Fellowships for Parental Leave for Graduate Assistants
*NEW* Males & Females, Birth, Adoption, Foster Parenting
In recognition of the challenges of balancing the demands of a graduate assistantship and parenting a new child, UMBC offers Fellowships for Parental Leave to improve the environment for new parents who are Graduate Assistants (GAs). Any GA is eligible to receive a Fellowship for: (1) the birth of a child; (2) the recent adoption of a child under the age of six; or (3) the assumption of other parenting responsibilities (e.g., foster parenting, legal guardianship) of a child under the age of six. Except for birth mothers as described below, the period of the Fellowship is six weeks. During the Fellowship period, the GA retains his or her full stipend and benefits, provides no service to the University, and maintains enrollment as a full-time (9 credits) student in fall and spring semesters.
The University recognizes the need of birth mothers to respond to or to recover from the effects of pregnancy and/or the delivery of a child. If a birth mother believes that she requires a Fellowship period of more than six weeks, she must obtain a letter from her physician or other licensed health-care professional that provides (1) the nature of the need; (2) a statement that the GA cannot return to her duties for health reasons arising from the pregnancy and/or delivery; and (3) the duration of required absence beyond the initial six weeks.
In all instances, the GA should discuss his or her Fellowship plans with his or her GPD and/or supervisor as soon as possible to allow for maximum collegial support. All Fellowship requests must be approved by the Associate Dean of the Graduate School and the GA’s supervisor. Upon request, the Graduate School will reimburse the cost of the GA’s stipend to the supporting department. The form by which to request a Fellowship is located on the Graduate School's website under "GA Forms."
The Graduate School recommends that international students consult in advance with the Office of International Education Services before their period of parental leave.
The substance of the above text will be included in the next version of the Graduate Assistant Handbook as a replacement for "Maternity Leave."

CFP: Special Issue of the Journal of Hate Studies
Hate and Heritage
In the spring of 2015, actor Ben Affleck appeared on PBS’s Finding Your Roots, hosted by Henry Louis Gates. In preparation for the show, which traces the genealogies of famous Americans, Affleck requested that information about his family’s ownership of black slaves be omitted from the broadcast, though details about Affleck’s more noble ancestors, including his mother, who was a Freedom Rider, were highlighted. When the omission was publically revealed, Affleck admitted that he was “embarrassed” by ancestors who owned slaves. “The very thought left a bad taste in my mouth,” he shared on Facebook.
Affleck’s unwillingness to publicly admit to a family history of racism mirrors a broader cultural reluctance to address the close ties between heritage—both personal and national—and hate. Family genealogies are only one area where such relationships are erased or ignored. Geography is marked and marred by acts of hate, acts commemorated, memorialized, celebrated, condemned, mourned, hidden, and ignored by various populations across time. Sacred spaces and sacred time are dedicated to hate events, then erased and rededicated. Official and unofficial histories make and remake the meaning of such events, and popular culture interprets and reinterprets them. We invent rituals to engage us with our hateful pasts, and we also craft narratives that distance us from it. Among extremists, hateful heritage is a source of pride, while among others, it is a source of guilt, humiliation, trauma, and defensiveness. In sum, hate events are never settled but are instead a source of constant conflict as they resonate across generations, informing the contemporary moment in ways frequently unseen, especially by those in power, and misunderstood, often strategically.
The Journal of Hate Studies seeks submissions of manuscripts examining the relationships between hate and heritage. Potential topics include:
- Hate in heritage studies as an academic field
- Teaching histories of hate, especially to historically victimized populations or to populations that have historically victimized others
- Memorialization and commemoration of victims of hate
- Sacralization of spaces of hate
- Popular reinterpretation of hate in film, theater, art, and music
- Leisure, tourism, and travel and hate
- Hate and the decorative arts and handcrafts
- Hate and ethnic identity
- Hate in family history and genealogy
- Historical interpretation and reinterpretation of hate events
- The commodification and commercialization of hate
- Hate in history as framed by members of hate groups

LLC Highlights: Ibrahim Er (Cohort 16)
We are proud to share Ibrahim’s latest academic contribution to the Sound and the Screen Symposium at the University of West London (London, UK) on November 20th, 2015.
Ibrahim presented the paper "A Funnier Monk: Rhetoric of Music in TV Series Adaptations”. He focused on the use of music in cross-culturally adapted TV series, and its effect on viewers' perceptions in light of two concrete examples from two particular scenes. In these scenes, the politics of Turkish culture and the power relationships between characters are depicted not only by the visual and spatial configurations in the frame or scene, but are also implicitly constructed through the musical score, which influences the viewers’ perceptions of the same scene(s) in the two versions.
Congratulations, Ibrahim!

Real People Profiles: Jodi Kelber-Kaye
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: Jodi Kelber-Kaye
Hometown: Boston, MA
Q: How long have you been at UMBC?
A: 12 years
Q: What is your current title (job or student organization position)?
A: Associate Director of the Honors College
Q: In 12 words or less, what role(s) do you play on campus?
A: Student advisor, administrator, teacher, collaborator, motivator
Q: What aspect of your UMBC role(s) do you enjoy most?
A: Hands down, working with students. I love getting to teach them and advise them and design programs for them. I would be lying, though, if I didn't say I also enjoy some of the problem-solving skills I get to use as an administrator!
Q: What is the most important or memorable thing you learned in college/have learned at UMBC?
A: Ask for help. I used to be painfully shy so I would always try to figure out how to do things on my own, even when I had no idea how to do it, and would never ask for help. At one dark point in my life, I knew that if I didn't ask for help, I might not survive. And so I was forced to ask, and I try to remember that asking for help is the greatest gift I can give myself because I then get to work with some incredible people as a result.
Q: What is one way you have worked with others to make a positive difference at UMBC or in another community?
A: Just one? Well, I think the thing I'm most proud of recently is UMBC's new Americorps/VISTA project that came about as a result of some great work students did in my Honors seminar, Race, Poverty and Gender in Baltimore. College JUMP is a mentoring and college readiness program for high school aged refugee youth in Baltimore City and County and the program was partly designed by students in my class. Now, College JUMP is off and running, led by Sondheim/Honors alum Christie Smith in conjunction with the Refugee Youth Project, and has 18 mentees and 15 mentors. This matters because the students in my class can see the real-world impact of a class project that has the potential to positively affect so many people--the refugee youth, their families, their communities and the UMBC student mentors. Little by little, we each make a great impact in this world and I'm glad I was able to help this program happen.
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: During a program for a new partnership I'm helping to create with Baltimore City, I was recently on the Library 7th floor with a group of Baltimore City public high school students and one of the students noted the view from the windows. I'm up there so often that I forget how incredible the view is, and so we stood there together for a minute and picked out some distant Baltimore landmarks together. As two people who love Baltimore so much, it was a nice way for us to connect and to look at a spectacular view. It also reminded me to look up sometimes!

CFP: Graduate Student Conference - Southern Capitalisms
Johns Hopkins University
The Johns Hopkins Graduate Student Conference
SOUTHERN CAPITALISMS
March 4-5, 2016
The Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland
Recent years have witnessed renewed attention on the part of historians to questions concerning capital accumulation, market formation, and labor regimes. Bringing together scholars from a wide range of geographic, temporal, and thematic sub-fields, the new history of capitalism has revisited long-held assumptions about economic development and capital accumulation with an eye towards understanding the ways culture, politics, and markets have intersected to form the basis of a dynamic and highly complex capitalism(s).
