Validating your Business Model CANCELLED!!
Workshop on Friday, April 15 cancelled
The upcoming workshop scheduled for April 15 has been unfortunately cancelled as Edmund Pendleton, the speaker, has been called out of town on business.
Validating your Business Model will be rescheduled for Fall 2016, so be sure to keep checking for event dates. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
As the semester comes to a close, our events are as well. Our last Workshop of the semester will be held in entreSpace on April 25 during free hour.
The biannual Entrepreneurship Panel will also be coming up, as will the Cangialosi Business Competition, both on April 20th.
Again, we apologize for any inconvenience but we hope to see you at one of our other events!

National Child Labor Committee Lantern Slides now online!
See the lives of working kids in the early 20th century
“That childhood is endowed with certain inherent and inalienable rights, among which are freedom from toil for daily bread; the right to play and to dream; the right to the normal sleep of the night season; the right to an education, that we may have equality of opportunity for developing all that there is in us of mind and heart.”
-- A. J. McKelway, Southern Secretary of the National Child Labor Committee (1913)
The International Labour Organisation defines child labor as “any work that deprives children of their childhood, their potential and their dignity, and that is harmful to physical and mental development”. In the United States, children have been forced to work in mines and industrial factories, where their health and safety were jeopardized. While it may seem unthinkable to us now, the expanding economy of the 19th and 20th centuries demanded cheap labor. It wasn’t until the early 1900s that things began to change.
The National Child Labor Committee (NCLC) was established in 1904 with the intent to promote the well-being of children and young adults in the workforce. The NCLC opposed the employment of underage workers in dangerous jobs with unhealthy conditions, particularly in mines and factories or completing manual labor, which often led to health concerns such as tuberculosis and broken bones. Children became unhealthy or poor adults, because the cycle of work and sleep left little or no time for education or play.
In order to bring their concerns to the public’s attention, the NCLC made extensive use of photography. They hired photographers to document child labor, including the working conditions and the children themselves. Exhibitions of these photographs circulated around the United States, dragging the seedy underworld of child labor into the spotlight.
One
of the photographers hired by the NCLC was Lewis Hine, a self-styled social
photographer who traveled around the country documenting working children.
He used his craft to expose detrimental social conditions and to spur
change. These photographs, and those of other NCLC photographers, also brought
about new ideas concerning childhood, including the belief that it is something
to be cherished and that play should be encouraged. A collection of NCLC
photographs printed on glass lantern slides, can be viewed at UMBC’s Special
Collections, including many by Lewis Hine.
With the aid of these photographs, the NCLC was able to sway public opinion on child labor. Children under the age of sixteen were prohibited from working dangerous jobs, and children under fourteen we prohibited from working at all. Work permits providing proof of age became mandatory. By the 1930s, child labor finally began to disappear altogether with the invention of machines that could replace small hands in the workplace.
Special Collections is open to anyone with a photo ID, M-W 1-4, Th 1-8, and F 1-4. Appointments available Monday - Friday from 9:00am - 4:30pm. Contact: 410.455.2353 |
speccoll@umbc.edu
Intercession, Summer Term, and Winter Term open by appointment only.
This post was written by Rebecca Borland, who as an intern in Special Collections in spring 2015 scanned the glass lantern slides, created preliminary metadata, and produced contextual and promotional information for the collection. Thanks, Becca!

Closing Soon: Dresher Center Faculty Fellowships
Applications for 2017 Residential Fellowships due on May 1st
Dresher Center Faculty Research Fellowship applications for spring 2017 are due by May 1, 2016.
The Dresher Center for the Humanities invites applications for two Residential Faculty Research Fellowships for spring 2017. Funding is intended to support and promote significant humanities research at UMBC. Dresher Center Research Fellows will reside at least one day a week in the Dresher Center and receive release from teaching (up to two course releases) in order to work on a significant humanities research project or the training necessary to embark on such a project. Faculty wishing to develop expertise in a new field or discipline towards a future project are also encouraged to apply. Each fellow will have the use of a private office in the Dresher Center and will be awarded $500 to hire an undergraduate research assistant (junior or senior) for the semester.
All full-time, tenured and tenure-track faculty members pursuing humanities research in the College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences are welcome to submit a proposal. Applications are especially encouraged from, but not limited to, full-time faculty with appointments in departments and programs with a humanities focus. Two fellowships are available. Proposals will be reviewed by the Dresher Center Advisory Board, with decisions by mid-July 2016.

Participants will explore questions about equity, identity, immigration, and belonging and discuss how residents' experiences are shaped in and through their neighborhoods. After the conversation, participants can also learn how to use digital storytelling as a way to record and disseminate their voices.
