7:00 PM - 9:00 PM	Loretta Ross: Reproductive Justice in the Age of Trump Location: Claire T. Carney Library, Stoico/FIRST FED Charitable Foundation Grand Reading Room Contact: Center for Women, Gender & Sexuality Description: Loretta Ross is a founder of the SisterSong Women of Color Reproductive Health Collective, a network created in 1997 consisting of 80 women of color and allied organizations that work on reproductive justice issues. The election of Donald Trump has brought to light many undercurrents of injustice simmering below the surface of American life. Perhaps the most blatant is the attacks on the bodies of women and children through their perverted views normalizing sexual assault and pedophilia. Reproductive justice activists have long warned about the need to broaden the movement protecting abortion rights into a human rights movement that uses intersectionality to bring together people dedicated to fighting white supremacy, homophobia, gender oppression, transphobia, hatred of immigrants, and attacks on Indigenous people. This presentation will provide an analysis of reproductive justice, analyze the different strands of the white supremacist movement, and offer a vision of how to build a human rights movement centered on justice in the United States.

3:30 PM - 4:30 PM	Department of Fisheries Oceanography/SMAST seminar - March 29, 2017 - Diego Bernal Location: Fairhaven Campus Contact: > See Description for contact information Description: Department of Fisheries Oceanography Stressed out sharks: What are the consequences of being captured? Diego Bernal Biology Department / UMD Wednesday, March 29, 2017 3:30 pm - 4:30 pm SMAST II, Room 157 200 Mill Road, Fairhaven, MA ABSTRACT: Research on fishing-related stress indicates that the post-release survival of sharks captured with commercial longline (both pelagic and demersal) and purse seine, and with recreational gear may be impaired due to significant physiological disruptions related to the capture event. The magnitude of the stress response in sharks is both species-specific and gear-specific, but there is growing evidence that there is a direct correlation between time on the line (i.e., degree of struggle) and post-release mortality. Recent work using shark blood taken at the time of capture shows that the values for some ions and metabolites significantly change with time-on-the-line and are elevated when compared to values taken from relatively unstressed specimens during captive studies. There is increasing evidence that the level of several stress markers measured in the blood of sharks at the time of capture may be indicative of whole-animal physiological condition and may be used as predictors of post-release mortality. However, these relationships are complex and each shark species presents a unique suite of capture-related physiological stress response. For these reasons, there is a critical need for the assessment of species-specific physiological responses to capture stress with the aim of decreasing the impacts of any fishery interaction and aiding in more sustainable fisheries.
