The Dresher Center for the Humanities is pleased to announce a new director for the Humanities Scholars program.

Dr. Kate Drabinski is Principal Lecturer in Gender, Women's, + Sexuality Studies (GWST) and Associate Director of the Women Involved in Learning and Leadership (WILL+) program. Her focus areas of teaching and research include queer theory, transgender studies, LGBTQ+ history, and public humanities pedagogies and practices. As co-PI with Dr. Carole McCann on the Mellon-funded Affirming Multivocal Humanities grant, she organizes the UMBC LGBTQ+ Oral History Project, bringing students into conversation with queer people both on and off campus to record and preserve the histories of our communities. Her latest publication is Baltimore Revisited: Stories of Inequality and Resistance in a U.S. City, co-edited with UMBC's own Dr. Nicole King and Dr. Joshua Davis of the University of Baltimore. 

Outside of UMBC Dr. Kate is an avid explorer of Baltimore's history, present, and future, usually on her much-loved bicycle. She leads walking tours about the city's LGBTQ+ and Civil Rights histories for Baltimore Heritage, where she serves on the Board. She organizes walking tours for students, faculty, and staff about the history of Pratt Street, public transportation, urban renewal, and more. She is keenly interested in why where we are is as it is, and how it might be otherwise.

Dr. Kate is excited to direct the Humanities Scholars program after serving on the committee for nearly a decade and teaching the freshman seminar several times. She was part of a similar program at her undergraduate institution and knows intimately the power of cohort-based interdisciplinary humanities teaching and research for making more interesting, meaningful, and impactful lives for all of us. She looks forward to working with students, faculty, and staff to continue building UMBC's vibrant humanities community.

UMBC, along with 17 other libraries across the University System of Maryland and Affiliated Institutions (USMAI), implemented a new OneSearch library discovery system called Primo. This system migration is a huge step forward to modernize the Library’s current functionality and usability, increasing cooperation with other systems across our campus and with other academic institutions across the state. Since it went live in May 2024, the Library has worked diligently to learn this new system to better assist faculty, students, and staff. 

Primo now powers the AOK OneSearch, the Library’s main search bar on the home page, streamlining search functions within UMBC’s resources, USMAI’s availability, and beyond. You will notice more features that will allow you to easily manage your loans, requests, and fines/fees. We encourage all UMBC community members to familiarize themselves with this new, exciting system by visiting library.umbc.edu to get started with a search!

Throughout the Fall 2024 semester, UMBC subject librarians will facilitate workshops (virtual and hybrid) on navigating Primo. Please visit our Events page to register for upcoming workshops. 

Check out our guide on the OneSearch here.

The Dresher Center is pleased to announce our new director, Professor Amy Froide.

Amy M. Froide is Professor of History and the former Chair of the History Department at UMBC. Her areas of expertise include the history of early modern Britain, European women’s history, and financial history. She is the author of Silent Partners: Women as Public Investors during Britain’s Financial Revolution, 1690-1750 (Oxford University Press, 2016). Her other books include Never Married: Singlewomen in Early Modern England (Oxford University Press, 2005) and Singlewomen in the European Past, 1250-1800 (University of Pennsylvania Press, 1999), co-edited with Judith M. Bennett. She is currently working on a book about a financial scandal in eighteenth-century London as well as a project on wives who separated from their husbands in early modern Britain. She continues to study female entrepreneurs, including speculators in European mining projects. Her research has been funded by fellowships from the Folger Shakespeare Library, the Henry H. Huntington Library, the Rockefeller Foundation, and the British Academy.

Professor Froide has a long standing interest in interdisciplinary teaching and research. She is the founding Director of UMBC’s Entrepreneurship & Innovation Minor and she holds affiliate appointments in UMBC’s Gender, Women’s + Sexuality Studies and Language, Literacy, and Culture Ph.D. programs. She regularly mentors Master’s degree students in both early modern British and European women’s history. Former students have gone on to Ph.D. programs in the U.S. and the U.K. and three are currently professors. In addition to her research and administrative work, Prof. Froide was the recipient of the 2018 Maryland Board of Regents’ Award for Teaching Excellence and is currently UMBC’s Presidential Teaching Professor for 2024-27. She regularly shares her Humanities research with a general audience through articles in The Conversation, podcasts, lectures with Profs & Pints, and pre-show theatre talks.

Prof. Froide looks forward to continuing the excellent work of outgoing Director Jessica Berman who has made the Dresher Center a hub of scholarly exchange and intellectual community. In addition to supporting faculty and graduate student research in the Humanities, Prof. Froide plans to promote work in new interdisciplinary fields such as Environmental and Public Health humanities, more broadly share out the innovative Humanities research being done by UMBC’s faculty, and advocate for the significance of Humanities disciplines at Public Research Universities.
