Doctors King (AMST) & Shewbridge (MCS) receive a major grant
from the Hrabowski Fund for Innovation!
Baltimore Stories: Emerging Media Across the Curriculum – A team led by Nicole King, Associate Professor, American Studies, and Bill Shewbridge, Professor of the Practice, Media and Communication Studies, will help students develop interview and production skills with creative storytelling through a unique collaboration between UMBC and a Baltimore-based nonprofit, the Center for Emerging Media (CEM). The interdisciplinary courses will guide students in place-based cultural and historical examinations of Baltimore’s residents and neighborhoods to explore the productive linkages and gaps between different disciplines. Involvement in the courses will give students experience in applied learning and civic engagement, while developing professional portfolios for work.
