Cynthia Matuszek, CSEE, Co-Authors Study on Google Image Searches, Professions, and Gender Cynthia Matuszek, computer science and electrical engineering, co-authored a study that found that Google image search results underrepresent female professionals, use stereotypes, and influence gender bias. Matuszek recently came to UMBC from the University of Washington, where her coauthors are based. The researchers analyzed top Google image search results for over 40 professions and found that women were underrepresented when compared to data from the Bureau of Labor statistics. They also found that the image results affected perceptions of female representation in those occupations. “It’s part of a cycle: How people perceive things affects the search results, which affect how … ]]> Cynthia Matuszek, computer science and electrical engineering, co-authored a study that found that Google image search results underrepresent female professionals, use stereotypes, and influence... https://news.umbc.edu/cynthia-matuszek-csee-co-authors-study-on-google-images-influence-on-gender/ https://my3.my.umbc.edu/api/v0/pixel/news/109203/guest@my.umbc.edu/393bde24d13e0e09c267387223e64614/api/pixel csee science-and-technology UMBC News https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/umbc-news https://assets2-my.umbc.edu/system/shared/avatars/groups/000/001/944/2c79aeea85b1abb37f8cf9fbcdc382b0/xsmall.png?1632921809 https://assets4-my.umbc.edu/system/shared/avatars/groups/000/001/944/2c79aeea85b1abb37f8cf9fbcdc382b0/original.png?1632921809 https://assets4-my.umbc.edu/system/shared/avatars/groups/000/001/944/2c79aeea85b1abb37f8cf9fbcdc382b0/xxlarge.png?1632921809 https://assets1-my.umbc.edu/system/shared/avatars/groups/000/001/944/2c79aeea85b1abb37f8cf9fbcdc382b0/xlarge.png?1632921809 https://assets1-my.umbc.edu/system/shared/avatars/groups/000/001/944/2c79aeea85b1abb37f8cf9fbcdc382b0/large.png?1632921809 https://assets1-my.umbc.edu/system/shared/avatars/groups/000/001/944/2c79aeea85b1abb37f8cf9fbcdc382b0/medium.png?1632921809 https://assets4-my.umbc.edu/system/shared/avatars/groups/000/001/944/2c79aeea85b1abb37f8cf9fbcdc382b0/small.png?1632921809 https://assets2-my.umbc.edu/system/shared/avatars/groups/000/001/944/2c79aeea85b1abb37f8cf9fbcdc382b0/xsmall.png?1632921809 https://assets4-my.umbc.edu/system/shared/avatars/groups/000/001/944/2c79aeea85b1abb37f8cf9fbcdc382b0/xxsmall.png?1632921809 UMBC News 0 0 false Tue, 14 Apr 2015 16:43:04 -0400 Special Collections Staff Picks! Overwhelmed or intimidated by S.C.? Here's a starting point
This series was conceived by Special Collections student assistant Audrey Gatewood.  She also wrote this first post.  Check out Audrey's picks!

There are so many great resources in our collections, we understand it can be overwhelming. We, the staff, want to give you, the intrigued student, a place to start. Here you will find recommendations for some of the materials that are housed in Special Collections, such as photo books, comics, alternative press, art books and more.

Our collections are more accessible then you may think. Located in the back of the Library Gallery, we are ready to help you find whatever you’re looking for. By sharing some of our favorite materials we hope that this blog can be the beginning of your exploration into the excellent resources we have here.

See you in the reading room!

Two of Audrey's picks from the Bafford Photography Book collection:

THE CENTURY OF THE BODY: 100 PHOTOWORKS OF 1900-2000

The Century of the Body: 100 Photoworks 1900-2000 is a thorough yet concise look at the history of representations of the human body in photography.

                    

(Images: Left: Edward Weston, Page 110; Right: Don McCullin, Page 142)

Spanning one hundred years, this book is a wealth of information that's formatted in a user friendly way. Each photo has a respective paragraph describing its background, both related to the photo specifically and in a broader sense. Many subjects are tied into this book, including science, fine art, technology, media and sociology. This book is especially useful for anyone who wants to learn about the history of photography in relation to other things, but with a core focus on the representation of the body.

BOYSTOWN: LA ZONA DE TOLERANCIA

Warning: Graphic Content

In the 1970's along the border between Texas and Mexico was Boystown, a collection of brothels and clubs. It was a public secret shielded by the dark of night. Men of every sort -- gang members, tourists, doctors, cowboys -- would come to engage with the sex workers. Working in the shadows of Boystown were several anonymous photographers, about seven, who sought out quick money by providing souvenir photos. They would approach the drunken men, photograph them with the woman they were pursuing, and pocket two dollars in exchange for a print. Though their intent was shallow, these photographers incidentally created a truly intense body of work.

The photos presented in this book are merciless, captured without pretense. In an unforgiving act of voyeurism, the facade of Boystown, built up by darkness, alcohol and flashy makeup, is accidentally destroyed within these mementos, which were most likely torn up and tossed the next day by the men who bought them.

           

Thanks for your picks, Audrey! 

Stay tuned for more staff packs from Special Collections!

If you would like to attend, please contact Shelbi Tippett at stippett1@umbc.edu, she will be organizing the carpool!

Each year, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, Baltimore Section
sponsors the Straw Bridge Competition for middle schools as part of the
Engineering Challenges® competition that are organized and hosted by The
Baltimore Museum of Industry.

What does it take to make a bridge? The Strawbridge Challenge is designed
to let teams of two to four middle school students learn some of the finer
points of building a bridge that will allow a 1/64th scale truck loaded
with 6.5 pounds of lead to travel over a bridge that spans a gap 20 inches
wide. The students are allowed to use only plastic soda straws, hot melt
glue and tabs of plastic to build their bridge. This, along with a
simulated road surface, must hold the truck for one minute.

The competition will be held at The Baltimore Museum of Industry
1415 Key Highway Baltimore 21230
On Saturday, April 25 2015, from 9am-2pm

We are looking for volunteers to help with this year’s event. Volunteers
with both technical and non technical backgrounds are needed for such jobs
as performance testing, paper reading and static judging as well as
assisting teams through the event and general crowd control.
