SUMMARY:Lewis Hine in Maryland — Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:The Albin O. Kuhn Library Gallery presents an Opening Reception for the exhibition Lewis Hine in Maryland\, on display from August 24 through December 18. The exhibition will be accompanied by Lisa Oppenheim/Lewis Hine: Spine/Verso. \nFrom 1908 to 1924\, documentary photographer Lewis Hine (American\, 1874–1940) traveled throughout the United States\, using his camera to document child labor on behalf of the National Child Labor Committee (NCLC). He photographed children working in coal mines\, cotton mills\, farms\, tenements\, and city streets. The NCLC used Hine’s photographs and eyewitness reports to support its campaigns for labor regulation and reform. His images appeared in pamphlets\, posters\, traveling exhibitions\, and lantern-slide presentations across the country. Ultimately\, these searing photographs helped shape labor legislation in the United States and established a model for documentary photography. \n\nLisa Oppenheim/Lewis Hine: Spine/Verso \nLewis Hine in Maryland is accompanied by an installation of two works from artist Lisa Oppenheim’s Spine series\, in which she appropriates images by Lewis Hine from the Library of Congress. Enlarged to life size\, the photographs depict the backs of adolescent textile workers whose bodies were curved and misshapen by their labor. Oppenheim has bifurcated each image along the vertical axis of the spine\, emphasizing the physical impact of repetitive work on the body. Lisa Oppenheim/Lewis Hine: Spine/Verso places Oppenheim’s works in dialogue with a selection of photographs from UMBC’s Lewis Hine Collection\, displayed with their versos — or backs — visible to viewers. \nIn 2023\, with support from a National Endowment for the Humanities Preservation Assistance Grant\, Special Collections staff undertook a major initiative to rehouse the Lewis Hine photographs and digitize their versos. The backs of the photographs bear captions\, annotations\, and inscriptions by Hine and others employed by the NCLC\, testifying to their use in the organization’s publications and promotional campaigns. Together\, these materials reveal the many forms of labor documented in Hine’s work and the ways that labor is imprinted upon — and remains legible within — the bodies of his subjects. \n \nImage: Lisa Oppenheim\, Correct posture for 4663. Need for advice of examining physician\, 2016. Dye sublimation print on aluminum\, 41 3/4 x 61 1/2 inches; 106 x 156.2 cm (overall). Courtesy the artist and Tanya Bonakdar Gallery\, New York. \n\nVisitor Information \nAdmission to the opening reception and to the exhibition is free. For driving directions and parking information\, please visit here. \n\nTop image: Lewis Wickes Hine\, Marie and Albert Kawalski. 615 S. Bond St.\, Baltimore\, Md.\, 1909.

SUMMARY:Social Sciences Forum — James Choi: How Much Should I Invest in the Stock Market?
DESCRIPTION:Social Sciences Forum lecture with James Choi\nHow Much Should I Invest in the Stock Market?\nThis annual Mullen Lecture is part of the Fall 2026 Social Sciences Forum \nIt is common to hear advice that you should invest 60% of your portfolio in stocks\, or 100 minus your age percent in stocks\, or all your long-term money in stocks. What does economics have to say about this matter? We will cover the basic approach economic theory takes\, some classic portfolio recommendations\, and new advances in how to adjust your investment allocation in light of the fact that most people’s biggest economic asset is their future wage income and Social Security benefits. \nJames Choi is Professor of Finance at the Yale School of Management. His primary research is in household finance and behavioral finance; his work on automatic enrollment has led to changes in pension plan design around the world. He has also published research on the effects of social identity and how to use psychology to increase preventive health behaviors. \nProfessor Choi is a two-time recipient of the TIAA Paul A. Samuelson Award for outstanding scholarly writing on lifelong financial security. He has served as a Co-Director of the Retirement and Disability Research Center at the National Bureau of Economic Research\, an Associate Editor at the Journal of Finance and Management Science\, and a member of the FINRA Investor Issues Committee and the American Finance Association’s Ethics and Governance Committees. He holds a PhD in economics and an AB in applied mathematics from Harvard University. \n\nAdmission is free. \n\nThis event is organized by the Department of Economics. \n

