Campus War Machine: Sex and Debt
Call for applications- Fisher Center Predoctoral Fellowship
In keeping with the Fisher Center’s mission of supporting research and dialogue about gender through curricular, programmatic, and scholarly projects, the Fisher Center Steering Committee announces a call for applications for our 2014-2015 Fisher Center Predoctoral Fellowship. We seek dissertation scholars and advanced candidates for the MFA whose work critically engages the terms of our theme, Campus War Machine: Sex and Debt. We are especially interested in candidates who would contribute to the diversity of the campus.
Theme
In 2014-15, the Fisher Center considers the ways gender figures into the wars being waged on, by, or in the name of higher education. There is a growing discourse in the U.S. and globally on the systems of inequality that underpin the educational system. Debt bondage, the casualization of academic labor, the proliferation of rape culture, DOD funded research, the privatization of public education, the subsumption of educational practices to the dictates of market-driven technological innovations, the inability for many youth to attend school in war-torn societies, and the repression of student protests are all features of the low and high-intensity wars being waged on college campuses. At the same time, title IX sexual assault suits, organized resistance to corporate and government surveillance, progressive research in the sciences and humanities, and academic boycotts suggest that campuses are fighting back. What are the invisible ways that college campuses produce and transmit material, financial, environmental, gendered, and psychological violences? Conversely, how does the campus, as a site for radical thought, activism, and change, disrupt these violences?
Historical research on the role of the slave trade in funding major universities, as well as the role of universities in reproducing a specific ruling class, attends to the legacy of education as an apparatus of power. The collaboration between universities and large corporate firms, financial institutions, military–research projects, pharmaceutical, bio-tech, and energy companies fuels the war machines and profit–making industries of today’s global powers. How does this impact funding and research across disciplines and how does that shape curriculum? The educational system is also a “home” for students, educators and community members. The struggles they face are structured by systems of sexism, ableism, classism, ageism, racism, colonial settler systems and ideologies, militarization, capitalist scripts, gendered violence, geopolitics, and the globalization of neoliberalism. How might we learn from past struggles that took the university as a primary site, from groups such as the Students for a Democratic Society or campaigns such as those targeting apartheid and sweatshop labor? What gains have been made in more recent decades as queer theorists and politics have challenged suppositions of sex, gender, and embodiment? And in what ways has new work on prisons, policing, and surveillance drawn out not just the structural parallels between prisons and universities but their fundamentally antagonistic positioning as two sides of the capitalist state’s coin?
In light of these shifting gendered campus battlegrounds, how are radical feminists, activists, artists, scientists, and academic scholars taking on these competing inequalities? What are historical and contemporary examples of pedagogical techniques that provide a framework for creating educational spaces that are free of political inequalities? We seek to create a highly interdisciplinary research group of scholars and artists who will engage these questions in creative ways as we explore these gendered campus battlegrounds and global precarities of educational opportunity.
Fellowship
The fellowship offers an opportunity to gain experience teaching in private liberal arts institutions while completing thesis work, and carries a stipend of $35,000.00. Fellows will teach one course per semester related to their research area, attend Fisher Center lectures and meetings, present one colloquium, and conduct some administrative duties associated with the Visiting Scholars program. Additionally, the Pre-Doctoral Fellow will receive a $4,000 research stipend through her/his participation as a member of the Fisher Center Research Fellows Group. This group is comprised of interdisciplinary scholars who meet regularly to discuss the Fisher Center Research Theme: Campus War Machine: Sex and Debt. Pre-Doctoral candidates nearing completion of the dissertation and MFA candidates who have completed their coursework and beginning work on their thesis must submit a one-page description of scholarship, a short statement on teaching interests, up-to-date curriculum vitae, three letters of reference, and a writing sample (e.g., chapter of dissertation), and, for MFA candidates, a supplemental video or portfolio if relevant. Screening of applications will begin on March 28, 2014 and will continue until the position is filled. Completed applications should be sent to: Cadence Whittier, Director, The Fisher Center for the Study of Women and Men, Hobart and William Smith Colleges, Geneva, NY 14456. Email inquiries may be sent to whittier@hws.edu. Information about the Fisher Center can be found on our website.

Rethinking Intellectual Activism conference
April 12, 2014
Registration for the Rethinking Intellectual Activism conference on April 12, 2014, is now open! This is the first annual LLC Graduate Student Conference and will be held at UMBC.
Join us as we explore the potential meanings and practical implications of “intellectual activism,” which, as a political praxis of knowledge production, validation, and distribution, can take many different forms. By focusing on the notion of “intellectual activism,” the conference aims to open a critical discursive space to question and re-imagine the role of the university in maintaining and/or disrupting the systems and operations of power within and through which the institution functions.
Please use this link to register by March 15th. The finalized conference program can be seen here.

