Maintaining Healthy Family Boundaries
Another year of college is coming to a close. An important part of growing and adjusting to college life, has been maintaining healthy relationships and boundaries with your family. In fact, college tends to bring a lot of newfound independence in one's life, and could even be someone's first time living away from home. This independence and transition into adulthood could possibly cause a shift in family dynamics that can be difficult for both you and your family to navigate. Know that if you are struggling with this, you are not alone. The summer serves as a great time to review how your college year went and how you navigated those relationships. Here are some tips to help you develop and maintain a healthy relationship with your family during your time in college and beyond.
Tip #1: Create a Budget:
Money can be a huge stressor for college students and their families. If you know you'll be relying on them for some financial support throughout college, it can be helpful to sort that out in a shared spreadsheet. Even if you aren't financially reliant on your parents, having a clear budget for yourself is still a great way to reduce a lot of uncertainty or stress regarding one's finances and spending. Make sure to be clear about your limits if you're also earning some money for the family, as you might need some savings for food, utilities, etc. Bottom line, make sure all aspects of the budget are clear to everyone in the family and yourself.
Tip #2: Communicate
Have a genuine discussion with your family about what your boundaries may be as you navigate college. Maybe you're living on campus and you know you can't be in contact with your family everyday. So schedule calls with them when both your schedules allow it. Both you and your family being flexible is incredibly important for transitioning and adapting to college life.
Tip 3: Actively Listen
Schedule time to talk to your family, hear out their concerns completely before you think of your own response, and ask questions. When communicating your boundaries, it's crucial to keep a patient and attentive attitude. These conversations are a two way street - your family should also do the same for you as well!
Resources
The move to college life is a huge transition, and it's important to note that students do feel the effects of strained relationships. Not addressing this strain can make the issue worse, lead to past issues coming up again, or even make present circumstances all the more hard to handle. If you are experiencing any challenges within your family, parental, or caregiver relationships, please remember to utilize the plenty of resources available to you at UMBC. They include:
- Friends: Express your concerns/worries with a friend you trust.
- Clinical Staff Members: Retriever Integrated Health (RIH) has counselors you can talk to. Set up an appointment by calling 410-455-2542.
-
Academic Advocates: They are available to advise and help navigate any challenges that may be personal, financial, academic, etc.
Depending on the situation, here are additional resources to consider:

Message from Department Chair, Dr. Tamara Bhalla
Dear American Studies Faculty, Staff, Students, Alumni, and Supporters:
Many thanks for your support as we close out the 2022-2023 Academic Year.
It has been an exciting and productive first year as the chair of the American Studies department. Please read on for some Department highlights from this past year.
Thank you all for your support of the department and a big congratulations to all of our American Studies, majors and minors, Public Humanities minors, and Asian American Studies minors who are graduating this year.
If you need us, during the summer, just drop me an email at tbhalla@umbc.edu or email our amazing program management specialist, Morgan Dowty at morgando@umbc.edu.

American Studies 2022-2023 Department Highlights
At Undergraduate Research and Achievement Day 2023, we had some excellent student presentations. Megumi Fukuzawa, Asian American Studies minor, presented a "From Resentment to Reconciliation: A Study of Changes in the Asian American Mother-Daughter Trope." Kendall Howell presented "Watch Me Work: Baltimore Barbershops, Hair Salons, Stories and More." Evelyn Yuen, Public Humanities minor, presented "Mapping 100+ Years of Baltimore's Asian Restaurant History."
In February 2023, Sarah Fouts signed an advanced contract with UNC Press for her manuscript entitled Right to Remain: Street Food Vendors and Day Laborers in Post-Katrina New Orleans. Fouts is also wrapping up a year-long Whiting Fellowship for Public Engagement in May 2023 where she will complete the collaborative New Orleans-based, "Project Neutral Grounds: At the Intersection of People, Street Food, and the Hustle."
In July 2023, Sarah Fouts and Nicole King will launch the Baltimore Field School 2.0 which is focused on developing community-engaged teaching and research projects that move away from extractive practices. Dr. Mike Casiano is a fellow in the field school. 
On April 12, 2023, the department sponsored a book workshop for Dr. Mike Casiano's in-progress manuscript, entitled Let us Alone: Race and Police Power in Baltimore, 1865-1929.
For a few recent publications from our faculty, check out the Journal of Asian American Studies, where Dr. Tamara Bhalla co-authored "The Privilege of South Asian American Studies" and "'Building Together' in Baltimore? Corporate Megadevelopment and Coalitions for Community Power" in Urban Affairs Review co-authored by Dr. Nicole King.
