Documenting Stories of Migration The Baltimore Field School: Documenting Stories of Migration is a hands-on, practice-based course for students passionate about community collaboration and engagement. Structured as an ethnographic (cultural) field school, students will learn the basics of conducting cultural research and documentation out in the field, focusing on learning and documenting/recording the stories and experiences of refugee community members who have recently resettled in Baltimore. In particular, students will learn to conduct in-depth interviews with refugee community members, audio record the interviews, as well as learn the basics of photographic documentation and archiving resultant documentation. Through selected readings and short films, and guest lectures, students will critically engage with the methods and ethics of ethnographic research and documentation, as well as the scholarship on displacement, migration and immigration. As a collaboration between the American Folklife Center (AFC) at the Library of Congress, UMBC, and the Baltimore office of the International Rescue Committee (IRC), classes will be held at the Lions Building in downtown Baltimore, with fieldwork occurring mainly in East Baltimore. Student's documented interviews and photographs may be preserved in the AFC Archives for future public and research access.

 *** Classes will be held at the Lion Brothers Building in Baltimore. The course is 4 weeks long during summer session II.*** Lion Brothers Building: 875 Hollins St., Baltimore, MD 21201 ***** TRANSPORTATION: ***** By public transportation: The Lion Brothers Building is accessible from campus by UMBC's Downtown Shuttle line, local bus lines, as well as the Charm City Circulator. ***** By car: There is street parking (free and metered) along the residential roads around the Lion Brothers Building. Students may also park on the UMBC campus (with valid parking permit) and ride the Downtown Shuttle.

Dr. Katherine Bankole-Medina, Professor of History, Coppin State University, and Dr. Theresa Runstedtler, Associate Professor of History, American University, have been awarded full academic year fellowships to advance their research while in residence at the Dresher Center. Dr. Bankole-Medina’s project, “African Americans as Specimens, Objects, and Agents: Race and Clinical Care in the Maryland Medical Journal, 1877-1918,” is a 40-year account of the lives of African Americans, drawn from the Maryland Medical Journal. Dr. Runstedtler’s project, “Black Ball: Rethinking the “Dark Ages” of Professional Basketball,” explores the intersection of blackness, masculinity, labor, and criminalization through the lens of 1970s professional basketball.




The Visiting Fellows join the Dresher Center, a robust humanities center environment that holds public events and symposia, grants workshops, and works-in-progress talks, and hosts UMBC residential faculty fellows and graduate fellows. Each Visiting Fellow will partner with a UMBC faculty member with shared research or teaching interests to broaden and deepen the exchange between fellows and the campus community. Fellows receive generous stipends and research support, as well as access to the Dresher Center’s administrative and research development services and campus resources.

The Inclusion Imperative is a major five-year initiative promoting diversity and inclusive excellence in the humanities. Through the Inclusion Imperative, UMBC, in partnership with Bowie State University, Coppin State University, and Howard University, is cultivating a regional network of scholars, who are committed to diversity and inclusion in the humanities. These fundamental partnerships guide the Inclusion Imperative’s three programs: the Visiting Faculty Fellowship Program, the Diversity Teaching Network in the Humanities, and the Humanities Teaching Labs. The Inclusion Imperative programs support and expand community-engaged humanities research, teaching, and learning focused on issues of equity, inclusion, and justice. The Inclusion Imperative is funded by a grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
