<Title>Announcing our new Director of the Dresher Center for the Humanities</Title>
<Tagline>Amy Froide, Professor of History</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><div>The Dresher Center is pleased to announce our new director, Professor Amy Froide.</div><div><br></div><div>Amy M. Froide is Professor of History and the former Chair of the History Department at UMBC. Her areas of expertise include the history of early modern Britain, European women’s history, and financial history. She is the author of <em>Silent Partners: Women as Public Investors during Britain’s Financial Revolution, 1690-1750</em> (Oxford University Press, 2016). Her other books include <em>Never Married: Singlewomen in Early Modern England</em> (Oxford University Press, 2005) and <em>Singlewomen in the European Past, 1250-1800</em> (University of Pennsylvania Press, 1999), co-edited with Judith M. Bennett. She is currently working on a book about a financial scandal in eighteenth-century London as well as a project on wives who separated from their husbands in early modern Britain. She continues to study female entrepreneurs, including speculators in European mining projects. Her research has been funded by fellowships from the Folger Shakespeare Library, the Henry H. Huntington Library, the Rockefeller Foundation, and the British Academy.</div><div><br></div><div>Professor Froide has a long standing interest in interdisciplinary teaching and research. She is the founding Director of UMBC’s <a href="http://entrepreneurship.umbc.edu/entr-minor/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Entrepreneurship &amp; Innovation Minor</a> and she holds affiliate appointments in UMBC’s Gender, Women’s + Sexuality Studies and Language, Literacy, and Culture Ph.D. programs. She regularly mentors Master’s degree students in both early modern British and European women’s history. Former students have gone on to Ph.D. programs in the U.S. and the U.K. and three are currently professors. In addition to her research and administrative work, Prof. Froide was the recipient of the 2018 Maryland Board of Regents’ Award for Teaching Excellence and is currently UMBC’s Presidential Teaching Professor for 2024-27. She regularly shares her Humanities research with a general audience through articles in The Conversation, podcasts, lectures with <a href="https://www.profsandpints.com/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Profs &amp; Pints</a>, and pre-show theatre talks.</div><div><br></div><div>Prof. Froide looks forward to continuing the excellent work of outgoing Director Jessica Berman who has made the Dresher Center a hub of scholarly exchange and intellectual community. In addition to supporting faculty and graduate student research in the Humanities, Prof. Froide plans to promote work in new interdisciplinary fields such as Environmental and Public Health humanities, more broadly share out the innovative Humanities research being done by UMBC’s faculty, and advocate for the significance of Humanities disciplines at Public Research Universities.</div></div>

<Title>Students Needed for LLMs Case Study</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><div><strong>Goal:</strong> The purpose of this study is to evaluate how Large Language Models or LLMs (e.g. ChatGPT, Gemini) can impact through its answers asked by users, particularly how question framing can result into opinion shaping and polarized perception. For this research, we want to conduct a study in two stages; in stage one we want to generate queries for LLMs. The other stage will be to propose intervention to mitigate it. Since studies have found that polarization caused by human-AI interaction can have a negative impact on both an individual and societal level, it is very important to identify and resolve it specifically for AI based tools which are being used on daily basis. We want to propose intervention while interacting with LLMs to know if it helps mitigating the bias caused by LLM models while framing queries. </div><div><br></div><div><strong>All eligible participants will receive $10 upon completion of the task. </strong>Please fill out the link to the form provided in you are interested in participating in the study. We will reach out to you personally with details for further action within 48 hours.</div><strong><div><strong><br></strong></div>Task:</strong> Participant needs to form queries for a few controversial topics can be used as prompts for search engines or LLM-based chatbots<div><strong>Location:</strong> Remote</div><div><strong>Time: </strong>Around 40 minutes </div><div><strong>Eligibility: </strong>UMBC student, at least 18 years old, fluent in English and resides in the United States</div><div><br></div><div>Md Nazmus Sakib </div><div>PhD Computer Science Student </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div>
