Global Studies Students Abroad
Acacia Levin: Chiang Mai, Thailand
Global Studies student Acacia Levin is currently studying abroad at Chiang Mai University in Thailand. Read more about her experiences living and studying abroad below:
"I have been studying at Chiang Mai University through
The Education Abroad Network which is partnered with three other programs, thus bringing a diverse group of students together. Since the first day of being in Chiang Mai our program leaders have immersed us in culturally and educationally unique experiences that one would not be able to enjoy simply as a tourist. In just my first two months I have learned about the more 'behind the scenes' aspects of Thailand and Southeast Asia. I have gone on excursions focusing on rural Thai life, agriculture, ethnic minorities, the history of opium in this region, sex trafficking, animal cruelty towards elephants, alternative energy in rural areas, and Buddhism.
"A few of the many highlights from these excursions have been the village homestay I did in the second week where our group was welcomed into a rural village where we learned more about traditional Thai life and culture as well as learned how to plant rice and vegetables in the fields. Another amazing trip was hiking through Doi Inthanon- the tallest mountain in Thailand- where we experienced the natural beauty of water falls, terraced crop fields, and visited hill tribes for local coffee tasting.
"Aside from our numerous eye-opening excursions and rigorous yet fascinating classes, some of the greatest experiences have been personal experiences with local Thai people and with the art and music scene. After taking six hours of Thai language class each week, I am always eager to go out and practice reading, writing, and speaking Thai. By disciplining myself to really learn this difficult language, I have opened up opportunities for friendships with Thai people as well as the shop and restaurant owners in my neighborhood.
"There is a thriving music and arts scenes here as well. My two favorite events I have attended so far have been a metal festival which featured local Thai metal bands- now some of my favorite bands, and the very first film festival this city has had where I learned more about Southeast Asian culture, history, and perspectives. This entire experience so far has been so enlightening and I feel like I have made a new home for myself here."

CFP: Faculty Working Groups in the Humanities
The Dresher Center is accepting proposals for new groups
Apply by April 1, 2017 for groups beginning in Fall 2017
The Dresher Center invites proposals for new Faculty Working Groups in the Humanities. Dresher Center Faculty Working Groups are collaborative, interdisciplinary communities of scholars working on humanities projects, research concerns, or matters of public interest. The Dresher Center provides support for the formation of these groups in an effort to promote intellectual exchange and support research activity in the humanities among scholars across campus. Working groups meet regularly and can use their funds to travel to sites or archives, host speakers, explore technologies, create new resources or materials, or other similar activities.
Faculty Working Groups can apply for up to $1,000 in annual support ($500 per semester) for their first-year activities. While faculty may come from any UMBC department, priority will be given to groups with at least one member from a humanities department.
Fundable activities include travel to sites or archives, speaker presentations, use/purchase of technology, creation of resources or materials, and support for regular meetings or workshops, etc.
Current Dresher Center Faculty Working Groups may also apply for continuation funding (same deadlines).
For best consideration, apply by April 1, 2017 for groups beginning in fall 2017.
