<Title>URCAD Sneak Peek: Sydney Fryer</Title>
<Tagline>Decriminalizing Baltimore's &#8216;Squeegee Kids&#8217;</Tagline>

    <p><strong>Decriminalizing (and Re-Humanizing) the ‘Squeegee Kid’</strong></p>
    <p><em><strong>Sydney Fryer</strong></em><br>Mentor: Dena Aufseeser, Geography and Environmental Systems</p>
    <p>Squeegee Kids are young people between the ages of 10-25 that clean windshields in Baltimore city for a small fee. Their informal but infamous work has been seen as entrepreneurial, hazardous, or criminal over the years. This project uses discourse analysis to analyze and understand the dangerous rhetoric often used to describe these young people and the historical racism that has led to this rhetoric. It also seeks to allow these young people a chance to redefine themselves through a series of interviews. This is all in the hope that, through a more humanizing approach to understanding these ‘Squeegee Kids’, their work, and the reason for it, there can be a more humane discussion around their place in Baltimore city.</p>
    <p><em>This work was funded, in part, through an Undergraduate Research Award from the UMBC Division of Undergraduate Academic Affairs, and a Social Science Undergraduate Research Award from the Center for Social Science Scholarship.</em></p>

<Title>Additional CITI training module</Title>
<Tagline>FERPA added to Information Privacy and Security course</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <div><span><a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/compliance/posts/101104" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><strong>***Reposted from the ORPC***<br></strong></a><br></span></div>
    <span>The ORPC has obtained for the campus community a CITI training module that describes investigators responsibilities for research using Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) data. </span><div><br></div>
    <div>The aim of FERPA is to protect the privacy of students by giving them (and their parents if they are minors) access to their educational records and control over the disclosure of this information to third parties.  Data holders (organizations that would provide access to such data, including UMBC) as well as the IRB will have specific requirements on how data may be used, who may have access, etc.  Such requirements are documented in data use agreements and approved human subjects use applications.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>This module provides details on topics including: </div>
    <div>
    <div><ul>
    <li>Recognizing current issues and challenges to FERPA</li>
    <li>Identifying the level of risk in using different types of student data for research</li>
    <li>Employing safe methods in the collection and analysis of student data as well as the best way to collect, handle, and analyze student records in compliance with FERPA</li>
    <li>Discussing proper ways to present student data without disclosing private information</li>
    <li>Describing ways to remain compliant with FERPA requirements in human subjects research.</li>
    </ul></div>
    <div>To register for CITI and/or add this course to your active course, follow the instructions found on the <a href="https://research.umbc.edu/human-subjects-use-training-2/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Human Subjects Use Training </a>page.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div> If you have any questions, please contact the ORPC at <a href="mailto:compliance@umbc.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">compliance@umbc.edu</a>. </div>

    <p>In this 40 @ 4 webinar, Dr. Zhang will discuss entrepreneurship among older individuals based on her multiple research studies funded by the Kauffman Foundation. In her talk, she will examine the age-entrepreneurship relationship that extends the occupational choice to eight entrepreneur types and four generational modification effects for the United State older population. Dr. Zhang will also present her new findings on digitization and older entrepreneurship. We are certain her presentation will produce exciting thoughts/discussion from the audience.</p>

    <span><strong>Dr. Rebeca Gamez</strong>’s research interests include relational and comparative race and ethnicity, space and place, immigration, and educational inequality, with a focus on how racialized and minoritized youth navigate their schooling, learning, and ethnoracial identities. Additionally, she has a broader interest in English Language Arts teaching and curriculum, teacher education, and critical qualitative research methodologies. She was an American Educational Research Association (AERA) Minority Dissertation Fellow. Prior to earning her doctorate in Education at Johns Hopkins University, she was </span><span>a middle school literacy teacher in Trenton, New Jersey. <span>She also has extensive experience in grassroots community organizing around financial justice, immigrant rights, and educational equity issues. </span></span>

    <div><span><span><br></span></span></div>
    <div>
    <p><span>Dr. Gamez will teach two courses this fall for LLC, as well as contribute to programmatic activities and initiatives.</span></p>
    <p><span> </span></p>
    <p><strong><span>LLC 610: Identity as Cultural Practice, Thursdays 4:30 – 7:00 pm </span></strong><span>(hybrid mode)<strong></strong></span></p>
    <p><span>In this course we will define, discuss, and study identity as a cultural practice from the perspective of many disciplines and interdisciplinary fields involved in LLC. From theoretical explorations of the complexities and challenges in current identity scholarship and research to methodological approaches across the disciplines to the praxis of identity research, we will engage in a collaborative inquiry on how identity can be understood as a cultural practice anchored in particular times and spaces. </span></p>

    <p><strong><span>LLC 650: Ethnographic Methods, Mondays 4:30 – 7:00 pm </span></strong><span>(hybrid mode)</span></p>
    <p><span>In this course, we will cover theoretical perspectives, research techniques and design, data management and analysis, and ethical questions pertinent to ethnographic research and qualitative research more broadly. Additionally, we will explore how to engage in ethnographic research in contemporary times, where the arrival of COVID-19 presents new obstacles to conducting ethnographic and qualitative research. Students will also have the opportunity to conduct original qualitative research as it relates to language, literacy, and culture. </span></p>
