<Title>Last Day to Enroll in Courses 9/10</Title>
<Tagline>Important words of advice</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">Hi Political Science Students,<div><br></div><div>I wanted to make all of you aware that tomorrow is the last day that you are able to enroll in a course for the semester. As many of you know, I do not encourage students to switch classes at this point in the semester because many classes have already had assignments due and collected. However, if you do decide to switch classes or enroll in a new course at this point in the semester, it is extremely important that you reach out to the professor of the course. I cannot emphasize this enough, especially now that the majority of classes are virtual. As a new student in the course, it is your responsibility to reach out to the professor via email and inquire about what you may have already missed and what you need to do in order to catch up in the class. In the virtual class setting it is more  difficult for the professors to tell if you have recently added their course. Thanks for taking on this responsibility during these unique times. </div></div>

Many of these resources are also available to our students. <a href="https://womenscenter.umbc.edu/resources-support/caregivers/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Please review the resources via this new website</a> and let us know if you have any questions or would like to schedule an <a href="https://womenscenter.umbc.edu/resources-support/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">individualized support meeting</a> with someone on our staff.</p><p>We know this website won't fix the complexities and stress that come from having our whole lives happening in one place at the same time which requires juggling of work, learning, teaching, caregiving (and more!) ... but we hope it may alleviate an extra google search here or there or get you connected with a support system you may not have yet. </p><p><em>Again, we'll say it: To our UMBC working parents and caretakers: We see you. We believe you. You matter. </em></p></div></div>

    <p>In 2019, former Senator and Secretary of State John Kerry

    goal is to drive 10 million climate conversations in 2020, including this
    webinar for AASCU members.  <br>
    <br>
    In this event, Kerry and Kasich will discuss the impacts of the climate crisis
    and pollution on American families and how our AASCU institutions can help
    prepare future a workforce that will lead America toward a clean energy economy
    that would create millions of good new jobs. They will engage in dialogue about
    how we can move beyond partisan politics and create a workforce for the future.

<Title>Faculty Working Groups for Fall 2020</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><div><h6>The Dresher Center for the Humanities welcomes one new Faculty Working Groups for 2020 - 2021: Latin American Feminisms (see description below)</h6></div><div><br></div><div>
    
    All Faculty Working Groups are accepting new members. To join a group, contact its leader(s) to find out about upcoming activities.</div><div><br></div><div>Digital Storytelling</div><div>Leaders: <a href="shewbrid@umbc.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Bill Shewbridge</a> (Media and Communication Studies) and <a href="bickel@umbc.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Bev Bickel</a> (Language, Literacy, and Culture Program)</div><div><br></div><div>This group explores the research focus of digital storytelling including discussions of digital literacies and competencies in the humanities and social sciences, narrative and storytelling research, and classroom work across disciplines. The working group serves as a steering body for ongoing digital storytelling activities and connects with other campus work that involves storytelling for civic agency and engagement. The group promotes opportunities for faculty involved in digital storytelling research to share their experiences through presentations, workshops, roundtables and a possible one-day conference.</div><div><br></div><div>Disability Studies</div><div>Leaders: <a href="holladay@umbc.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Drew Holladay</a> (English) and <a href="stran@umbc.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Sharon Tran</a> (English)</div><div><br></div><div>This group will focus on reading interdisciplinary scholarship in disability studies (DS) and its application in higher education and other contexts. They will read and discuss DS and DS-related theories of embodiment, epistemology, methodology, subaltern politics, and cultural analysis. Applications of DS include programs of inclusion, universal design, and accessibility in education and elsewhere (such as accessibility in technology and digital spaces). Group conversations will include how faculty can use DS scholarship in their classes and to redesign their own teaching practices. <br></div><div><br></div><div><strong>Immigration</strong></div><div>Leaders: <a href="poggio@umbc.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Sara Poggio</a> (Modern Languages, Linguistics and Intercultural Communications), <a href="gindling@umbc.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">T. H. (Tim) Gindling</a> (Economics), and <a href="filomeno@umbc.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Felipe Filomeno</a> (Political Science and Global Studies)</div><div><br></div><div>The Immigration faculty working group brings together faculty members and graduate students who study international migration. Its purpose is to promote interdisciplinary collaboration in teaching, research, and service related to international migration at UMBC. International migration is a complex phenomenon, with cultural, economic and political aspects. Its causes, processes and consequences have been analyzed in multiple disciplines, from a variety of theoretical perspectives and with different research methods. UMBC currently has several faculty members and graduate students whose work on immigration reflects this diversity of approaches. However, for the most part, this work has been carried out independently, by individual faculty members and graduate students within their home departments. There is an untapped potential for interdisciplinary collaboration in teaching, research and service related to this broad theme. <br></div><div><br></div><div><strong>*NEW* Latin American Feminisms</strong></div><div><em>Leaders: <a href="mcelleri@umbc.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">María Célleri</a> (Gender, Women’s, and Sexuality Studies), <a href="lizarazo@umbc.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Tania Lizarazo</a> (Modern Languages, Linguistics, and Intercultural Communications and Global Studies), Y<a href="yolanda@umbc.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">olanda Valencia</a> (Geography and Environmental Systems), and <a href="munozt@umbc.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Thania Muñoz D</a>. (Modern Languages, Linguistics, and Intercultural Communication)</em></div><div><br></div><div>The Latin American Feminisms Working Group is an interdisciplinary multilingual research group that focuses on feminist and decolonial Latin American and Caribbean scholarship from a hemispheric perspective. Attentive to the inequitable politics of translation between South America and North America, the group centers scholarship from and for Latin America and the Caribbean.In particular, it considers the formation of Latin American and Caribbean feminisms from a decolonial and intersectional framework that honors the work of Indigenous, Black, and Brown women. We bring together faculty, graduate students, artists, and community members from the humanities and social sciences to engage in and debate issues around race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, class, mobility, feminism and decoloniality as these pertain to the Latin American and Caribbean hemisphere, which begins in the Southern Cone and extends to the Latinx/Chicanx diaspora. We read and discuss recent work around Latin American and Caribbean studies, invite scholars from Latin America to speak about their work, as well as collaborate to support our work and move our research projects forward.</div><div><br></div><div><strong>Sound Studies</strong></div><div><em>Leader: <a href="earlb@umbc.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Earl Brooks</a> (English)</em></div><div><br></div><div>Over the past decade, sound studies has been generating a buzz in disciplines across the humanities. The dual purpose of this group is to: 1) facilitate more cross-disciplinary discussions about sound, and 2) bring together faculty members with shared interests to encourage collaboration. The group discusses relevant sound studies issues from different disciplinary perspectives, has informal presentations of their own in-process work, and listens to invited talks from guest speakers.