SUMMARY:Whistling Hens
DESCRIPTION:Showcasing two premieres and a narrative song cycle for soprano and clarinet\, the Whistling Hens duo shares stories about women\, by women. Haiku Journey (Jenni Brandon) encourages loving stewardship of our planet\, while Lingerie (Victoria Bond) bemoans frustrating aspects of women’s undergarments. The 17th Letter of the Living (Mojgan Misaghi) tells the story of Táhirih\, executed for unveiling herself in front of a council of men\, alongside Cradle Song and The Journals of Katherine Campbell\, chronicling the lives of women who changed the world through activism as artists\, healers\, and politicians. \n\nWhistling Hens® was founded by soprano Jennifer Piazza-Pick (Queens University of Charlotte) and clarinetist Natalie Groom (UMBC\, Towson University) to perform and commission music by women composers to create a financially and artistically equitable future for women in music. The duo’s name was plucked from a quote by a male music critic who wrote in the New York Times in 1918\, “women composers are at best whistling hens.” \nWhistling Hens has premiered 41 pieces and commissioned 16 compositions\, 10 transcriptions\, the Whistling Hens Women Composer Coloring Book\, and inspired 26 dedicated works. Whistling Hens has released two albums\, Big Crass Monster (2025) and Reacting to the Landscape (2022)\, presenting numerous world premiere recordings featuring many of their commissioned works. \n\nThis event is sponsored by UMBC’s Department of Music. \n\n$15 general admission\, $10 seniors\, $5 students. Tickets will be available in fall 2026. \n\nLinehan Concert Hall\, located in the Performing Arts and Humanities Building\, is easy to visit\, with plenty of free parking.

SUMMARY:Humanities Forum — Jodi A. Byrd: Indigenomicon: American Indians\, Video Games\, and the Structures of Dispossession
DESCRIPTION:Humanities Forum Lecture with Jodi A. Byrd\nIndigenomicon: American Indians\, Video Games\, and the Structures of Dispossession\nThis event is part of the Fall 2026 Humanities Forum \nSettler colonial studies and Indigenous studies are often assumed to be the same intellectual project. In Indigenomicon\, Jodi A. Byrd examines the differences between the two fields by bringing video game studies and Indigenous studies into conversation with Black studies\, queer studies\, and Indigenous feminist critique. Byrd theorizes “the image of the law of the Indigenous” as structuring dispossession in games including Assassin’s Creed\, Animal Crossing\, BioShock Infinite\, and Demon Souls. They demonstrate how games and play might reveal histories of slavery\, genocide\, and theft of Indigenous lands even as their structures obscure Indigenous spatial and embodied practices that prioritize relationships with land\, water\, plants\, and spirits. With ground and relationality defined as key concepts\, Byrd centers Indigenous visions of dystopias to reveal how game spaces encode settler structures of governance even as the design of games might yet provide vital modes of resistance to Indigenous erasure. \n\nJodi A. Byrd is a citizen of the Chickasaw Nation and professor of Race\, Diaspora\, and Indigeneity at the University of Chicago. Their research focuses on indigenous studies\, indigenous feminist and queer studies\, and video game studies. Their book The Transit of Empire: Indigenous Critiques of Colonialism (University of Minnesota Press) won the 2011 Best First Book of the Year award from the Native American and Indigenous Studies Association\, and the 2012 Wordcraft Circle Award for Academic Work of the Year. Byrd also co-edits the Northwestern University Press’ Critical Insurgencies series. Prior to joining the University of Chicago\, they were a Professor of Literatures in English at Cornell University. Byrd earned their PhD in English Literature from the University of Iowa in 2002. \n\nAdmission is free. \n\nThis Humanities Forum event\, presented by the Dresher Center for the Humanities\, is co-sponsored by the Department of American Studies and the Department of Media and Communication Studies. \n\nUMBC is committed to creating an accessible and inclusive environment for all faculty\, staff\, students\, and visitors. To request additional accessibility accommodations\, please contact us at least five business days in advance at dreshercenter@umbc.edu. \n

SUMMARY:Humanities Forum — Kim Bowes: The Economic Lives of Rome’s Ninety Percent
DESCRIPTION:Humanities Forum Lecture with Kim Bowes\nThe Economic Lives of Rome’s Ninety Percent\nThis Ancient Studies Week Lecture is part of the Fall 2026 Humanities Forum \nHow did the majority of Romans get by? What were their strategies for survival? This talk describes how the Roman world created a set of bitter challenges and opportunistic hustles for everyone from farmers and craftspeople to day laborers and slaves. Working people co-produced a consumer revolution\, making and buying everything from fine pottery to children’s toys. Many of the poorest working people lived with — but not on — wages. And Romans’ most daunting challenge was the struggle to save. These economies of survival were shared by a wide swath of people\, blurring the lines between genders\, ages\, and legal status. \n\nKim Bowes is BFC Presidential Professor of Classical Studies at the University of Pennsylvania. Author of Surviving Rome: The Economic Lives of the Ninety Percent (Princeton)\, her research and field projects address the economic lives of working people. Her work has been supported by the National Science Foundation\, the National Endowment for the Humanities\, and the Guggenheim Foundation. \n\nAdmission is free. \n\nThis annual lecture is organized by the Department of Ancient Studies and part of the Dresher Center’s Humanities Forum. \n\nUMBC is committed to creating an accessible and inclusive environment for all faculty\, staff\, students\, and visitors. To request additional accessibility accommodations\, please contact us at least five business days in advance at dreshercenter@umbc.edu. \n
