Course Offering: LLC 890: Research Proposal Seminar
Fall 2015
LLC 890: Research Proposal Seminar in Fall 2015
LLC 890 is an intensive research writing course that is open to all students who have a major research-based writing project. It is useful for those students who have finished comps or are finishing comps in September, as well as students who have not yet started comps and are in earlier stages of their work. Writing projects could include: a dissertation proposal, a pre-proposal draft, paper revisions for an article, a grant or fellowship proposal, or other major writing projects.
Students will work individually with Dr. Bickel and a peer writing partner in a recursive writing process throughout the semester. We will consider initial research problems and questions, theoretical frameworks and key concepts, writing literature reviews, the ethics and integrity of research writing, writing as inquiry and a daily practice, methodological frameworks and particular methods, issues of interdisciplinarity in content and research processes, how to make compelling presentations, and working effectively with dissertation advisors and committees.
The course will meet roughly every other week with intensive writing and feedback in between meetings. Skype is a possibility for those who cannot make class meetings. The course begins Monday, August 31, 4:30-7 in the MCS conference room, but the participants will decide together on subsequent meeting times. Note: 890 can be taken more than once.
Please be in touch with Dr. Bickel if you are considering enrolling for more details including scheduling issues and permission.

About PROMISE:
PROMISE: Maryland’s AGEP is a university system-wide effort for the state of Maryland to facilitate underrepresented STEM graduate student and postdoctoral professional development and pathways to careers. UMBC leads the alliance that consists of all 14 colleges, universities, and regional education centers in the University System of Maryland, four community colleges, and a former NSF Model Institution of Excellence Hispanic Serving Institution in Puerto Rico. PROMISE has been a critical catalyst for increasing enrollment, retention, and graduation rates of underrepresented minorities. The program also will contribute to the higher education literature on retention and professional development for graduate students and postdocs. The Rotating Postdoctoral Fellowship and the Professors-in-Training program for Maryland’s institutions (including Master’s serving institutions, HBCUs, community colleges, and an HSI) are among the innovations that respond to AGEP’s call to support the national goal of increasing the number of underrepresented minorities who will enter academic STEM careers.
To learn more about PROMISE please visit the program's website.

CFP: 24th American Men's Studies Association Conference
Submission Deadline: September 15, 2015
CALL FOR PROPOSALS
(Un)Masking Masculinities:
Constructing and Deconstructing Representations of Masculinities
We all incorporate into our individual identities features of various culturally gender constructed identities. In particular, children and others struggling to come to terms with their sexuality may well be confused by the many and often conflicting representations of gender that they encounter throughout the broader culture. How are these "masks" of gender identity constructed? Which masks distort or corrupt the individual who wears them? Do some masks actually elevate the individual and help him become increasingly healthy and productive?
The construction and effects of gender identity are best approached through collaborative efforts. Scholars from all academic disciplines need to find ways to design their research projects so that practitioners find the results of that research useful, and practitioners need to find ways to help scholars understand and investigate the range of issues they encounter in their work. Furthermore, scholars from every discipline-the humanities, natural sciences, and social sciences-need to find ways to support each other in their efforts to discuss, examine, and/or deconstruct existing definitions of masculinity or to begin to construct new definitions.
Proposal Types
Individual Papers / Thematic Panels / Applied workshops / Posters
- Popular culture and the fine arts (paintings, drawings, sculpture, photographs, films, music, theatre, television, radio);
- Literary, philosophical, historical, and religious texts;
- Studies in the social sciences from all around the world.
