Dr. Shomali Wins Lavender Faculty Ally of the Year Award
We're tickled purple!
Gender and Women's Studies was thrilled to take part in last night's Lavender Celebration, UMBC's yearly event honoring LGBTQIA students, faculty, and staff. We were even more excited to hear that our new Assistant Professor, Dr. Mejdulene Shomali, was voted Lavender Faculty Ally of the Year for her service making UMBC a better place for all of us. As Dr. Shomali said in her acceptance speech, it is her--and our--pleasure to serve our students.
Congratulations to all nominees and winners, and thank you to the Mosaic Center for Diversity and Inclusion and Carlos Turcio and Lisa Gray for making it happen.

Announcing the Jodi Crandall Fellowship Award Winner 2017
Kevin Wisniewski - Cohort 15
On April 26th, Dr. Jodi Crandall, founder of the LLC Program, presented to Kevin Wisniewski, PhD Candidate from Cohort 15, the Jodi Crandall Fellowship for Research in Language, Literacy and Culture Award. His project is called “From Repository to Readership: Applied Research in Book Publishing, Production and Publicity.” Working with Dr. Craig Saper, Kevin will investigate the printing, design, and distribution strategies of selected 1930s ephemera. He plans on reprinting and publishing a broadside and pamphlet to explore the larger, participatory system of publishing that functions as a form of civic engagement and public scholarship.
Congratulations, Kevin!

Relationship Violence Awareness and Prevention Advocates
Apply for Advocates!
Jacki Stone, Special Assistant to the Associate Vice President Student Affairs and LLC student (Cohort 18), is currently running the Relationship Violence Awareness and Prevention Advocates program. She is sending this invitation to potential advocates:
I wanted to share with you all that the Fall 2017 application for the Relationship Violene Prevention and Awareness Advocates is open and we are really excited to welcome a new group.
As you and the students you work with are thinking ahead to fall semester, considering leadership opportunities, and looking for important ways to connect with our communities, please consider the Relationship Violence Awareness and Prevention Advocates. This program is for students (grad and undergrad), faculty, AND staff!
The UMBC Relationship Violence Prevention Advocates program is a comprehensive program funded by a grant from Verizon. The program evolves each year and is designed to educate the UMBC Community on specific relationship violence prevention information.
The goals of the program are:
- To systematically raise awareness and support for a campus to be without relationship violence
- Create an environment that encourages healthy relationships
- Encourage victims and survivors of relationship violence to come forward and receive support
The application can be found by clicking
here. The flexible deadline is May 24th, but I'll continue to share this opportunity throughout the summer as well.
Please share widely on your distribution lists, newsletters, and in conversations!

Congratulations to Heather Mortimer!
Congratulations to Heather for receiving a URA grant! With this grant, Heather will be installing two exhibits in the library rotunda with the guidance of her mentor, Sandra Abbott. According to Heather, "Both exhibits will be on the same topic, and use the same artifacts; however, they will be designed using different approaches, I will then collect data on visitor behavior to see if the design of the exhibit affects visitor engagement. Because museums are sites of free-choice learning, the exhibits themselves must motivate people to stop and engage with them. I would like to see if design can create that motivation. More broadly, I am interested in exploring how spaces that are not usually used for learning can be transformed into spaces that are used for learning.
Heather has also received a Hollings Scholarship through the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Through this program, rising juniors are awarded a two year academic scholarship and paid summer internship at a NOAA facility. Heather was one of 127 recipients from a total of 500 applicants. This summer, Heather will be moving to Santa Cruz, CA to "help with an exhibit at the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary Exploration Center. The exhibit will allow visitors to hear, see, and feel sounds that are being collected by a hydrophone that is deployed at the sanctuary, including marine mammal vocalizations, passing ships, and even rain hitting the surface of the water."
Once again, congratulations Heather, and good luck!
