SUMMARY:Interdisciplinary CoLab Open House
DESCRIPTION:Event Recording \nThe ability to work effectively in a team is a valuable skill for students of all majors. UMBC’s Interdisciplinary CoLab internship program brings together interdisciplinary teams of students and faculty to collaborate on relevant real-world projects during the summer session. Students from all majors learn from each other\, while gaining practical skills in narrative research\, technology\, and digital storytelling. \nJoin Summer 2022 participants as they present their projects and discuss their collaborative experiences. This year\, teams worked with Baltimore City’s Great Kids Farm to update their elementary school healthy eating program and develop social media marketing and videos for the Farm. One team produced a digital story and finding-aid for the Mid-Atlantic Regional Moving Images Archive (MARMIA). And another team created a website about an East Baltimore neighborhood’s past using oral histories held in UMBC’s Special Collections. \nFind out how this narrative-based research and digital story-telling program promotes interdisciplinary learning\, develops valuable collaboration skills\, and creates meaningful final products for the campus and greater Baltimore community. \nSpeakers include: Kate Drabinski\, Maria Yiannouris\, Daniela Romo\, Jennie Hardman\, Theo Reinert\, Sophia Wahl\, and Fej Torres. \n

SUMMARY:Learning from 12\,000 Years of Land Use: How to Shape a Better Future for Life on Earth
DESCRIPTION:Event Recording \nFeatured in the Smithsonian Magazine as a top discovery of 2021\, UMBC’s Erle Ellis along with an interdisciplinary research team that most notably includes scholars of Indigenous knowledge have found that humans have been shaping the earth for much longer than previously thought. The global maps created by this team shows that even 12\,000 years ago\, nearly three-quarters of earth’s land was inhabited\, used\, and shaped by people and areas untouched by people were almost as rare 12\,000 years ago as they are today. \nThe current biodiversity crisis is often depicted as a struggle to preserve untouched habitats\, but global land use history confirms that empowering Indigenous peoples and local communities is critical to conserve biodiversity across the planet. \nBio: Erle Ellis’ research investigates the ecology of human-managed ecosystems at local and global scales towards the goal of informing sustainable stewardship of the biosphere in the Anthropocene. His current work focuses on human transformation and sustainable stewardship of the biosphere. Past projects have developed tools for global synthesis of local knowledge\, inexpensive tools for measuring and managing ecological change across anthropogenic landscapes\, and long-term ecological changes across China’s village landscapes. He teaches courses in environmental science and landscape ecology at UMBC. \n
