Curator's Statement This exhibition showcases the abolitionist neighborhood near the New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park. This neighborhood, which was the home of many African Americans, white and black abolitionists, and former slaves, provides a lens with which one may study interracial aspects of American cities. Massachusetts abolished slavery in 1783, more than 80 years before the Thirteenth Amendment. However, federal law supporting slave owners superseded this law and there were cases of slaves being “reclaimed” from Massachusetts in the years that followed. A strong network of abolitionists, both black and white, gave New Bedford its claim to fame that no slave was ever forcibly “reclaimed” from it. New Bedford’s architecture reflects a period of relative racial equality and tolerance in “the City that lit the world” during its whaling boom. This neighborhood includes a mixture of Gothic Revival, Federal, Greek Revival, and early Italian homes, as well as modest cottages. Important historical figures, such as Fredrick Douglass and Lewis Temple, resided in these homes. In recent years, we have seen a growing body of literature on race and architecture. However, this scholarship has focused mostly on the negative side of such built environments, lacking an in-depth exploration of the form and function of interracial neighborhoods. This exhibition celebrates the aesthetics and architectonics of New Bedford’s Abolition Row where many former slaves lived side-by-side with the rest of the population and engaged multiple aspects of the City’s interracial architecture. Through this exhibition, local New Bedford experts along with students and faculty from UMass Dartmouth reveal a lesser-known progressive interracial neighborhood in the United States. Support Black Spaces Matter is supported by New Bedford Historical Society, Creative Economy Fund from the Office of the UMass President, UMass Dartmouth Provost Office, Perkins + Will Associates, Rotch–Jones–Duff House and Garden Museum, and Spinner Publications.

  • Description: Please join us on Tuesday, November 13, 2018 from 3:30pm- 5:00pm for the film screening of Faat Kine (2000)- a Senegalese film written and directed by Ousmane Sembene. In the film a forty-year-old woman refuses to give in to the stigma of unwed motherhood and climbs the ladder of success in a male-dominated field. In subtitles, the film provides a critical look at modern, post-colonial Senegal and the place of women in the society. It gives a clear glimpse into life of the Senegalaise middle-class and presents present-day Dakar in all of its contradictions of poverty and wealth, tradition and modernity. The film is sponsored by the Black Studies Program and the Frederick Douglass Unity House. Free admission; all are welcome. Light refreshments available. For more information, please contact the Frederick Douglass Unity House at (508) 999-9222.

  • DFO seminar - November 14, 2018 - Jake Kritzer
  • Location: New Bedford , New Bedford, MA
  • Contact: > See Description for contact information
  • Description: Department of Fisheries Oceanography Advancing Multispecies Fishery Management in China: Lessons from international experience Jake Kritzer Environmental Defense Fund Wednesday, November 14, 2018 2:30 pm - 3:30 pm SMAST-E rm. 101/102 836 South Rodney French Boulevard, New Bedford, MA Abstract: Environmental sustainability has risen as a national policy priority in China under the 13th Five-Year Plan and other influential policy instruments. In the fisheries sector, the Ministry of Agriculture announced sweeping reforms, including a mandate to adopt output controls. This is a considerable challenge in China given limitations in stock assessment, monitoring, enforcement, and other core functions. Moreover, catch in Chinese fisheries is characterized by full retention and high species diversity, exacerbating the challenges. We synthesize lessons learned from 13 case studies of multispecies fishery management systems that were presented at an international workshop to inform development of new approaches in China. The case studies illustrate four general management models defined by whether the underlying scientific model and resultant harvest controls have single-species or multispecies resolution. The case studies suggest an evolution from simple multispecies models, typically aggregate catch, CPUE, or survey data, with harvest controls applied to multispecies complexes, toward more complex single-species or multispecies models used to develop harvest controls targeted at individual species. This evolution often results from increases in the value of certain stocks, and scientific improvements that reveal conservation concerns. However, management will not necessarily move through the entire sequence of approaches for all stocks depending upon the economic, ecological, scientific, and policy conditions, and a fishery can include different strategies for different stocks. The transition from aggregate to species-specific harvest controls often involves trading ecological risks associated with the former for economic costs associated with the latter. Finally, we illustrate how Cuba is using Productivity-Susceptibility Analysis to determine the most appropriate management strategy for each stock as a model China might choose to follow, highlighting that high diversity fisheries should adopt a portfolio of approaches based on objectives, capacity, and risk.

