    <div class="html-content"><div>Please see below a message from The <strong>UMBC Writing Center</strong> regarding recruitment of <strong>doctoral students</strong> to join the <em>Graduate Peer Writing Consultants</em>: </div><div><br></div><div>"The UMBC Writing Center continues to support writers on campus through a research-based, peer-to-peer model. Peer tutors, themselves students at UMBC, support the writing students do for courses and for fulfillment of their degree programs. We recognize that our center predominantly serves undergraduate writers, and we understand the many ways that these writers and their contexts differ substantially from those of graduate-level writers. </div><div><br></div><div>While some graduate writing support exists across programs at UMBC, more can be done to create an enduring network of mentorship through writing center programs. The writing centers at UMBC and the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) have designed a pilot program to share resources for supporting the professional development and writing expertise of UMBC graduate writers. We need your help getting the word out to the students</div><div>who might want to work with us.</div><div><br></div><div>We are hiring UMBC graduate students, specifically doctoral students, to serve as Graduate Peer Writing Consultants (GPWCs). These GPWCs will tutor graduate writers at both UMBC and UMB, including those planning, writing, and revising theses and dissertations. GWCPs will undertake ongoing, rigorous training virtually and in-person at the UMB Writing Center in downtown Baltimore to develop their expertise in the practice and tutoring of advanced disciplinary writing. We have designed the position to accomplish three main</div><div>professional aims:</div><div><br></div><div><ul><li>Support the work writers do for courses and for fulfillment of degree requirements</li><li>Provide peer-to-peer mentorship that enhances UMBC graduate students’ understanding and practice of advanced disciplinary writing</li><li>Lay a research-based foundation for GPWCs to develop as future writing educators and mentors in the academy and beyond.</li></ul></div><div><br></div><div><strong>Compensation starts at $17/hour, and all training is paid at this rate. The application period lasts from August 1 until September 4.</strong></div><div><br></div><div>Encourage students to learn more and apply at <a href="https://www.umaryland.edu/writing/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">www.umaryland.edu/writing</a>.</div><div>Students and you can reach out to James Wright, Associate Director of the UMB Writing Center, at <a href="mailto:james.wright@umaryland.edu">james.wright@umaryland.edu</a> with any questions.</div><div>Please share the attached flyer widely.</div><div><br></div><div>Thank you for your time and help.</div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div><br></div><div>Elaine MacDougall</div><div>UMBC Academic Success Center|Director, Writing Center"</div><div><br></div><div>Photo by <a href="https://unsplash.com/@thommilkovic?utm_content=creditCopyText&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=unsplash" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Thom Milkovic</a> on <a href="https://unsplash.com/photos/person-using-black-typewriter-FTNGfpYCpGM?utm_content=creditCopyText&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=unsplash" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Unsplash</a></div></div>

<Title>Dresher Center Fall 2024 Fellows</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><div>This semester, three fellows will join us in the Dresher Center.</div><div><br></div><div><strong>Nicole King</strong>, Associate Professor in American Studies, will work on her upcoming book project, <em>The Ungentrifiable City</em>,
     which traces the rise of urban renewal in the neoliberal city and 
    grounds research in the often-overlooked fight for community-led 
    development. The book explains how scholars can work with communities to
     fight back and reclaim the public’s right to the city from private 
    developers.</div><div><br></div><div><strong>Michael Nance</strong>, Associate Professor in Philosophy, is working on the first English translation of the political writings of the important early left-Kantian philosopher Johann Benjamin Erhard. In his 1795 text On the Right of the People to a Revolution, Erhard develops a Kantian approach to human rights, which, together with his social theory of the structural causes of injustice, allows him to argue for a right to revolution under conditions of structural injustice.</div><div><br></div><div><strong>Sasha Krongos</strong>, an M.A. candidate in Historical Studies, will be 
    researching popular printed material, including women’s magazines, 
    ‘shelter’ magazines, and model home catalogs to examine their treatment 
    of women’s participation in home-building and home-design between the 
    years 1890 and 1920.<div><br></div><div>Please join us in congratulating these fellows.<br></div></div></div>
