UMBC Interdisciplinary CoLab, Call for Projects
Proposals Due, Monday December 2nd (by end of day)
UMBC Interdisciplinary CoLab is a Summer Internship program in Interdisciplinary Narrative-Based Research, where students from different intellectual disciplines collaborate in teams of three to create outward facing products for faculty and community partners.
UMBC Interdisciplinary CoLab supports narrative-based research projects to provide undergraduate students with an innovative, team-based applied learning opportunity through a three-credit (4-week, 30-hours per week) paid internship.
Ideal projects:
Are designed for 3 students with a UMBC faculty or staff member as the Project Leader
Have a strong focus that can be explored effectively over a four week period
Utilize diverse research methods and humanities modes of analysis
Produce public-facing final projects created for a specific audience and purpose.
For example, projects could engage with archived texts and images to develop websites, build podcasts from oral history or ethnographic interviews, or work with communities on documentary videos and digital stories.
The goal is to give students an interdisciplinary research experience while developing collaborative skills, telling effective stories, and amplifying voices to the general public.
Projects can be proposed by faculty or staff members, alone or in collaboration with outside community partners.
CoLab will run from June 2nd through Jun 27th, 2024.
