    <p><span>We are saddened that for another year in a row that the pandemic has impacted our ability to physically come together this April to do this critical work. The <a href="https://womenscenter.umbc.edu/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Women’s Center</a> and all of our campus partners including the <a href="https://oei.umbc.edu/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Office of Equity and Inclusion</a>, <a href="https://uhs.umbc.edu/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">University Health Services</a>, the<a href="https://counseling.umbc.edu/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"> Counseling Center</a>, <a href="https://conduct.umbc.edu/programs/what-is-green-dot/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Green Dot</a>, <a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/webelieveyou" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">We Believe You</a>, and <a href="https://courage.umbc.edu/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Retriever Courage</a>, and more will nonetheless continue to promote awareness and prevention this month. </span><span>We are inviting our UMBC community to join our efforts.</span></p>

We are alongside you in that grieving process, and we hope that in these extraordinary times, we can continue to act with extraordinary compassion and conscientiousness to prevent sexual violence at UMBC and beyond.</em></span></p>
    <strong><br></strong><p><span><strong>And, remember, no matter where you are, dear survivors, we see you. We believe you. You matter. Always.</strong></span></p>
