<Title>CFP: The Obama Effect 2.0 Conference</Title>
<Tagline>October 27-29, 2016 - UMBC</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><h5>The Obama Effect 2.0 Conference</h5><h5>October 27-29, 2016</h5><h5>University of Maryland Baltimore County (Baltimore, MD)</h5><br>His accolades include a Nobel Peace Prize, the Dodd-Frank (Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection) Act, the Affordable Health Care Act (“Obamacare”), the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, and the Defense of Marriage Act rendered unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. His detractors suggest his Middle East policies are ineffective, he is abusive of Executive Orders, and has failed to devise a reasonable solution for the closure of Guantanamo Bay, as well as prosecute the masterminds of the 2008 financial crash. The scope of these noteworthy events are just a part of the "effect" of Barack Obama during his near-complete two terms as the 44th President of the United States. Since stepping into the national political spotlight at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, then-Senator Barack Obama and reactions to his eventual ascendancy to the White House as president have confounded conventional wisdom. What many sensed as unique, different, refreshing and forward thinking about Mr. Obama, we dubbed “The Obama Effect.” And as his time in office comes to a close, it is imperative for scholars and professionals in a wide variety of disciplines to reflect upon this presidency’s effect and impact on: American and global public opinion; party politics; voter participation; media representations; international relations; religious discourses; race and the American police state; nationality and patriotism; and constructions of racial, sexual, and gender identities.<br><br>We invite presentation proposals for The Obama Effect 2.0 Conference. This conference is a follow-up to our event of the same name held at the University of Minnesota in 2008, where we first explored the “Obama Effect” ”--- the impact his rise to power already had upon history, upon America, and upon the world.  This conference is intended to begin considering these "effects," short and long term, expected and unexpected, of President Obama's two-term tenure. We invite papers from scholars, professionals, and community organizers working from different perspectives on the phenomenon of President Obama’s time in the White House. Our goal is to create a conference that will showcase various and interdisciplinary approaches to the “Obama Effect. This notion also extends to the racialized and gendered narratives of First Lady Michelle Obama who has made strides and created waves that could also be characterized as having an “effect.” The conference will provide participants with a multi-faceted view of the past eight years and the significance that the Obama Era has had on our sense of politics, national identity, media, and public opinion.<br><br>Submissions from academic fields such as: history, media studies, journalism, communication studies, political science, philosophy, social justice, African American Studies, ethnic studies, American Studies, sociology, and law are welcome.  Essays from professional journalists, political consultants, community organizers, and others are also desired. Additionally, we want to encourage critical performance pieces that illuminate the “Obama Effect” via visual or performance art, media and new media production.<br>What will be the lasting impacts of the Obama Administration --an Executive Branch led for the first time in American history by a person of color? How will we think about the Presidency, campaign methods and ethics, and the “national conversation about race?” How has the emergence of social movements such as #BlackLivesMatter, transgender rights, gay marriage, and the Dreamers been part of --or a challenge to--the Obama Era?  What should we consider his legacy in foreign policy, given the intractability of the situations in Iraq, Israel, and Afghanistan, and dismay over big trade deals like TPP?  How might the Obama team’s electoral strategies impact the 2016 presidential campaigns (and candidates)? We are obliged to look back to distant histories as well as scrutinize recent phenomena.  At the same time, we should ponder what changes we might expect, and what backlash may surge, as President Obama leaves office.<br><br>Submissions should be completed papers (6000-7000 words) or extended abstracts (250-500 words) for works in progress.  Works in progress should provide evidence that the paper and/or performance piece will be completed by the date of the conference. <strong>Deadline for submissions is April 30, 2016.</strong><br><br>Papers should be submitted to the conference email address at: <a href="mailto:obamaeffect2.0@gmail.com" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">obamaeffect2.0@gmail.com</a><br><br>Participants will be notified of submission status no later than July 10, 2016.  If you have questions about the conference or the submission process, please contact us via the conference email address or at our respective institutions.<br><br>Conference Organizers:<br><em><strong>Dr. Kimberly R. Moffitt,</strong></em> Host/Organizer, University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC)<br><strong><em>Dr. Heather E.

<Title>Graduate Research Assistantship in PAR Project</Title>
<Tagline>Work with K-12 Teachers in Baltimore, Maryland</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><h5>Graduate Research Assistantship in Participatory Action Research Project Work with K-12 Teachers in Baltimore, Maryland</h5><br>The Teachers’ Democracy Project (TDP) is a grant-funded research project situated within the Language, Literacy and Culture (LLC) doctoral program at University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC).<br><br>TDP will offer a research assistantship to one graduate student accepted in the LLC Doctoral Program for the Fall of 2016 (<strong>application deadline: December 1, 2015)</strong>. Please indicate in your admissions cover letter that you are also interested in this research assistant position, which will be decided in a separate process from the admissions process.<br><br>Research assistants earn a research stipend for 20 hours of work a week, and receive tuition credits for up to 10 credits per semester. They also receive health benefits, a travel stipend for conferences, and have the opportunity to work on collaborative publications along with the co-researchers in the project. The work of a TDP research assistant involves working with the program PI and director on program management, assisting with all aspects of the research project, and direct work with teachers in classrooms. We are particularly interested in graduate students who have a background in K-12 public education and/or in media production in educational settings.<br><br>TDP is designed to act as a catalyst for teachers to reclaim and participate actively in knowledge production about teaching and schools. We support an annual cohort of teachers working together to develop the knowledge, skills and confidence to improve their own teaching practices and redefine school reform in Baltimore to focus on "The Schools We Deserve." Our goal is to work alongside effective classroom teachers who understand and resist the impact of destructive national and local school reform initiatives, and who imagine and work with schools and communities to formulate effective local alternatives.<br><br>One of our main endeavors is a long-term participatory action research project in which teachers collaboratively study teachers’ work in the full, current socio-political context of our city and nation. This joint work will provide insights into how successful, socially conscious teachers can construct a progressive teaching practice relative to the policies and demands they face both inside and outside the classroom. One of the primary skills the teachers gain as participants in the program is the effective use of a variety of media as teaching tools, real-life advocacy tools, and as alternatives to test-based assessments of student learning. The end products of the project will be:<br><br><ul><li>a shared reframing of the narrative around critical educational issues (such as teacher evaluation and attrition; the place of testing in the broad view of assessment; effective classroom practice that addresses the whole child; social justice-oriented, project-based teaching; and the place of teacher union activism in the lives of teachers)</li><li>the production of an on-line, locally specific, social justice curriculum available to all city teachers</li></ul><p>For more information about the TDP project, please contact: Dr. Helen Atkinson, Executive Director, Teachers' Democracy Project, <a href="mailto:helen.atkinson@umbc.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">helen.atkinson@umbc.edu</a> or Dr. Bev Bickel, Clinical Associate Professor, Language, Literacy and Culture Doctoral Program, <a href="mailto:bickel@umbc.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">bickel@umbc.edu</a>. <br><br></p></div>
