Montia Gardner obtains Executive Position at Minnesota NGO
Montia Gardner (Cohort 19) has been selected for the position of Vice President of Education for the Northside Achievement Zone in Minneapolis, Minnesota. NAZ is a non-profit organization with a mission to end generational poverty in North Minneapolis and Montia will lead their educational strategy. This position directly correlates with her dissertation on the role of organizational capital and its benefit to the cultivation of academic talent in low-SES communities and schools.

Besides her dissertation research, Montia's background has prepared her well for her new position. She holds a Masters in Education and has over 15 years of experience in K-12 and Higher Ed. In 2014 she founded the Math and Reading summer Enrichment Program and Building Our Brilliance: Workshop Series for Teachers to support academic achievement and intellectual advancement in her hometown of Gary, Indiana. For the past few years, she has been a research assistant and adjunct professor in UMBC's Department of Education.

Montia plans to defend her dissertation in May and move to Minneapolis in June.

Please join us in congratulating Montia on her new position!

Mullen Lecture: October 20th at 4:00pm
Social Sciences Forum/Mullen Lecture
October 20, 2020 from 4:00 to 5:30 pm

David Card, Class of 1950 Professor of Economics at the University of California, Berkeley and President-Elect of the American Economics Association.

In the U.S., universities traditionally have been viewed as engines of economic growth and essential for supporting upward mobility — both for individuals and the nation. However, across many decades, a persistent counter-narrative has cast doubt on their value. Recently, concerns about rising tuition, student debt, and job insecurity have bred a dystopian view of university education.
Economist David Card argues that this view ignores a mass of positive data. While profound challenges confront American higher education, universities still bring enormous economic benefits to individual students and to the nation. Empirical evidence shows that the economic rewards for a college degree are higher than ever. In addition, there are other benefits, such as better health, a longer life, and potentially more life satisfaction. Despite these benefits, the U.S. public education system has expanded very little, especially investment in public universities.

This international conference aims to map out current approaches to interculturality in teacher education and training around the world. The organisers are especially interested in critical perspectives.  For example, in relation to culture, Ogay & Edelmann (2016) call for ‘taking culture seriously’ – without throwing out the baby with the bathwater. Abdallah-Pretceille (2003) has coined the concept of culturality to indicate the need to work from an understanding of culture that is changeable and contextually-situated (see also Dervin, 2016).  Some perspectives have tried to do away with culturalism (culture as an explanation for all) and attempted to limit essentialism. There also seems to be a shared awareness of the danger of reinforcing ethnocentrism (believing that one’s group/culture is better than others) and “racism without race”.

The conference themes for this conference are:

Teaching the disciplines: How are we doing?

What is it we want students to know and understand from, or about, the disciplines we teach, at both the K—12 and university levels? What are the truths the different disciplines aspire to reveal—the big questions they ask and try to answer, the perfection they seek to attain? How well do K—12 and university teachers convey these truths or give students access to them?

Why don’t we read serious books anymore?

Should we care that so many students, and so many teachers, can’t or don’t want to read books—not just at the K—12 level, but in colleges and universities, too?

You can find information about the program and registration in the documents attached.
