For this research\, Beauregard worked with faculty mentor Tobias Hrynick\, Lecturer in the Honors College. Beauregard’s Fellowship is supported by the Liam Riordan Humanities Fellowship Fund. \n\nInfo: \nAbenaki groups lived in the area we call Bath\, Maine for thousands of years\, and the land and rivers continue to be their homeland. Despite this\, out of the 34 historical markers currently on display around Bath\, only one mentions the Abenaki\, and it is only to explain the context for European colonial settlers. To counter this\, a project began to research and design four new historical markers that focus solely on the Abenaki. Through this public history project\, connections were established with the W8banakiak\, Bath Historical Society\, and Bath City Hall. While this project remains in its early stages\, the ground has been set for new historical markers to be designed in collaboration with the W8banakiak and erected around the city of Bath. This presentation discusses how the goals of this project changed along its course\, and what the process has looked like thus far. It will then dive into what the future of this project looks like\, including the collaboration involved and the steps that will be taken to ensure these new historical markers are installed to create a fuller and more accurate picture of the history of Bath\, Maine.\n\n\nFor more details\, email mhc@maine.edu URL:/mhc/event/emma-beauregard-creating-w8banakiak-historical-markers-for-bath-maine/ LOCATION:IMRC 104 – The Fernald Adaptive Presentation & Performance Environment\, IMRC Center\, 5 Hilltop Road\, Orono\, ME\, United States END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260415T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260415T183000 DTSTAMP:20260520T084030 CREATED:20260330T204648Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260330T204648Z UID:9338-1776272400-1776277800@umaine.edu SUMMARY:Thomas Gao - ADHD and the Lived Experience: A Phenomenological Inquiry of the Mental Disorder DESCRIPTION:ADHD and the Lived Experience: A Phenomenological Inquiry of the Mental Disorder\na presentation by MHC Undergraduate Fellow Thomas Gao\n\nWednesday\, April 15\, 2026\n5:00 PM\nIMRC Center 104\nFernald Adaptive Presentation and Performance Environment\nUniversity of Maine\, Orono\, ME\n\nThomas Gao is a Psychology major whose project ADHD and the Lived Experience: A Phenomenological Inquiry of the Mental Disorder explores Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) through the perspective of phenomenology to provide a new framework to understanding ADHD beyond its classification in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. For this research\, Gao worked with faculty mentor Susan Bredlau\, Assistant Professor of Philosophy. Gao’s Fellowship is supported by the Sandra Merrill Peters and John G. Peters Humanities Fellowship Fund. \n\nInfo: \nPhenomenology is a philosophical study that focuses on the human experiences and consciousness. It seeks to understand the world as how it appears to the individual\, emphasizing subjective perception over the idea of an “objective reality.” By investigating Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) through a phenomenological perspective\, integrating personal\, historical accounts and academic sources\, this presentation will explore how we can better understand its classification as a neurodevelopmental disorder\, as well as bridge the disconnect between the symptom-first diagnostic approach that we currently employ and the patients’ subjective experiences.\n\n\nFor more details\, email mhc@maine.edu URL:/mhc/event/thomas-gao-adhd-and-the-lived-experience-a-phenomenological-inquiry-of-the-mental-disorder/ LOCATION:IMRC 104 – The Fernald Adaptive Presentation & Performance Environment\, IMRC Center\, 5 Hilltop Road\, Orono\, ME\, United States END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260416T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260416T190000 DTSTAMP:20260520T084030 CREATED:20260406T190731Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260406T190731Z UID:9361-1776358800-1776366000@umaine.edu SUMMARY:A Celebration of Print DESCRIPTION:A Celebration of Print\nwith Chebacco: The Journal of the Mount Desert Island Historical Society\, Polis Poesia: Revista Urbano Poética\, Rustica Journal\, and Spire: The Maine Journal of Conservation and Sustainability\n\nThursday\, April 16\, 2026\n\n\nRECEPTION – 5:00 PM\nEVENT – 5:30 PM\nIMRC Center 104\nFernald Adaptive Presentation and Performance Environment\nUniversity of Maine\, Orono\, ME\n\nThe McGillicuddy Humanities Center will celebrate the printed word with four Maine publications\, the literary magazine Polis Poesía; 91’s journal of conservation and sustainability\, Spire; the Farmington-based literary magazine Rustica; and the journal of the Mount Desert Island Historical Society\, Chebacco.
