Apply for a Dresher Center Residential Faculty Fellowship
Call for Proposals for Spring 2016 (due May 1, 2015)
The Dresher Center for the Humanities invites applications for two Residential Faculty Research Fellowships for spring 2016. Funding is intended to support and promote significant humanities research at UMBC. The Dresher Center welcomes proposals from all full-time, tenured and tenure-track faculty members pursuing humanities research in the College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences. Applications are especially encouraged from, but not limited to, full-time faculty with appointments in departments and programs with a humanities focus. Two fellowships are available. Proposals will be reviewed by the Dresher Center Advisory Board, with decisions by mid-July 2014.
Dresher Center Residential Research Fellows will receive release from teaching (up to two course releases) in order to work on a significant humanities research project or the training necessary to embark on such a project. Faculty wishing to develop expertise in a new field or discipline towards a future project are also encouraged to apply. Each fellow will have the use of a private office in the Dresher Center and will be awarded $500 to hire an undergraduate research assistant (junior or senior) for the semester.
During spring 2016, fellows will reside at least one day per week in the Center, conduct two works-in-progress talks (CURRENTS and Fellows and Others), and participate actively in Dresher Center programs. Upon completion of their fellowship, fellows will serve a two-year term on the Dresher Center advisory board.
For information and an application: http://dreshercenter.umbc.edu/scholarly-resources/internal-residential-fellowship-program/
Contact Jessica Berman, Director, with any questions: jberman@umbc.edu

Baltimore City Students Engage with Literature
Author Reyna Grande comes to UMBC
Baltimore City Students Engage with Literature Author Reyna Grande comes to UMBC for a One Maryland One Book Event
On Tuesday, September 30, UMBC and the Dresher Center for the Humanities hosted 250 middle and high school students from Baltimore City Public Schools for an open conversation and book-signing with author Reyna Grande. Dean Scott Casper welcomed the students, along with Phoebe Stein, Executive Director of the Maryland Humanities Council. The event was followed by a campus tour.
The event was part of the One Maryland One Book program, coordinated by the Maryland Humanities Council. This year's book selection, Grande’s memoir, The Distance Between Us, was guided by the theme of “the American Dream.” In her book, Grande poignantly shares her life before and after entering the United States as an undocumented immigrant. The students, who read the work in English and Spanish, asked Grande about her relationship with her family after arriving in the United States and her experiences as a child growing up in an unfamiliar culture. The author described the dangerous journey from her home in Mexico to reunite with her long-absent father in the U.S. She told of her difficulties in obtaining an education and how she eventually became a writer.
One Maryland One Book Program Officer Andrea Lewis explains: “This event is held on a college campus each year to give the students the opportunity to meet the author of a book they’ve read and to learn about and experience stepping onto a campus. It’s an experience that exposes them to new things and offers a glimpse into what’s possible. The Maryland Humanities Council appreciates the partnership with UMBC and the Dresher Center that made this event possible.”
