The Dresher Center is pleased to have two internal fellows for the Fall 2018 semester:



Residential Faculty Fellow
Rebecca Boehling, Professor of History and Director of Global Studies and Judaic Studies Programs

Project: "Post-WWII Denazification as Transitional Justice"

Conceptualizing denazification as transitional justice requires positing the process as part of a reckoning with the recent past in pursuit of truth and justice, as prerequisites to reconciliation, and ultimately democratization. While the WWII Allies considered denazificaton as a prerequisite to reconciliation, the Germans least complicit with the Nazi regime usually had the most interest in denazification as transitional justice. Contradictions abound when military governments seek to impose democracy. Perhaps the best a foreign occupier can achieve in a country they have fought, invaded and defeated in war, is to set up legal and participatory political structures and regulate socio-economic frameworks in ways to restrict anti-democratic tendencies and promote opportunities for the growth of democracy. The lens of transitional justice will help reveal the limits of occupation and the necessity of removing anti-democratic obstacles to and setting up the framework and structures for civil society.



Graduate Student Research Fellow
Aimi Bouillon, M.F.A Candidate, Intermedia + Digital Arts Graduate Program

Project: "Finding Ryukyu"

For her thesis project, Aimi aims to capture the hidden histories of local plant life, memorials, and landscapes in what are sometimes called somaesthetic structures, or affective environments that shape and perpetuate human behavior. Through images of the Okinawan environment, she seeks to discover indigenous Ryukyuan concepts used in maintaining healthy family, community, and societal relations with nature. She will be mining the symbolic capacity of documentary photography to represent known and unknown schematic narratives of Ryukyuan histories.

Dr. Katherine Bankole-Medina, Professor of History, Coppin State University, and Dr. Theresa Runstedtler, Associate Professor of History, American University, have been awarded full academic year fellowships to advance their research while in residence at the Dresher Center. Dr. Bankole-Medina’s project, “African Americans as Specimens, Objects, and Agents: Race and Clinical Care in the Maryland Medical Journal, 1877-1918,” is a 40-year account of the lives of African Americans, drawn from the Maryland Medical Journal. Dr. Runstedtler’s project, “Black Ball: Rethinking the “Dark Ages” of Professional Basketball,” explores the intersection of blackness, masculinity, labor, and criminalization through the lens of 1970s professional basketball.




The Visiting Fellows join the Dresher Center, a robust humanities center environment that holds public events and symposia, grants workshops, and works-in-progress talks, and hosts UMBC residential faculty fellows and graduate fellows. Each Visiting Fellow will partner with a UMBC faculty member with shared research or teaching interests to broaden and deepen the exchange between fellows and the campus community. Fellows receive generous stipends and research support, as well as access to the Dresher Center’s administrative and research development services and campus resources.

The Inclusion Imperative is a major five-year initiative promoting diversity and inclusive excellence in the humanities. Through the Inclusion Imperative, UMBC, in partnership with Bowie State University, Coppin State University, and Howard University, is cultivating a regional network of scholars, who are committed to diversity and inclusion in the humanities. These fundamental partnerships guide the Inclusion Imperative’s three programs: the Visiting Faculty Fellowship Program, the Diversity Teaching Network in the Humanities, and the Humanities Teaching Labs. The Inclusion Imperative programs support and expand community-engaged humanities research, teaching, and learning focused on issues of equity, inclusion, and justice. The Inclusion Imperative is funded by a grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

One Fellowship in Fall 2018 and one in Spring 2019
Dresher Center Residential Faculty Research Fellowship applications for fall 2018 are due on April 1, 2018. Applications for spring 2019 are due on May 1, 2018.

Click here for the proposal instructions and an application form. Applicants should mark on the application form whether they are applying for fall 2018 or spring 2019. 

The Dresher Center for the Humanities invites applications for two Residential Faculty Research Fellowships for Academic Year 2018-19 (one in fall 2018 and one in spring 2019). Funding is intended to support and promote significant humanities research at UMBC. The UMBC Faculty Research Fellows will join our new residential Inclusion Imperative Visiting Faculty Fellows in the Dresher Center. Dresher Center fellowships offer the gift of time, space, and collegial conversation within a robust humanities center environment that will, in turn, enhance the UMBC conversation surrounding inclusive excellence. 

Funding is intended to support and promote significant humanities research at UMBC. Dresher Center Residential Research Fellows will reside at least one day a week in the Dresher Center and receive a release from teaching (up to two course releases) in order to work on a significant humanities research project or the training necessary to embark on such a project. Faculty wishing to develop expertise in a new field or discipline towards a future project are also encouraged to apply. Each Faculty Fellow will have the use of an office in the Dresher Center and will be awarded $550 to hire an undergraduate research assistant (junior or senior) for the semester. 

Faculty Fellows will be encouraged to connect to and share their work with the other fellows in residence, including Inclusion Imperative and graduate student fellows connected to the Center. They will also conduct two research works-in-progress sessions during their semester in residence and participate in other Dresher Center programs.

All full-time, tenured and tenure-track faculty members pursuing humanities research in the College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences are welcome to submit a proposal. Applications are especially encouraged from, but not limited to, full-time faculty with appointments in departments and programs with a humanities focus. Proposals will be reviewed by the Dresher Center Advisory Board, with decisions on fall semester fellowships by mid-May and decisions on spring semester fellowships by late June.
