About WAGs: WAGs are small, voluntary groups of graduate students (3-8 participants) who commit to writing regularly by setting goals and holding each other accountable. These groups meet weekly for 10-12 weeks, either in person or online, to track progress and develop sustainable writing habits. The kickoff meeting will introduce WAGs, provide guidance on setting up a group, and offer resources to help participants succeed. 

RSVP: To help us plan accordingly, we encourage attendees to RSVP using the following link: WAG Sign up Form Spring 2025

The Global Asias Initiative at UMBC is now offering the third round of its student research fellowship in Global Asias in the amount of $500 where students will work with faculty and community partners on an independent study in the field for a period of one semester. We’re currently accepting applications for projects taking place in Fall 2025.

The fellowship supports a research project supervised by a UMBC faculty member working in the field of Global Asias. The project should explore a topic in the field of Global Asias: broadly construed to include Asian American studies, Asian studies, or Asian diaspora studies in global context. The exact parameters (length, format, etc) will be set by your faculty advisor. Depending on your major and your academic and professional plans, your project may consist of a scholarly research project or a creative product with a significant research component. At the end of the year, students will submit the final project to their faculty advisor and may be asked to do a brief presentation on their topic to fellow students and faculty in Global Asias. We highly encourage proposals for projects that use methods, ideas, and approaches from more than one discipline. We also encourage students to consider working with a community partner, or incorporating a public-facing component into their work.

The proposed project should be humanities research. Broadly speaking, the “humanities” means the study of human society and culture. Humanities majors or minors typically include but are not limited to: Africana Studies; American Studies; Anthropology; Art and Art History; Asian and Asian American Studies; English; History; Human Rights; Journalism; Latinx Studies; Media and Communication Studies, Philosophy; Sociology; Gender, Women’s, and Sexuality Studies.

Fellowship applicants should be rising sophomores, rising juniors, or Master’s students in good academic standing.

Payment Disbursement: Payment will be distributed to the student as a stipend in two $250 amounts at the beginning and the end of the semester

If selected, students will have to complete a short onboarding process

If students are not already employed by system, they will also have to fill out an I-9
