URCAD Sneak Peek!


Come to URCAD on Wednesday, April 24, where Animation major Susanna Abler will screen her video “BFRB: An Animated PSA” in the Fine Arts Recital Hall at 2 p.m.

Susanna says, "I suffer from a body focused repetitive disorder (or BFRB) called Trichotillomania, which means I have a compulsive need to pull out my own hair. It’s something I’ve struggled with for much of my life. There’s not much out there in regards to awareness or treatments for this disorder. Previously, I’d wanted to do a series of drawings about my struggles, representing my body as a garden I was destroying. However, they didn’t work out so I put that idea on the back-burner."

Get to know a Writing Center Tutor
Tell us about yourself:
My name is Emma Jett. I’m a sophomore majoring in English Literature and Secondary Education, and I’m a tutor in the Writing Center. Once I graduate, I plan on teaching High School English.

How are you involved on campus?
I’m actually very involved on campus! Aside from being a Writing Tutor, I am also an RA in Hillside Apartments, and I am a Small Group Leader with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship!

How and why did you come to be a tutor?
At the end of my Freshman year, I was looking for more opportunities to prepare myself for my future career. After talking with one of my friends who worked in the Writing Center, as well as my Education advisor, I figured that I would look into the possibility of being a Writing Tutor. I had a meeting with Elaine MacDougal, and I’ve been involved ever since!

What is your favorite thing about being a tutor?
I have loved my time as a tutor, but if I had to pick a single aspect it would probably have to be those moments when a writer goes from feeling self-conscious about their writing to feeling more confident in their ability to convey their ideas, and their ability to represent themselves through their writings.

Why should tutoring be utilized?
Even the most experienced writers benefit from another set of eyes looking at their work. The Writing Center provides a place for students to come in and talk about their writings – no matter where they are in the process. Whether you need help understanding an assignment sheet, want someone to talk to about your writing, or want feedback on a piece of creative writing, meeting with a writing tutor can help make your writing process a smoother one.

What advice would you give students for how to prepare for a session?
Come prepared for a conversation! If you’re coming in for a shorter session, it’s helpful to have some ideas about what you want to cover when you come into the session.

How do I make an appointment?
Our scheduling system, WCOnline, helps you make online and in person appointments.  

The Writing Center is a tutoring space dedicated to helping UMBC students with writing in any class. The Writing Center offers one-on-one sessions that generally last between 30 minutes to an hour. We work with students at any stage of the writing process, so you don’t even need to bring a finished paper. If you’re having trouble getting started, bring us your assignment sheet and spend a few minutes talking about pre-writing strategies with any of our experienced tutors. If you have an outline, we can help you expand and improve on that, as well.

Ninja: Japan’s Soft Power And American Appropriation

Crysshelda Kosasih,  Asian Studies
Mentor: Meredith Oyen

Poster, 1-2:30pm, UC Ballroom

American society has used the term ninja without a second thought, but how have these shadowy figures become a tool to spread Japanese influence? The postwar occupation of Japan sparked interest in Japanese culture and made way for the “Cool Japan” movement that would develop in later decades. This project will discuss whether or not the general use of the term ‘ninja’ is or can be considered cultural appropriation as it is so far removed from its cultural background. The main method of determining cultural appropriation will be the contrast and comparison between Japan’s and America’s use of the ninja. This research project will use historical and cultural sources in English and Japanese, such as Japanamerica: How Japanese Pop Culture Has Invaded the U.S.by Roland Kelts, 「The Ninja - 忍者ってナンジャ！？」(English title: The Ninja - Who were they?) as well as field work in Japan to determine just how ninjas have crept into the global vocabulary and are now almost synonymous with the idea of deadly silent efficiency.
