CAHSS Global Learning Lab CAHSS faculty are invited to apply by February 4. Attention CAHSS Faculty:

We are pleased to announce the College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences (CAHSS) Global Learning Lab which is a joint initiative between the Center for Global Engagement (CGE) and the CAHSS Dean's Office to develop a faculty learning community dedicated to increasing access to global learning opportunities within CAHSS. The Global Learning Lab is a cohort-style semester-long program that will provide a framework for faculty to exchange best practices and innovative models for integrating global learning into the CAHSS curriculum over a series of four workshops. Lunch will be served at each of the workshops.

All faculty - tenured/tenure-track, lecturers, and adjuncts (minimum of six semesters) - who teach courses in the College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences are invited to apply for the inaugural cohort. Faculty accepted into the lab must commit to attending each of the workshops below and producing one project to present at the conclusion of the lab. Faculty will receive a $1,500 stipend to support their intended project upon successfully completing the Spring 2024 Global Learning Lab. Applicants must discuss their intended project with their department chairs prior to applying.

  • Workshop #1 - Friday, February 16 from 10 AM - 1 PM - Internationalization of the Curriculum Through Curricular Mapping will focus on identifying the ideal term(s), course(s), location(s)/partner(s) for students to participate in a global learning experience.


  • Workshop #2 - Friday, March 1 from 10 AM - 1 PM - Developing a Faculty-Led Study Abroad (FLSA) Program will focus on building a study abroad program using best practices to support student learning and the development of skills, attitudes, and experiences that promote global and cultural competency.


  • Workshop #3 Friday, April 5 from 10 AM - 1 PM - Global Learning for All: Virtual Exchange will focus on how to foster opportunities to develop cultural and global competencies in an existing course through virtual exchanges known as Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL).


  • Workshop #4- Friday, April 26 from 10 AM - 1 PM - CAHSS Global Engagement Lab Project Presentations will provide an opportunity for faculty in the lab to present their global engagement project (i.e. curricular mapping for their department, FLSA proposal, or COIL course).


Important The ideal faculty cohort will represent the diversity of CAHSS programs and a diversity of intended projects. As such, if more than one faculty from a specific department is applying, they are encouraged to speak with their colleagues to ensure their intended projects are complementary (i.e. one faculty member may propose to work on a virtual exchange/COIL and another will work on proposing a faculty-led study abroad program).

The deadline to apply for the Spring 2024 cohort is 11:59 p.m. on February 4, 2024. Faculty will be notified about the status of their application by February 9, 2024. The application for the Fall 2024 cohort will open in March 2024.

As drug smugglers are swapping drug trafficking for the highly prized and lucrative Cocobolo lumber, micro-deforestation attacks in the Darién tropical rain forest have increased exponentially endangering Indigenous people’s territories and cultures. Join Rolando Vargas as he discussed the forms of Indigenous knowledge production, from earthenware, to drones and other digital mobile technologies that challenge the ongoing attempts to dispossess Indigenous people of their land.


Bio: 
Rolando Vargas is a media artist and scholar working with installation and digital media. He has a BFA from Universidad de Los Andes, Colombia; received an MFA at UMBC as a Fulbright fellow; and has a Ph.D. in Film and Digital media from the University of California, Santa Cruz. Rolando’s research «Kuna Indigenous Media and Knowledge in the Darién Tropical Rain Forest» focused on the politics of traversal and terrain, mapping and survival, and the geographies of collective labor as modes of indigenous resistance. Vargas has presented his work at Transmediale, the Kassel Documentary Film Festival, SESC Videobrasil, Rencontres Internationales Paris/Berlin, Kunstverein Düsseldof, EMAF, Ficvaldivia, and other international venues. He is currently a Mellon Foundation postdoctoral fellow at the University of Virginia.

In December 2023, Chris Ambrose, acting associate director for Residential Life, was elected to the Leadership Council of the American College Personnel Association (ACPA) as the Coordinator-Elect for ACPA Chapters & Divisions. (He'll serve one year as a coordinator-elect, two years as a coordinator, and one year as past coordinator/advisor.)

Chris will work with all ACPA chapter and division leaders from across the US and beyond. He will provide voice, input, and perspectives of ACPA's chapters and divisions to the Leadership Council; serve as a voting member on the Leadership Council (after his elect year); plan and coordinate meetings of ACPA chapter and division leaders, including meetings at the ACPA Annual Convention; and communicate Association updates, requests, strategies, and concerns with ACPA chapter and division leaders. 

He has been involved with ACPA since he was an undergraduate and has since presented at ACPA local and national conferences and held leadership positions at the state and association levels. "I am really excited to engage with ACPA and the profession as a whole in this new, meaningful way," he says.

Chris joined UMBC on February 27, 2023 as assistant director of residential education and became acting associate director in fall 2023. His responsibilities include behaviors of concern case management, parent communication, director-level resolution authority, and communication to the VPSA office, as well as HR and payroll oversight and residential life organizational review. He also continues to supervise community directors, work with upper class and apartment residents, teach the RA class, lead the Residential Curriculum Committee, and oversee Residential Life's assessment initiatives such as Skyfactor.
