The Center for Social Science Scholarship invites applications for Faculty Working Groups to promote intellectual exchange in the social sciences and across campus. These collaborative scholarly learning communities will meet regularly to engage in such activities as: working on research projects, reading key literature, exploring new methodological approaches, and/or engaging in matters of public interest related to the social sciences.

Up to four Faculty Working Groups will be selected by the center director and advisory board members. Groups should be faculty-led and must include at least one faculty member from a social science department at UMBC. Additional priority will be given to groups whose members and/or areas of interest are multi- or interdisciplinary. Advanced graduate students may participate as Faculty Working Group members but may not serve as leaders.

Faculty Working Groups can apply for up to $1,000 in annual support ($500 per semester); groups will also be able to apply for continuation funding. Groups may use funds for such items as: supporting regular group meetings; purchasing software, books, or other materials; hosting external speakers; creating scholarly resources; traveling to external sites for research or public engagement purposes; and other similar activities. A brief report of the group’s activities will be due at the end of the funding period.

Apply by May 30, 2020, for groups to begin in Fall 2020.

Click on the attached file to download the application form. 

Applications should be submitted via email to socialscience@umbc.edu. Questions may be directed to Christine Mallinson, Director of the Center for Social Science Scholarship.

Social Science Research and Responses to COVID-19
 
Members of the UMBC social science community have been leading efforts to research and respond to COVID-19. 
 
A new National Science Foundation-funded project will examine intensified discrimination against Chinese-Americans in response to the global pandemic.

UMBC faculty and students have provided expert commentary and written op-eds for outlets including the New York Times, Washington Post, The Atlantic, Huffington Post, Baltimore Sun, and more.
 
On April 17 at 1pm, the Center for Social Science Scholarship will host an interdisciplinary “Ask the Expert” virtual forum on social science responses to COVID-19, featuring faculty panelists from Emergency Health Services, History, Political Science, Psychology, and Public Policy. Visit our event page for more details.

The Center for Social Science Scholarship is also building an online repository of COVID-19-related research and responses by members of the UMBC social science community. Check out a video on disaster politics, a new Coronavirus Chronicles digital archive, and resources for those shifting to online research methods. We’ll be adding more in the weeks to come.
 
Send us your own contribution! Provide a short video, screencast, photograph, or quote that explains how your research is tackling issues related to COVID-19, or how insights from your research or discipline help us understand this global crisis, and we’ll feature them on the web and social media.

The Coronavirus Chronicles Archive is a publicly sourced, transnational database of stories about the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on everyday life. Based out of the University of Pennsylvania, one member of the team is Conor Donnan (MA, History 2016).


This project is for everyone embroiled in this crisis. It invites people of diverse backgrounds around the world to pen “diaries” of their day-to-day, as well as to share their thoughts on public health strategies. The resulting collage of stories, presented on an online platform, will facilitate a continued connection, and demonstrate that no one is or should be alone in this fight. The publicly sourced database will also serve as an invaluable archive for future researchers seeking a grassroots understanding of the pandemic, expanding their data sources from policy, and breaking news to include your stories. The voices of the majority of people are often neglected in history books, but this project hopes to enable scholars to include your diverse perspectives in future research about COVID-19.

On March 30, 2020 Sedrick Smith of LLC Cohort 18 successfully defended his dissertation and earned the title of Doctor of Philosophy.

His defense went very smoothly, despite its being the first virtual defense for the LLC Program. He was gratified by the large remote audience, which included his children, who under other circumstances would have been at school.   

He gave an excellent presentation of his dissertation research, "Depictions versus Reality: Countering the television mediated narratives of Black teachers in Baltimore."

The Program wishes to acknowledge the guidance and commitment of Sedrick’s committee:

To pass the time, they tell each other stories…”

(Cover copy. The Decameron, by Giovanni Boccaccio, Penguin Classics, 1972)

As a creative response to the postponement of the DST2020 Conference, the conference organizers are initiating a project we call the “Digital Decameron.”  As in Boccaccio’s original, the project will run ten days, with ten stories featured here each day.  We will begin on March 30, the original planned start of DST2020.

We welcome your submissions.

We are inviting those who want to create new digital stories to do so, or find one that has inspired you, or look for one, as you might find on the StoryCenter YouTube channel, that you find particularly powerful.

There are no particular rules; it could be a new story or a previously created one; it could be a direct response to the current situation, or simply a story that celebrates humanity in all its imperfection; it could be a personal story, or any story you would like to tell in the circumstances. A length of less that five minutes is suggested.

Upload your new story to YouTube, or find a digital story and copy the URL, and send the link to: digitalstories@umbc.edu.  If you are uploading a new story, make sure you add your description as part of your upload process on YouTube.

Stories received before March 30 will be considered for the initial ten days.  Beyond this, we hope to grow the collection and keep it available here, so submissions will remain open after the 30th.


    “To take pity on people in distress is a human quality which every man and woman should possess, but it is especially requisite in those who have once needed comfort, and found it in others. … in my anguish I have on occasion derived much relief from the agreeable conversation and the admirable expressions of sympathy offered by friends, without which I am firmly convinced that I should have perished.”
