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.

Promise is offering a workshop for all students who are interested in teaching. You do not have to be a TA to attend.

This Friday, August 24, 2018, The Graduate School at UMBC will host the annual Teaching & Learning Workshop, which serves as campus-wide TA training, and a workshop for all students who are interested in teaching. You do not have to be a TA to attend. 

Now that UMBC is a member of the national Center for the Integration of Research, Teaching, and Learning (CIRTL), with its own CIRTL at UMBC, graduate students can earn "units" toward a teaching certification that will be managed by CIRTL at UMBC, and administered by UMBC's Faculty Development Center. This workshop on Friday "counts" as one of the 6 activities needed to earn an "Associate" level certification through CIRTL. Other universities such as Johns Hopkins, Yale, College Park, Purdue, Northwestern, etc. have CIRTL certifications, and it is becoming a nice national credential to have as students approach the job market. Become CIRTL-certified!

  • This Friday, August 24, 2018
  • 9:00 AM - 1:00 PM (breakfast and registration at 8:30)
  • Sherman Hall Auditorium, Room 003.

Please register on MyUMBC: https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/promise/events/61224. 
This event is free. We have room for 100+ graduate students. Breakfast will be served. 

Following the seminar, there will be a 1-hour lunch, 1:00 - 2:00 PM,  that is part of the "Deluty Series on Holistic Graduate Student Development," honoring retired Associate Prof. and Associate Dean, Dr. Robert H. Deluty. This is the 2nd talk in the series that started in 2017. We will discuss work/life balance and the lunch is free. RSVP here: 
https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/promise/events/61463. Grad School Associate Dean, Dr. Jeffrey Halverson and I will be the speakers. 

These two events listed above are open to all graduate students, full-time and part-time, certificate students, faculty, and staff. In the spirit of "The Jessica Effect," graduate students are welcome to bring their families with them.

Additional events can be found via the attached listing. Some of them have already been posted: https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/promise.

Letter from the WEEF-GEDC chair:

“Dear colleague,

Peace engineering envisions and works towards a world where prosperity, sustainability, social equity, entrepreneurship, transparency, community voice and engagement, and a culture of quality thrive. Engineers have the power to play a vital role in delivering creative solutions that can radically transform and improve human and natural wellbeing.

As we educate future engineers, we must ensure that they embrace their role as engineers of peace. We must provide them with the skills, understanding, capacity for reflection, sense of social responsibility and ethics, and resources to successfully navigate the socio-political impacts of their projects, engage in transdisciplinary developments and frankly, imagine, design, and create a better world for us all.

On behalf of the conference planning committee, I would like to invite you to submit an abstract for presentation or poster to the 2018 World Engineering Education Forum – Global Engineering Dean’s Council to be held in the heart of the Southwest, Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Ramiro Jordan, PhD
Chair, 2018 WEEF-GEDC”
