The Center for Social Science Scholarship invites applications for Faculty Working Groups to promote intellectual exchange in the social sciences and across campus. These collaborative scholarly learning communities will meet regularly to engage in such activities as: working on research projects, reading key literature, exploring new methodological approaches, and/or engaging in matters of public interest related to the social sciences, across campus, or with community partners.

Up to four Faculty Working Groups will be selected by the center director and advisory board members. Groups should be faculty-led and must include at least one faculty member from a social science department at UMBC. Additional priority will be given to groups whose members and/or areas of interest are multi- or interdisciplinary. Advanced graduate students may participate as Faculty Working Group members but may not serve as leaders.

Faculty Working Groups can apply for up to $1,000 in annual support ($500 per semester); groups will also be able to apply for continuation funding. Groups may use funds for such items as: supporting regular group meetings; purchasing software, books, or other materials; hosting external speakers; creating scholarly resources; traveling to external sites for research or public engagement purposes; and other similar activities. A brief report of the group’s activities will be due at the end of the funding period.

Apply by May 31, 2021, for groups to begin in Fall 2021.

Applications should be submitted via email to socialscience@umbc.edu. Questions may be directed to Christine Mallinson, Director of the Center for Social Science Scholarship.

25th Annual FOCUS Graduate Student Conference at the University of Cincinnati, Department of German Studies
October 15 – 16, 2021

Speaking Identity – Identity in Second Language Studies

Keynote Speaker: Dr. Christine Mallinson; University of Maryland, Baltimore County

The concept of “identity” in its poststructural notion as a social process as opposed to a determined product is frequently employed and currently renegotiated in the humanities as well as in education and applied linguistics, often in contradictory manners. The conceptualization of identity in applied linguistics sparks fundamental disagreements around the term ‘identity’ itself, including debates about whether or not it is even appropriate as a blanket term. Nevertheless, identities, whether self- or otherwise ascribed, have created new challenges for language teaching, calling into question previously presumed notions of the ‘native/non-native speaker’ divide, ‘bilingualism’, and ‘first’ and ‘second language’. Within this larger discourse, the effects of identity inscriptions on
Second Language pedagogy needs further explorations. How, for example, do we teach gender neutral language for languages in which standardized options do not yet exist? Similarly, how do we teach certain linguistic forms (e.g. word order in German subordinate clauses or “double negatives” in English) associated with linguistic discrimination without replicating and reinforcing this linguistic discrimination?

The 25th Annual FOCUS Graduate Student Conference pursues to address the effects of the muddled terrain of poststructuralist linguistic identities on Second Language pedagogy. We seek to foster a dialogue between sociolinguistic theory and language teaching/learning realities.
Themes may include but are not limited to:
Whereas we are anticipating and encouraging academic discussion fostered by conventional conference presentations, we would also like to encourage students to present creative works that fit the overall frame of the conference (e.g. concept-grounded artistic approaches to pedagogy). We encourage submissions from all Germanic fields (i.e. Germanic languages and all Germanic dialects and varieties, including but not limited to English, German, Dutch, Yiddish, and Scandinavian
languages) but also welcome contributions from other disciplines. Submissions in German or English are welcome.

Current Graduate Students are invited to submit abstracts or project descriptions (250-300 words in length), accompanied by a short bio, to Mareike Lange and Barbara Besendorfer at UCGerman@uc.edu by May 15th, 2021. Please use the subject “Focus 25”.

Given the ongoing uncertainties, we will offer a hybrid model (Zoom or in person) for the conference. We would like to ask you to please indicate whether you preliminarily plan to attend in-person.
