Looking for a dose of inspiration to start your week? No need to look any further. Each week, we curate talks on topics that matter NOW for all of us related to resilience, self-care, dealing with uncertain times, as well as ways to stay connected, inspired, and grounded when the earth beneath us is shifting.

Today's talk is How racial bias works - and how to disrupt it by Jennifer L. Eberhardt.  Our brains create categories to make sense of the world, recognize patterns and make quick decisions. But this ability to categorize also exacts a heavy toll in the form of unconscious bias. In this powerful talk, psychologist Jennifer L. Eberhardt explores how our biases unfairly target Black people at all levels of society -- from schools and social media to policing and criminal justice -- and discusses how creating points of friction can help us actively interrupt and address this troubling problem.

After you watch, we invite you to reflect on the following:
  • What resonated for you in the video?
  • What lived experiences do you have, either personally or professionally that align with the core message of the talk?
  •  As you think of your role as a student, employee, or manager what feels relevant and useful to remember?
  • What are you taking away that feels meaningful - either a new perspective, a potential action, etc.
  • How might we take better care of ourselves and each other during this time?
If you're a supervisor, consider using this talk for team building purposes! You might send the video ahead of your meeting with several reflection questions on which you'd like your staff to come prepared to speak.

We will begin our retrospect of Maurice Berger’s Race Stories and reflection on black history and our current political and social climate by featuring, “Capturing the Struggle for Racial Equality, Past and Present.” This article looks at works from Black American photographer, Sheila Pree Bright’s book “#1960Now” that served as a reminder that activism and the struggle for racial equality in the United States has existed throughout all of American history and is ongoing. Bright uses the medium of black and white photography to “[underscore] this historical continuity” and contribute to the scores of legendary civil rights photographs that testify to racial violence and injustice in America.

(from left to right: Daniel Pesca, Janice Jackson, Jarl Hulbert, and Alethia Starke)

The Department of Music announces the receipt of a Charlesmead award (in the amount of $33,725) to fund a new, multi-year collaboration with two community partners in Baltimore City: The Carter School of Music at New Shiloh Baptist Church and the William Knabe Piano Institute. Spearheaded by faculty members Janice Jackson and Daniel Pesca and department chair Linda Dusman, in collaboration with Mrs. Alethia B. Starke, Executive Director of The Carter School, and Dr. Jarl Hulbert, President of the William Knabe Piano Institute, this partnership will fully fund the musical education of ten students, ages 8–14, from the Sandtown-Winchester neighborhood of Baltimore. Classes will take place at The Carter School, which the Charlesmead jurors characterized as a “a key community and spiritual hub.” Exchange between the campuses will run both ways: students in the Music Department at UMBC will have the opportunity to observe teaching, and Carter students will regularly attend concerts and receptions at UMBC. In the summers, Carter students will participate in a Summer Enrichment Academy (SEA) on campus, which will run concurrently with the Knabe Piano Institute and Piano Competition. “The summer activities of the Knabe Institute attract pianists from around the globe,” says Dr. Pesca, “so we are conceiving this week of activities in the summer as a big celebration that brings together Carter students, UMBC students and faculty, and international pianists in our beautiful facilities on campus.”

Greetings Psi Chi! 

We hope you are having a restful and relaxing summer! UMBC’s UNICEF Club recently reached out to us to see if we wanted to collaborate with them to support the children impacted by the crisis in Yemen, the world’s worst humanitarian crisis. We said yes, of course! Their goal is to reach $2000 and so far, they have raised over $1100! I think we can help them reach their goal and support this incredibly worthy cause. They will also be giving away a raffle basket filled with goodies (UNICEF t-shirt, pins, stickers, candles, etc.). The more you donate, the higher your chance of winning!  Donations are due June 29th.

As mentioned above, donations are due June 29th! You can send your donations to UMBC’s UNICEF club via Venmo (@UMBC-UNICEF) or PayPal (sahmahate@gmail.com). As Celena Dang, UMBC UNICEF’s President so beautifully put it, “UMBC is such a kind and giving community, so let's continue to pay it forward.” For more information, feel free to check out their latest posts on Instagram (@umbcunicef).

P.S. – Stay tuned for more information on this upcoming fall! Our E-Board is working hard to plan at the moment and will be in touch sometime in August with information on the upcoming semester!


Stay safe and healthy!!
