DisAbility: The Power of Focusing on Ability
From Advocacy to Academics, Leveraging "I Can"
Diagnosed four years ago, Greta Thunberg has not let autism slow her down in her advocacy for people around the world to do their part in slowing down, or indeed ending, climate change. She has organized student strikes, addressed Swedish Parliament, sailed across the Atlantic on a carbon-neutral sailboat, and most recently spoken in front of the U.S. House of Representatives and the United Nations. Her ability to raise awareness about acting responsibly to end climate change has been very, very successful. Additionally, her experience has also demonstrated possibility to others with autism and disability, as representation matters, not just during
Disability Awareness Month, which starts tomorrow. Learn more about her work here:
Greta's global quest continues the legacy of people with a disabilities making the most of their circumstances, standing up and speaking up for initiatives that benefit communities, nations, and the world. Below are links to people with disabilities whose focus on ability has made a difference:

Researcher of the Week: Tony Cano
URA Scholar Conducts International Research in Colombia!
Anthony S. Cano is a URA Scholar and Media & Communication/ Political Science major, with a minor in Information Systems, who will graduate in Fall, 2020.
Title of your research project: Informal Resettlement of Internally Displaced People (IDPs) in Cartagena, Colombia: A Visual Exploration and Oral History.
Describe your project: My research project is about understanding the nature of IDPs, their resettlement process to urban areas, and their living conditions in their new settlements. I used two research methods during my field-work to withdraw evidence to analyze and answer my project questions.
Who is your mentor for your project?
Dr. Felipe Filomeno, Political Science.
How did you find your mentor?
I took Dr. Filomeno's POLI 361 - Comparative Political Analysis class and thought he was a good candidate due to his research background.
How did you become interested in this project?
I have done journalistic independent projects in the past about similar topics but after taking several political science classes, I wanted to conduct an interdisciplinary project using social science theories and my visual art skills. At the same time, I really wanted to know more about IDPs in general and the different types of migration.
What has been the hardest part about your research/what was the most unexpected thing about being a researcher?
The hardest part about my project has been transcribing the video-interviews because my subjects did not speak Spanish fluently. I did not expect to be planning every single activity or action throughout my research, however, this has also helped me to be more organized with my research deadlines.
What has been the most rewarding part?
The chance to travel to Colombia, South America to interview IDPs in Nelson Mandela, Cartagena, and experience a new culture.
How will you disseminate your research?
I intend to present my research at URCAD 2020, and hopefully publish a paper about my project findings.
What is your advice to other students about getting involved in research?
Research something you’re passionate about, educate yourself on the topic, become an expert on the topic, find an issue on the topic, study the issue closely, formulate an idea and make a proposal.
What are your career goals?
After graduation, I plan to pursue a career in photojournalism to have the opportunity to continue to study and research more issues like this one around the world.

Former URA Scholar Theodore Weinberg Publishes Paper!
2017-18 URA Scholar Theodore Weinberg's paper originating from his undergraduate research was published online over the Summer by SIAM Undergraduate Research Online.
Title: "Fast implementation of mixed RT0 finite elements in MATLAB"
https://www.siam.org/Portals/0/Publications/SIURO/Vol12/S01743.pdf?ver=2019-07-19-110553-217
https://www.siam.org/Publications/SIURO/Volume-12
Teddy is currently in the UMBC Applied Mathematics PhD program, still working with Dr. Sousedik on research, some of which continuing the undergraduate work.
Abstract:
We develop a fast implementation of the mixed finite element method for the Darcy’s problem discretized by lowest-order Raviart-Thomas finite elements using Matlab. The implementation is based on the so-called vector- ized approach applied to the computation of the finite element matrices and assembly of the global finite element matrix. The code supports both 2D and 3D domains, and the finite elements can be triangular, rectangular, tetrahedral or hexahedral. The code can also be easily modified to import user-provided meshes. We comment on our freely available code and present a performance comparison with the standard approach.
Congratulations!

What's Your Green Dot? Learn more through Green Dot Overview Training
Green Dot is built on the premise that in order to measurably reduce the perpetration of power-based personal violence, including sexual violence, partner violence, or stalking, a cultural shift is necessary. In order to create a cultural shift, a critical mass of people will need to engage in a new behavior or set of behaviors that will make violence less sustainable within any given community. The “new behavior” is a green dot. This extremely interactive session is great for you to:
- Understand the impact of power-based personal violence on campus and in various communities
- Learn how to identify power-based personal violence and respond within the bounds of your strengths and limitations
- Practice newly developed skills to be prepared for enacting this in your daily life
Contact Davonya Hall at davonya@umbc.edu with questions or to set up additional training opportunities.
If you or someone you know is experiencing relationship violence or power-based violence and would like to seek support, there are many campus resources available to you.
