<Title>Freeman-ASIA Scholarship for Study Abroad</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><div>The
     Institute of International Education (IIE) is now accepting 
    applications for summer 2016 Freeman Awards for Study in Asia 
    (Freeman-ASIA).<p>The student deadline for summer 2016 is <span><span><span><span>March 1</span></span></span></span>, and the adviser deadline is <span><span><span><span>March 8</span></span></span></span>. To access the application, and to learn more about eligibility, timelines, and scholarship requirements, please visit our <span>website</span>: <a href="http://www.iie.org/Programs/Freeman-ASIA" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">http://www.iie.org/Programs/Freeman-ASIA</a>.</p>
    <p>The
     Freeman Foundation’s generous support for the relaunch of Freeman-ASIA 
    builds on prior grants to IIE that funded more than 4,500 American 
    undergraduates in Asia from 2001 to 2014. The newly available awards 
    will advance IIE’s Generation Study Abroad, a five-year initiative 
    aiming to double the number of U.S. students abroad by the end of the 
    decade by mobilizing resources and commitments across the higher 
    education, philanthropy and corporate sectors.</p>
    <p>The Freeman-ASIA 
    relaunch is the latest of several steps IIE has taken to increase the 
    number and diversity of Americans studying abroad and their study 
    destinations. Studying in Asia before graduating can give students a 
    competitive advantage in their professional careers, especially when 
    collaborating with international peers. More than half of Freeman-ASIA 
    alumni reported being employed in a position related to Asian affairs or
     requiring knowledge of an Asian language. As more employers seek new 
    hires with meaningful and substantive experience in Asia, it is critical
     that more Americans learn about and engage with Asian economies, 
    political systems and cultures.</p>

<Title>Call for Paid Summer Research Assistants</Title>
<Tagline>Civil Rights in Black and Brown Oral History Project</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <br><strong><em>Call for Paid Summer Research Assistants<br><br>Civil Rights in Black and Brown: Oral History of the Multiracial Freedom Struggle in Texas</em></strong><br><br>A Collaborative Research Project Housed at TCU – Texas Christian University – <a href="http://crbb.tcu.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">crbb.tcu.edu</a><br><br><u>Project Overview</u><br><br>Not one but two civil rights movements flourished in mid-twentieth century Texas—and they did so in intimate conversation with one another. While most research on American race relations has utilized a binary analytical lens— examining either “black” vs. “white” or “Anglo” vs. “Mexican”—this project bridges cultures by collecting and interpreting four hundred new oral history interviews with members of all three groups, simultaneously. Covering the period since the onset of civil rights era, the interviews with African American, Mexican American, and white activists located in fifteen sites throughout the large, diverse state will add new depth to the study of “black/brown” relations past and present. In addition to archiving the full oral histories and using them as the basis for scholarly works, the project features a free, publicly-accessible digital humanities website that displays short digital video interviews clips, each with its own metadata to allow for easy searching across the entire collection. The project is directed by Max Krochmal (TCU), Marvin Dulaney (UT-Arlington), Todd Moye (University of North Texas), and Maggie Rivas-Rodriguez (UT-Austin). For more information, visit the project website, crbb.tcu.edu.<br><br><u>Summary of Position</u><br><br>Research Assistants (RAs) will be assigned to selected field sites in Texas for eight weeks of full-time oral history fieldwork. With assistance from the project directors, RAs will contact gatekeepers, consultants, and community leaders and then interview a wide range of activists who contributed to the black and brown freedom struggles (broadly defined) in their respective cities. RAs will also manage and process digital video interview data to add the project website. Work will begin with a two-day training and workshop at TCU on June 2-3, 2016; will continue with fieldwork taking place June 6 to July 30 (including a retreat around the 4th of July); and conclude with a two-day wrap-up meeting and data processing at TCU on August 1-2, 2016.<br><br><u>Compensation</u><br><br>Research Assistants will receive a minimum $5,000 stipend for almost nine weeks of work as well as living and traveling expenses. RAs will also be invited to contribute to an edited anthology or other works stemming from the project.<br><br><strong>To read more about this Call, please check the link below</strong><br>

    <p><br>With the Iowa Caucuses just days away, UMBC faculty have been in the news weighing in on the current state of the presidential race. Kimberly Moffitt, an associate professor of American studies, was a guest on the <em>Baltimore Sun</em> podcast “Roughly Speaking with Dan Rodricks” to discuss the recent Republican presidential debate on Fox Business Network. During the segment, Moffitt shared her thoughts on the interactions between candidates and economic and foreign policy issues in the race, among other topics of discussion.</p>
    <p>Political Science Professor and Chair Thomas Schaller wrote an opinion piece for <em>The Hill </em>that focused on the rise of Sen. Ted Cruz, drawing on arguments made in his latest book<em><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tb6-_0PTPQ" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">The Stronghold</a> </em>that the Republican Party’s recent focus on its congressional wing has had an impact on presidential elections.</p>
    <p>Focusing on local election issues, School of Public Policy Professor and Director Donald Norris was quoted in a<em>Baltimore Sun </em>article about former Md. Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown’s campaign finance status and provided context for a NorthJersey.com article about a ballot question this fall that would authorize expanding casino gambling in New Jersey. Norris described the media campaign surrounding the 2012 ballot question in Maryland over whether to allow a new casino in Prince Georges County.</p>