Lecture: Thurs, Dec 13, 6-8PM New Bedford Historical Society presents: Digging History with Craig Chartier, archeologist who conducted the dig at the Abolition Row Park site. Curator's Statement This exhibition showcases the abolitionist neighborhood near the New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park. This neighborhood, which was the home of many African Americans, white and black abolitionists, and former slaves, provides a lens with which one may study interracial aspects of American cities. Massachusetts abolished slavery in 1783, more than 80 years before the Thirteenth Amendment. However, federal law supporting slave owners superseded this law and there were cases of slaves being “reclaimed” from Massachusetts in the years that followed. A strong network of abolitionists, both black and white, gave New Bedford its claim to fame that no slave was ever forcibly “reclaimed” from it. New Bedford’s architecture reflects a period of relative racial equality and tolerance in “the City that lit the world” during its whaling boom. This neighborhood includes a mixture of Gothic Revival, Federal, Greek Revival, and early Italian homes, as well as modest cottages. Important historical figures, such as Fredrick Douglass and Lewis Temple, resided in these homes. In recent years, we have seen a growing body of literature on race and architecture. However, this scholarship has focused mostly on the negative side of such built environments, lacking an in-depth exploration of the form and function of interracial neighborhoods. This exhibition celebrates the aesthetics and architectonics of New Bedford’s Abolition Row where many former slaves lived side-by-side with the rest of the population and engaged multiple aspects of the City’s interracial architecture. Through this exhibition, local New Bedford experts along with students and faculty from UMass Dartmouth reveal a lesser-known progressive interracial neighborhood in the United States. Support Black Spaces Matter is supported by New Bedford Historical Society, Creative Economy Fund from the Office of the UMass President, UMass Dartmouth Provost Office, Perkins + Will Associates, Rotch–Jones–Duff House and Garden Museum, and Spinner Publications.

  • Description: The School for Marine Science and Technology Department of Estuarine and Ocean Sciences Seminar Announcement "Insights from dissolved gases: Biological productivity on the New England Shelf and Shelfbreak" Dr. Rachel Stanley Assistant Professor Wellesley College Wellesley, MA Wednesday, November 14, 2018 12:30 pm to 1:30 pm SMAST East Rooms 101/102 836 S. Rodney French Blvd, New Bedford Abstract: Coastal waters off New England provide an array of ecosystem services including fishing, shipping, and recreation. Additionally, coastal waters are disproportionately large (for their area) carbon sinks. In this talk, recent gas tracer data that quantifies gross primary production (GPP) and net community production (NCP) from three cruises in the New England Shelf are presented. NCP equals the rate of total photosynthesis minus community respiration and represents the net amount of carbon drawn down by the biological pump. GPP is the rate of total photosynthesis and thus reflects the amount of energy available at the base of the food chain. Taken together, these rates quantify carbon cycle efficiency and give an important window into carbon cycle dynamics. The gas tracers oxygen, argon and triple oxygen isotopes offer an exciting way of quantifying these rates since they yield in situ estimates of NCP and GPP with high spatial resolution. This talk will discuss results from two recent studies in the New England Shelf region. First, rates of NCP and GPP from the newly funded Northeastern Shelf (NES) Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) site will be presented. Summer vs. winter rates show shifts in magnitude and location of maximal productivity. Second, NCP and GPP data from a cruise dedicated to shelfbreak dynamics in which the shelfbreak was repeatedly crossed will be shown. Taken together, these recent results yield new glimpses of shelf dynamics. To access the live broadcasting, go to https://echo360.org/ and click on "Alternate login".

Curator's Statement This exhibition showcases the abolitionist neighborhood near the New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park. This neighborhood, which was the home of many African Americans, white and black abolitionists, and former slaves, provides a lens with which one may study interracial aspects of American cities. Massachusetts abolished slavery in 1783, more than 80 years before the Thirteenth Amendment. However, federal law supporting slave owners superseded this law and there were cases of slaves being “reclaimed” from Massachusetts in the years that followed. A strong network of abolitionists, both black and white, gave New Bedford its claim to fame that no slave was ever forcibly “reclaimed” from it. New Bedford’s architecture reflects a period of relative racial equality and tolerance in “the City that lit the world” during its whaling boom. This neighborhood includes a mixture of Gothic Revival, Federal, Greek Revival, and early Italian homes, as well as modest cottages. Important historical figures, such as Fredrick Douglass and Lewis Temple, resided in these homes. In recent years, we have seen a growing body of literature on race and architecture. However, this scholarship has focused mostly on the negative side of such built environments, lacking an in-depth exploration of the form and function of interracial neighborhoods. This exhibition celebrates the aesthetics and architectonics of New Bedford’s Abolition Row where many former slaves lived side-by-side with the rest of the population and engaged multiple aspects of the City’s interracial architecture. Through this exhibition, local New Bedford experts along with students and faculty from UMass Dartmouth reveal a lesser-known progressive interracial neighborhood in the United States. Support Black Spaces Matter is supported by New Bedford Historical Society, Creative Economy Fund from the Office of the UMass President, UMass Dartmouth Provost Office, Perkins + Will Associates, Rotch–Jones–Duff House and Garden Museum, and Spinner Publications.
