URCAD Sneak Peek: Cassie Davis
Anti-immigrant Sentiment in American Newspaper Rhetoric
Cassie is an American Studies major, and a member of Phi Kappa Phi Honor Society. She will be presenting her research: "Implications of Rhetoric: An Historical Newspaper Analysis of Immigration Policy" at Virtual URCAD 2020!
Abstract:
Nativism stems from an adverse reaction to immigration in the U.S., resulting in exclusionary immigration policies. This project studies nativism and racialized rhetoric surrounding immigration to identify parallels between the Trump administration’s Muslim ban and restrictive immigration rhetoric and legislation in two other periods of U.S. history. The legislative policies were chosen to represent a range of racialized experiences, as well as the indiscreet, racialized, and pejorative language used within the policies themselves. By comparing the rhetoric underpinning exclusionary policies of the Chinese Exclusion Act, Operation Wetback, and Executive Order 13780 (Muslim ban); this research will demonstrate how language connected to these policies is used to justify the discriminatory and inhumane treatment of immigrants in the US. Given that the breadth of sources is so vast, this project has only focused on rhetoric appearing in the New York Times. Additionally, this study examines scholarship on American nativism to analyze how such rhetoric describes migrants as criminal, amoral, or less-than-human, to justify biased and inhumane treatment of these potential migrants and encourage anti-immigrant sentiment among Americans.

URCAD Sneak Peek: Kyle Hartford
The Last Roadshow: The Death of Cinema?
Kyle is a Linehan Artist Scholar and a Visual Arts major, with a concentration in cinematic arts. He is also the SGA coordinator of photography and videography. His film, "The Last Roadshow" will be presented as part of at Virtual URCAD 2020!
Abstract:
A roadshow was a special presentation of a film used in the golden age of Hollywood. This piece is meant to be a worn-down, deterioration of a roadshow release. The medium of film has changed. People are no longer amazed by a moving image, no matter how beautiful. I searched in the film archives of the Visual Arts department and found a beautiful 16mm print of a documentary about the making of the Lincoln Center in New York. In this footage, we see famous soprano Risë Stevens, who also appeared in many golden age Hollywood films such as Going My Way. I found this footage mesmerizing and tragic. The technicolor took me back to another time. I wanted to give viewers this feeling for the beginning of the piece. Slowly, I start to implement more aggressive visuals. I painted onto 16mm analog film strips and digitized the archive footage as well as the archive footage. In order to view the film reels before a digital transfer, I loaded the reels onto a Steenbeck. With the digitized footage, I faded the archive footage into the painted strips. This is meant to symbolize the death of a more innocent time in cinema.
Mentor: Cathy Cook, Visual Arts, UMBC

URCAD Sneak Peek: Keren Herran
Social Determinants of Health and Pregnancy in Rural Ecuador
Keren is an Individualized Study major, a member of the Honors College, Meyerhoff Scholar, and LSAMP participant. She will be presenting her research: "Children Raising Children: A Qualitative Study of the Social Determinants of Adolescent Pregnancy in Rural Ecuador" at Virtual URCAD 2020!
Abstract:
According to Ecuador's most recent census, 1/5 of pregnancies are from adolescent mothers -- elevating rates of poverty, maternal and child mortality, and birth complications. Hence, our research question: how do social determinants of health (SDOH) cause adolescent pregnancy in rural Ecuador?
Our research team analyzed 3 focus groups composed of 5-7 adolescent (14-21 years old) mothers who had recently (within two years) given birth in El Quinche, Lumbisi, and Pifo. In depth interviews with 10 key informants (health officials, providers, and policy-makers) were also organized to explore perceptions regarding interventions and causes of adolescent pregnancy. Our team interviewed until reaching saturation of information, validating collected data through triangulation. We applied grounded theory for analysis via open, axial, and selective coding using NVivo software.
Our data revealed that the root SDOH causing adolescent pregnancy includes compromised sexual education, shame in discussing the topic, and troubled households. Therefore, we recommend that Ecuador focus on improving the quality of sexual education in schools, creating a positive sexual environment, and encouraging female empowerment. Ultimately, gaining a better understanding of the causes of adolescent pregnancy can inform the formulation of more effective interventions in Ecuador and beyond.

URCAD Sneak Peek: Alex Schobitz
Emotional: An Animated Self-portrait
Alex is a Visual Arts major, with a concentration in film animation. They will be exhibiting their work: "Emotional," at Virtual URCAD 2020!
Abstract:
"Emotional" is an animated self portrait depicting the struggle one faces when dealing with bipolar one disorder. The boy, a representation of the animator, has a series of rapid mood swings that plunge him into an uncontrollable surge of emotion. He must figure out a way to regain control of his feelings and get help. The piece was created through several different animation techniques. The greyscale paper dolls that functioned as the body for the protagonist were made by hand and given life through stop motion animation and use of a greenscreen. Layered on top of this, was digital animation for the rushing emotions, as well as digital rotoscoping for the boy’s expressions. The stop motion animation was done under a DSLR camera and then processed through Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Premiere Pro. The sound design for this piece was created in Ableton Live and Adobe Audition, and recrafted with permissions from FreeSound.org, and UMBC’s Sound Vault. This animation is intended to give viewers a glimpse into the tidal waves of emotions that so deeply affect not only the animator but anyone who struggles with bipolar one disorder.
Mentor: Corrie Parks
Come see Alex's film and other undergraduate research and creative work, April 22-29th at URCAD.umbc.edu!

URCAD Sneak Peek: Joanna Bigelow
Portraits: An Exploration of the Human Spirit
Joanna is a Visual Arts major, and an intern in the art department at Catonsville High School. She will be exhibiting her work: "Portraits: An Exploration of the Human Spirit" at Virtual URCAD 2020!
Artist's Statement:
My goal in creating a piece of art is to convey the truth that lies in beauty. My focus in my work is creating solid forms and expressing rhythm in the face and the body. My style is a mix of realism and impressionism. I work primarily with charcoal and oil paint, but I am also adept at working in digital media and 3-D design. My medium and approach are often seen as traditional, but I desire to show the sacredness of nature and humanity. I am always in a state of learning. My approach is to constantly re-invent and conceptualize the way I see things. My work, as a result, has a life of its own and a sense of balance.
Come see Joanna's artwork and other undergraduate research and creative work , April 22-29th at URCAD.umbc.edu!

URCAD Moving Online, April 22-29th!
A virtual tour of undergraduate research and creative work
UMBC's 24th Annual Undergraduate Research and Creative Achievement Day
(URCAD) was originally scheduled to be held on campus
on April 22, 2020. Due to the campus closure, URCAD will be moving online, April 22-29th.
Converting URCAD from an on-campus, day-long symposium to an online event will be supported by a technology called VoiceThread (VT), an asynchronous (“not in real time”) platform for media-rich conversations that can occur anytime, anywhere. This means attendees will still be able to see students' research posters and slides, as well as art, performances, films, and video games, and be able to leave video, voice, or text feedback for the presenters. This way, participants create a sense of personal “presence” in the online environment, and students will be able to respond to questions and receive feedback during the week-long event.
We hope to preserve the spirit of URCAD and make this a meaningful, learning, sharing, and celebratory event for our campus community.
Check in with
urcad.umbc.edu for updates.
