Repost: Dr. Banu Subramaniam: Migrant Ecologies: Plant Worlds and the Afterlives of Empire
Korenman Lecture
Repost from Department of Gender, Women's, + Sexuality Studies
Thursday, October 16, 2025 · 4 - 5:30 PM
Library and Gallery, Albin O. Kuhn
How have histories of colonialism and their foundational language of gender, race, sexuality, and nation shaped the language, terminology, and theories of the modern plant sciences? How and why do botanical theories remain grounded in the violence of their colonial pasts? Join feminist botanist, Dr. Banu Subramaniam, who develops the concept of migrant ecologies to retheorize plant migration and reproductive biology. This lecture explores new biological frameworks that harness the power of feminist thought to reimagine and reinvigorate our love of plants.
About the Speaker:
Dr. Banu Subramaniam is the Luella LaMer Professor of Women’s and Gender Studies at Wellesley College. Trained as a plant evolutionary biologist, Dr. Banu engages the feminist studies of science in the practices of experimental biology and is author of Botany of Empire (2024), Holy Science (2019) and Ghost Stories for Darwin (2016).
Co-sponsors and Partners: Social Science Forum, The Center for the Social Sciences Scholarship, and the Department of Geography and Environmental Systems

More about Culture Building at UMBC
Culture building is the intentional process of developing and nurturing a set of shared values, beliefs, and practices within an organization or community. Culture builders are actors who intentionally seek to foster a positive and productive environment.
Especially during times of deep societal polarization and loss of shared humanity, an inclusive and equitable culture benefits and requires everyone; we all have a role to play in building the culture we want to see.
The Culture Builders series will host a keynote and set of community conversations each semester focused on connecting community and culture across difference. The series is designed to engage topics and ideas grounded in shared community values, beliefs, and practices that pull us closer to a more loving and just campus. Join us for engaging lectures and community dialogues.

RSVP strongly suggested as a prompt will be provided in advance to help folks prepare. RSVP here: bit.ly/MP_GAworkshop The Global Asias Initiative at UMBC is now offering the third round of its student research fellowship in Global Asias in the amount of $500 where students will work with faculty and community partners on an independent study in the field for a period of one semester. We’re currently accepting applications for projects taking place in Fall 2025.
The fellowship supports a research project supervised by a UMBC faculty member working in the field of Global Asias. The project should explore a topic in the field of Global Asias: broadly construed to include Asian American studies, Asian studies, or Asian diaspora studies in global context. The exact parameters (length, format, etc) will be set by your faculty advisor. Depending on your major and your academic and professional plans, your project may consist of a scholarly research project or a creative product with a significant research component. At the end of the year, students will submit the final project to their faculty advisor and may be asked to do a brief presentation on their topic to fellow students and faculty in Global Asias. We highly encourage proposals for projects that use methods, ideas, and approaches from more than one discipline. We also encourage students to consider working with a community partner, or incorporating a public-facing component into their work.
The proposed project should be humanities research. Broadly speaking, the “humanities” means the study of human society and culture. Humanities majors or minors typically include but are not limited to: Africana Studies; American Studies; Anthropology; Art and Art History; Asian and Asian American Studies; English; History; Human Rights; Journalism; Latinx Studies; Media and Communication Studies, Philosophy; Sociology; Gender, Women’s, and Sexuality Studies.
Eligibility
Fellowship applicants should be rising sophomores, rising juniors, or Master’s students in good academic standing.
Application

- What is your project’s title?
- What question(s) is your project asking related to the field of Global Asias, and why are those questions important to you, your community, and society?
- What is your plan for the project? What work will you do to try to answer its questions? What plans do you have for publicly sharing your project? (URCAD? UMBC Review? other)
- How do you think working on this project contributes to your own goals? - A writing sample of your best research and writing (for example, your best final paper).
- A brief email from a UMBC faculty member that states their willingness to supervise the project over the course of semester and what course or independent study you will be registering for with them to support the project. (The faculty member should email their letter directly to tbhalla@umbc.edu. There’s no need to wait until the letter is complete to submit the rest of your application.)

