Real People Profiles: Corinne Janet
We're asking some of the people you might encounter on the UMBC campus, including students, faculty, staff and alumni, to answer a few questions about themselves and their experiences. These are their responses.
Name: Corinne Janet
Hometown: Irvine, California
Q: How long have you been at UMBC?
A: This is my first semester at UMBC
Q: What is your current title (job or student organization position)?
A: Coordinator for Leadership Development
Q: In 12 words or less, what role(s) do you play on campus?
A: Develop leaders who work collaboratively to make positive changes in our communities.
Q: What aspect of your UMBC role(s) do you enjoy most?
A: There's nothing like a student having an "a-ha" moment (that feeling when you have an insight or a discovery) about their identity, their leadership style, or a breakthrough when working in groups or teams. I'm so fortunate that in my work I get to witness and facilitate many "a-ha" moments with students, and in return, I've had many personal "a-ha" moments as well.
Q: What is the most important or memorable thing you learned in college/have learned at UMBC?
A: Teamwork really does make the dream work. When I began college, I did not know how to collaborate well with others, often not sharing responsibility and stressing myself out because there was too much to be done. Rather quickly I learned that I need to learn on others who have different talents than I do to support and accomplish our shared goals.
Q: What is one way you have worked with others to make a positive difference at UMBC or in another community?
A: I was on the Executive Board for Northwestern University's Dance Marathon, and I felt that student participants could do more to engage regularly with the local community organizations that were beneficiaries of Dance Marathon. So, my co-chair and I worked together with local libraries, food banks, and other organizations in the surrounding community to create ongoing opportunities for students to engage with the community instead of passively raising money. In addition to the many hours of service that supported important projects around Evanston, the program helped my fellow Northwestern students develop a sense that civic engagement is an important component of the college experience.
Q: Complete this sentence: "I am a big fan of __________"
Q: Do you have any UMBC stories, little-known facts about UMBC, favorite spots on campus, or anything else you’d like to share?
A: I'm still new to campus, but I've had the chance to explore the rock garden, and I love the fact that there's a little oasis that takes me away from the hustle and bustle of a busy campus.

Event: Carole McCann: Figuring the Population Bomb
Malthusian Masculinities and Demographic Transitions
December 7th - 4:00 to 5:30 pm
Albin O. Khun Gallery (Library)
10TH ANNUAL KORENMAN LECTURE
Carole McCann, Chair and Professor of Gender + Women’s Studies, UMBC
On
November 11, 1959, the television broadcast CBS Reports: The Population
Explosion presented nine million viewers with the facts of the world
population crisis, saying “its volatile ingredients are statistical.”
Rebroadcast a year later to an even larger audience, the report
investigated an issue that fueled public anxiety about potential war,
famine, and related doomsday scenarios. Drawing from her new book, Figuring the Population Bomb: Gender and Demography in the Mid-Twentieth Century,
Carole McCann traces the genealogy of the statistics that underwrote
the midcentury panic about population growth. She illuminates the
gendered geopolitical grounds and affective commitments of the
specialized mathematical culture that composed the figures of the
population explosion. The talk traces the inferential logics by which
demographers’ quantification practices configured women’s bodies,
especially women of color, as excessively fertile by nature; defined
that fertility as the singular cause of growth; and installed the
demographic transition to low fertility as necessary for modern citizens
and nations. Those population figures, she argues, circled the globe,
moved nations to intervene in women’s reproductive lives, and continue
to haunt struggles to secure reproductive justice.
Bio: Carole
McCann is Professor and Chair of the Department of Gender + Women’s
Studies; Affiliate Professor of the Language, Literacy and Culture
Program; and Special Assistant to the Provost for Interdisciplinary
Activities at UMBC. Her research focuses on transnational feminist
theory and science studies. Her publications include four editions of
the highly regarded anthology, Feminist Theory Reader: Local and Global Perspectives, co-edited with Dr. Seung-Kyung Kim (Routledge Press, 2003, 2010, 2013, 2016), and Birth Control Politics in the United States, 1916-1945
(Cornell University Press, 1994, 1999). Her newest book, Figuring the
Population Bomb: Gender and Demography in the Mid-Twentieth Century, is
part of the new Feminist Technosciences series from
the University of Washington Press, co-edited by Banu Subramaniam and
Rebecca Herzig. It will be available in December 2016.
Sponsored by the Dresher Center for the Humanities and the Gender + Women’s Studies Department.

Aiyda Evans goes "viral" with her Undergraduate Students
We want to share with our LLC community news about a Social Justice Project that Aiyda Evans (Cohort 19) has carried out with her students at Morgan State University in the Department of Sociology & Anthropology.
Aiyda organized a studentd led staff to chair the “Social Justice Mannequin Challenge Time Capsule,” which is a platform for students at Morgan State University to express their social concerns especially in the aftermath of the presidential elections of 2016. On November 18th, 2016, an important number of students collectively staged a “Mannequin Challenge,” which has been trending and has over 50K shares, likes, and views across social media platforms. Here is the youtube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHsJzOeUtjQ&feature=youtu.be
The Baltimore Sun has recently reported about this performance. You can read the article here: http://tinyurl.com/jl9gz2z.
In a reflection about her involvement in this project, Aiyda said “I am so grateful to have the opportunity to impact the lives of my students in a positive way. I truly believe that sociology is a discipline with the power to change minds and lives for the better of all society. I also believe that educators have a responsibility to "Teach Well" because it absolutely matters! I am so excited for my students. They really have "changed" their minds - and now see that they do have the power to make the world listen to their concerns. Our work however, is just beginning - we still have much to do!"
Congratulations Aiyda!

Dissertation House Application Procedures
Both the on-campus setting and the retreat setting provide Dissertation House participants with productive and rewarding scholastic engagement. Students who participate in this program will spend each day thinking, writing, and sharing ideas about their doctoral dissertations. Students will learn effective time-management skills; learn how to set small manageable goals, and will meet with a dissertation coach in one-on-one consultations to discuss and address obstacles that might prevent them completing their degrees.
The Dissertation House period can span either a Tuesday – Friday (9 a.m. – 5 p.m., non-residential) or a Friday – Sunday weekend (includes evening sessions) commitment to focus on the doctoral dissertation. The Dissertation House activities focus on areas where students typically have difficulty: conceptualizing a topic, writing a literature review, transitioning from a proposal to a dissertation, analyzing data, writing the last chapter, and editing.
Students may apply to attend the next Dissertation House during open application enrollment, by submitting two parts of an application.
PART I:
I. Submit a brief description (maximum 2 pages, font size 11-12 point 1 inch margins) that describes the project that you wish to accomplish during the Dissertation Houseperiod. Applications will neither be reviewed nor accepted outside of the application enrollment period.

(4) Include the following header information with the description:
- Name
- Address
- Telephone numbers (home, office, and fax)

Dates/Location: January 19 to 22th (Tuesday – Friday), 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM. Dissertation House will be held in COMM 329 (for Dissertation House) and COMM 332 (for one-on-one sessions).
