Mill Stories: Remembering Sparrows Point Steel Mill - Film screening and conversation
When: November 15th 7 PM
Where: Performing Arts & Humanities Building : Rm. 132
Michelle Stefano, Visiting Assistant Professor, American Studies, UMBC, and Co-Director, Maryland Traditions
Bill Shewbridge, Professor of the Practice, Media & Communication Studies, and Executive Producer, New Media Studio, UMBC
For 125 years, tens of thousands of steelworkers and associated personnel knew Sparrows Point Steel Mill in Baltimore, Maryland not only as a place of employment, but as the center of community life, with special importance, in the company towns of Dundalk and Sparrows Point. Created by the Pennsylvania Steel Company in 1887, and taken over by Bethlehem Steel in 1916, the mill became the world’s largest center for producing steel and for shipbuilding. As a key production site during both World Wars, Sparrows Point peaked during the 1960s, and saw a gradual decline in the decades that followed. Nonetheless, this is a story that lives on and, most importantly, needs to be told by those who know it best.
In 2012, Sparrows Point Steel Mill closed forever. Mill Stories: Remembering Sparrows Point Steel Mill presents a collection of personal stories based on over 30 ethnographic interviews collected at the time of the mill's closing. The film seeks to amplify the voices of former workers as a means of helping to safeguard and promote the living heritage of the recently closed mill and its surrounding areas.

IMDA MFA Program alumnus Jaimes Mayhew and Rahne Alexander will discuss their Baltimore Museum of Art installation Queer Interiors, which is presented as part of the BMA’s Commons Collaboration initiative related to Imagining Home. The project conceived and produced by Rahne Alexander and Jaimes Mayhew is comprised of a larger-than-life bed, shelving and other furnishings, personal artifacts, and a multimedia wall quilt known as the Baltimore LGBTQI+ Home Movie Quilt. This component of the installation pays homage to Baltimore album quilts and the AIDS Quilt, with the aim of presenting a crowd-sourced multimedia portrait of the city’s LGBTQI+ communities. The exhibition is now on view at the BMA through August 31, 2017.

LLC Study Social Fall 2014
We need to do this more often!
On December 5 the LLC GSO organized a Study Social event for students in our doctoral program. We were very happy to have folks from different cohorts working on papers, readings, proposals, presentations, dissertations… you know, graduate life stuff. We did indeed work hard!, but we also had time to eat, laugh, and talk about current issues (check out the pictures!!)
At the end Study Social, we had Inte’a DeShields delivering an outstanding presentation on the research project she will use for her dissertation proposal defense. This presentation is part of Dr. Bickel’s LLC 890 proposal seminar. It was great to have the audience ask important questions and to provide feedback to Inte’a’s research proposal.
In sum, the LLC Study Social was success!! That’s why the we are trying to make this a more regular event (bimonthly or weekly). We would like LLC students interested in participating in future Study Socials to complete a
Doodle poll to figure out the days that work best for the majority.
It would be great if you could take out the time to let us know of your preference. Thank you! :)
For the time being, good luck in each of your final projects.
