Pre-candidacy students are encouraged to apply to this program. Travel and lodging grants are provided by the consortium for all admitted participants.

A Folger Orientation to Research Methods and Agendas

Late-Spring Intensive Skills Course

The best research is inquiry based and allows for serendipity. A scholar needs to sharpen research questions and search skills simultaneously and with sensitivity to the ways questions and sources affect each other. The available evidence may invite a new thesis, require a revised approach, or even suggest a new field of exploration. This intensive week is not designed to advance participants’ individual research projects. Rather, it aims to cultivate a habit of curiosity into primary sources with exercises that engage participants’ research interests. It is offered to help early-stage graduate students develop a set of research-oriented literacies as they explore the Folger’s rich collections. With the guidance of visiting faculty and Folger staff, up to two dozen participants will examine bibliographical tools and their logics, hone their early modern book description skills, and improve their understanding of the cultural and technological histories of texts. Participants will ask reflexive questions about the nature of primary sources, the collections that house them, and the tools whereby one can access them.

 
Schedule: Monday through Friday, 9:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m., 7 – 11 May 2018

 
Apply: 8 January 2018 for admission and grants-in-aid. This skills course is intended for students in the early years of graduate work. In addition to following the general application guidelines, applicants for this course should describe a research question, the motivating reason to look to primary sources to answer this question, and any previous experience with early modern materials. If a participant is able to arrange for one graduate credit on the home campus under the direction of an on-campus advisor, the Institute will certify participation.

Smith International Center for Jefferson Studies. This award allows fellows, like Montia, to use the  Digital Archeological Archive of Comparative Slavery or Getting Word (an oral history project of the descendants of Monticello’s enslaved families.)

This a the description of Montia's research statement:

 “The Reproductive Resistance of Enslaved Women in the Antebellum South” explores the history of resistance practices used by enslaved women to reclaim ownership of their bodies and reproductive rights lost due to chattel slavery. On January 1, 1808, with over four million Africans enslaved in the south, northern and southern congressmen joined in a vote to abolish the African slave trade.  The termination of the trade caused a free labor shortage and it would have been necessary for planters to decide the method in which they would increase human stock.  The most inexpensive way would be through breeding or natural reproduction. My research explores the documented accounts of reproductive resistance practices of enslaved women and midwifery techniques associated with birthing and gynecological care.

Congratulations, Montia.

Dr. Uzma Rashid (LLC '15) has recently published a paper in the Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs. Her paper is titled "Muslim Women in America: Challenges and Politics of Diversity within American Muslim Community".

Abstract:

This paper will examine the complexities of the struggles faced by young Muslim women within the American Muslim community. Data are part of a study aimed at understanding the ways in which the gendered religious identities of Muslim women are constructed in the United States. This work seeks to address the dearth of research on the lives of Muslim women, and to identify and enhance an under- standing of the issues and challenges they face during the process. Participants include 15 women, 18–22 years old, who graduated from an Islamic school in the mid-Atlantic region of America (ISA). Two phenomenological interviews were conducted with each participant. Data were analyzed using critical discourse and content analysis techniques. Findings point towards conflicts within, including those related to the rich racial and ethnic diversity in the community, and to the patriarchal norms that still prevail. Some of these norms along with the perceptions and experiences of American Muslim women guiding their lives will be shared, and will be located within a larger discussion on how the obstacles towards their contribution to this diverse social setting can be dealt with.

Volunteer at hackathon for high school and middle school students

Maryland high school and middle school students who are interested in computing will come to UMBC for an all-day hackathon in the UMBC Commons on Saturday, December 9. The organizers are recruiting UMBC students who would like to help with the hackathon between 9:30am and 6:30pm on the third floor of The Commons in rooms 318, 329, 331 and Skylight lounge..

The hackathon event is run by QuHacks with the support os the UMBC Computer Science Education Club.. QuHacks is an organization created by high school students to organize hackathons with the goal of providing friendly environment for computing education.

Hackathon volunteers will spend part of the day helping participants by answering questions and giving debugging guidance and advice.

Two student volunteers will be “on call” in each room, so should have time to work on their own projects or study for upcoming final exams.

This is a great opportunity if you are interested in computing education or just want to help young students learn about and get involved with computing.