The Global Asias Initiative at UMBC is now offering the third round of its Course Expansion Grants for coursework in Fall 2025. These grants are offered once per semester (till Spring 2026) for up to $2,000 to fund curricular innovations especially around the incorporation of a public humanities or community-engaged component into existing courses that serve the Asian Studies program, the Asian American studies minor and fit within the field of Global Asias. The course expansion grants are intended to support the development of Global Asias courses that centralize diasporic, transnational, and ethnic studies approaches.
The courses may be co-taught by faculty and community collaborators and include community-based research projects, the integration of digital tools, or a key activity to make the course more public facing. The expenses may include honoraria for speakers, supplies, books, and technology tools. We will provide funding for one course per semester starting in Fall 2024 and continuing through Spring 2026. Funds must be spent during the semester the course is taught; however, some funding may be used for course preparation and conceptualization on a case by case basis, if requested.
We are accepting applications for Fall 2025. The application is due April 1, 2025.
Before submission, applicants should discuss their proposed course expansion grant with Tamara Bhalla (tbhalla@umbc.edu), Co-PI and Meredith Oyen (oyen@umbc.edu), Key Faculty Leader of the Global Asias Mellon Initiative.
To apply please submit a brief description (no more than 500 words) describing the proposed course expansion and explaining how the course expansion fits within the field of Global Asias. Please also submit a proposed budget.
Past Course Expansion Grants have supported:
Fall 2024: To supplement the course, AMST375 - Studies in Asian American Culture, students and faculty took a field trip to the Smithsonian National Museum of American History, where they had a guided tour by Theo Gonzalves, curator of Asian Pacific American History. They also visited the exhibit Sightlines: Chinatown and Beyond sponsored by the Smithsonian Asia Pacific Center.
Spring 2025: In conjunction with the course MLL 315, Images of Society in Contemporary Korean Film, Dr. Kyung-Eun Yoon is hosting a screening of CHOSEN on March 13, 2025. The film is a documentary by Joseph Juhn, that sheds light on the struggles and triumphs of five Korean Americans who ran for US Congress in 2020.

Seeking Applicants: UMD Post-Doctoral Associate in Asian American Studies
The Calvin J. Li Fellowship is intended to support a recent PhD with expertise in the issues facing second-generation children/adolescents of immigrants to the United States. A focus of the fellowship program is research on how children of parents from Asian backgrounds navigate family, community, and life in the United States. Successful applicants might focus on the challenges facing second-generation youth, identity formation, racial and ethnic representation, acculturation, transnationalism, family dynamics, or closely related topics. The Li Fellow will teach one class a semester for the Asian American Studies Program related to their research. In addition, the Li Fellow has the opportunity to present their research to the University community through public lectures and, in particular, will distill research for a lay audience through a community-based lecture that will be coordinated by the Asian American Studies Program in conjunction with local Asian American community organizations and held in a local, off-campus location. The successful applicant is expected to work closely with a core or affiliate faculty member in the Asian American Studies Program and is expected to take an active role in dissemination of research related to the children of immigrants through traditional and new media outlets. The fellow will have opportunities for participating in research, writing and developing their own research questions, for seeking additional training and consultation, and for presenting their research findings at national conferences.
Asian American Studies at the University of Maryland is a program of study that draws upon the experiences of Asian and Pacific Islander Americans to explore critical questions about identity, representation, and power. Through a focus on Asian American communities, students learn about how racial categories are constructed, how groups are represented, and how power shapes social, political, and historical dynamics. The varied experiences of Asian Americans highlight a complex racial positioning that reflects both privilege and marginalization. As a predominantly foreign born group with members that hail from many different places, the experiences of Asian Americans also tell us much about how migration and transnationalism affect identity and belonging across diverse social, political and economic arenas.
The Asian American Studies Program is housed in the Office of Undergraduate Studies and offers 10-15 classes each semester taught by the program’s four core faculty and numerous affiliate and part-time lecturers. For more information about the Asian American Studies Program visit