Advocacy Training Day in Washington, D.C.
August 6, 2014
SCRA and the Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues (SPSSI) are considering holding a joint Advocacy Training Day in Washington, DC. This training would take place on August 6, the day before the start of the APA convention. Following a half-day expert training, participants will meet with the staff of their Senators and Representatives (with peers from their state) to advocate for a specific legislative issue. Given that 2014 marks the 50th anniversary of Lyndon Johnson’s War on Poverty, the legislative issue on which we advocate is likely to be poverty-related (see below).
You do not need any prior expertise on the legislative issue we will be advocating for—the training materials will provide all the information needed. The meetings with Capitol Hill staff will provide an opportunity to learn how to engage in federal advocacy, regardless of your area of expertise. The training will include coverage of the most effective advocacy techniques as well as interactive role-playing exercises in preparation for the Hill visits.
There is no cost for this event. Travel support is available for a small number of students. You can attend without registering for the APA convention; the two are not related. The advocacy training event is being paid for ($100 per person) by two divisions of the American Psychological Association and so to quality the students would need to be members of either the community psychology or the social psychology divisions.
If you would be interested in attending, please contact Ken Maton (maton@umbc.edu) from the SCRA Policy Committee and answer the following questions answer the following questions:
1.Would you be interested in attending the training (choose one):
Definitely
Likely
Possibly
Depends on the advocacy issue of focus
2.What poverty-related policy issues are you interested in? This information will help us focus our efforts for what policy issues will be covered during Advocacy Day.

Hands-on Raspberry Pi workshop, 2-4 Friday March 7, ITE240
The UMBC Council of Computing Majors will hold its first hands-on Raspberry Pi workshop from 2:00-4:00 this Friday, March 7, in ITE240.
The Raspberry Pi is a $35 credit-card-sized, single-board computer that runs a version of Unix. Originally developed for teaching computer programming to children, it is now being used in many useful and exciting applications, from near-space weather balloons to baby monitors to media servers. The possibilities are only limited by your imagination.
The initial workshop will cover the Raspberry Pi, its Raspbian Unix OS, and how to program it using Python for real-world applications. There will be 20 Pi computers for participants to use. The workshop is designed so freshman and non-computer science majors can attend and participate. If you know anyone who would be interested in attending, please send them the link and information!
Space is limited, so sign up to reserve a seat. Intermediate and advanced workshops will follow later in the semester. See the Pi FAQ for general information on the Pi and Raspbian for information on its operating system.
For more information, contact CCM president Austin Murdock (Sorry, you need javascript to view this email address. ).

Google Glass Still Needs a Killer App
Glass is still a pain to use, but a few apps reveal what it could become.
Aside from the fact that it’s not yet publicly available, there are plenty of reasons to not wear Google Glass even if you get the chance. To name just a few: it’s expensive, it looks and feels weird, it doesn’t work that well, and, whether you’re at home or walking down the street, people will stare at you and the small, prismatic display on your face.

talk: Learning and Optimization for Complex Dynamic Networks, 11:45am Tue 3/11
Learning and Optimization for Complex Dynamic Networks: The
Cases of Future Power Systems and Cognitive Wireless Networks
Dr. Seung-Jun Kim, University of Minnesota
11:45-12:45 Tuesday, 11 March 2014, ITE325b, UMBC
With enormous growth in sensing and communication capabilities as well as processing power to analyze collected data, we are witnessing exciting opportunities in diverse disciplines to study complex interactions of networked entities. The overarching theme is to explore cutting-edge computational intelligence tools from signal processing, machine learning, optimization, and control to make sense of amassed data and exploit complex interactions to make significant real-world impacts. In this talk, I will make cases for two prime examples, namely, future power systems and cognitive wireless networks. The role of contemporary tools including online learning, sparse and low-dimensional models, distributed and robust algorithms, will be emphasized.
Seung-Jun Kim received his B.S. and M.S. degrees from Seoul National University in Seoul, Korea in 1996 and 1998, respectively, and his Ph.D. from the University of California at Santa Barbara in 2005, all in electrical engineering. From 2005 to 2008, he worked for NEC Laboratories America in Princeton, New Jersey, as a Research Staff Member. He is currently with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the Digital Technology Center at the University of Minnesota, where he is a Research Associate Professor and a Research Associate. His research interests lie in applying signal processing, optimization, and machine learning techniques to various application domains including wireless communication and networking and smart power grids.
