UMBC PUBLIC STORIES LAB STORYTELLING SCHOLARSHIP

The Storytelling Scholarships for the 2025-2026 academic year have been announced. The application, which can be accessed here, is intended for UMBC students (both undergraduate and graduate) to apply for a $500 scholarship to support storytelling research and praxis. The deadline to submit for the 2025-2026 academic year is Friday, October 17th; scholarship recipients will be contacted if further information about their project is requested and final scholarship decisions will be made by November 15th.

The Public Stories Lab engages and supports a broad variety of public storytelling research and praxis. We encourage applications from students across UMBC colleges (COEIT, CNMS, CAHSS, Social Work, Erickson School) and campuses (UMBC Catonsville, Shady Grove). Projects might include digital storytelling, podcasting, story mapping, oral histories, immersive storytelling, public storytelling performances, oral storytelling traditions, visual storytelling (animation, comics, zines), data stories, and more! 

Scholarship recipients will be expected to attend one mentoring session with PSL mentors and other scholarship recipients and share their storytelling project (finished or in progress) at the PSL Storytelling Mini-Fest at the end of the Spring 2026 semester. The Public Stories Lab (PSL) is a collaborative and innovative hub for faculty, students, and staff to co-construct knowledge and to bring relationships and stories to the center of research and pedagogy; proposals for this scholarship should align with the mission of the PSL. 

If you have any questions before you submit, please email Charlotte Keniston (ckenist1@umbc.edu), or Sarah Jewett (sjewett@umbc.edu).

[Sharing from the UMBC Latinx and Hispanic Faculty Association] 
See the original myUMBC post here. 

The Community Documentary Night (Sandy Springs, Georgia) invites everyone to the free Special Virtual Documentary Night virtually THIS SUNDAY, September 21st (7 - 9pm EST) in honor of National Hispanic Heritage Month. The purpose of the events is to give people the opportunity to engage in meaningful discussions on a wide range of topics with people from various backgrounds. 

This event is in collaboration with the Florida State University Hispanic Graduate Student Association (FSU HiGSA). FSU HiGSA aims to promote Hispanic culture at FSU, to generate a support network that helps new graduate students settle and adapt to FSU and the local community, to mentor graduate students to succeed in academic life and goals, and to generate awareness of social and political issues in Hispanic countries and their relationship with the USA.

For this event we are meeting to talk about the film, The Cheech. The Cheech Marin Center for Chicano Art & Culture of the Riverside Art Museum showcases the actor's collection of more than 700 pieces by Mexican-American artists. Told through perspectives of established artists and those who know him best, the film tells his journey from comedy icon to Chicano art advocate. Director Varda Bar-Kar, Producer Alessandra Pasquino, and Artists Michael Alvarez, Alfonso Gonzalez Jr., and Jaime Muñoz will be joining us for a special guest Q&A! 

Here is a link to where you can watch the film for free.  >>Click here to watch The Cheech for free<<

The way this works is that everyone watches the film on their own BEFORE the event, then we meet on zoom to discuss. We break everyone out into randomized small groups of around 4 or 5 people, give them a discussion prompt, and give them about 20 minutes or so to discuss in their randomized groups.  We will do multiple rounds of small group discussion with different groups and different prompts. This gives everyone an opportunity to meet new people and hear a variety of voices and perspectives throughout the night. Finally, we will end the night with a special guest Q&A! 

When: Sunday, September 21st, 7 - 9 pm Eastern Time, but you don't have to stay the entire time. It is very flexible so people can come late or leave early if needed. 

Where: Virtual, The zoom info will be available once you RSVP on the Eventbrite page. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/special-virtual-documentary-night-tickets-1242639772009
