Women, Art and Fibers: Contemporary Responses to Abolition and the Journey North
- Location: CVPA: College of Visual and Performing Arts
, 285 Old Westport Road, Dartmouth, MA
- Contact: University Art Gallery
- Description: Location: CVPA Campus Gallery, University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, 285 Old Westport Road, North Dartmouth
Exhibition dates: March 8, 2017 - April 4, 2017
Opening Reception: Wednesday, March 8, 4-6 pm, Comments by the Artists: 5 pm
Guest-Curated by Laurie Carlson Steger and Dr. Memory Holloway
Exhibiting Artists: Cathryn Amidei, Suzi Ballenger, Laurie Carlson Steger, Sonja Dahl, Barbara Eychaner, Brooks Harris Stevens, Karen Hampton, Margaret Leininger, Faith Ringgold, Linda Rhynard, Marcia Weiss, plus members of the Sisters in Stitches Joined by the Cloth Quilt group, Naomi Henry, Lesyslie Rackard, Christie Rawlins-Jackson, Kimberly Radcliffe, and Susi Ryan
Women, Art and Fibers: Contemporary Responses to Abolition and The Journey North, focuses on the influences of the slave trade, the whaling industry and the textile industry which linked New Bedford MA and Savannah, GA.
The exhibition, hguest-curated by Laurie Carlson Steger and Dr. Memory Holloway, with work by fifteen fiber artists from across the nation, includes historic garments from the Rotch-Jones Duff House and Garden Museum as well as a story quilt from the New Bedford Historical Society. The opening reception with the comments by the artists is held on Wednesday, March 8, from 4 to 6 pm. Visitors are advised to use Parking Lot 7. An exhibition catalog written by Dr. Memory Holloway, will be available.
The selected works respond to local Quaker and abolitionist histories and stories of the enslaved who escaped via the Underground Railroad, often passing through New Bedford. Traditional and contemporary textile techniques and materials create artworks of compelling solidarity and stature that unite a diverse community.
The exhibition is held in conjunction with International Women's Month, and New Bedford's Fiber Art Month.
This program is supported in part by a grant from the Dartmouth Cultural Council, which is a local agency supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency.
Additionally, we would like to thank the following for their generous assistance in making this exhibition possible: ACA Galleries in New York City, LCH Designs, New Bedford Historical Society, Rotch-Jones-Duff House and Garden, Sisters in Stitches Joined by the Cloth with special thanks to Anderson Airmotive Products Company Inc., Fall River, MA.

Online Teaching and Learning Strategies
- Location: Online
- Contact: CITS Instructional Development
- Description: In this course, we will introduce you to current research and best practices for online teaching as well as showcase examples of successful teaching strategies for the online environment.
Throughout the course you will work both independently and collaboratively with your peers to gain valuable online course transition experience and develop your own strategies for online teaching and learning. As a participant, you will learn both pedagogical aspects of teaching online as well as how to use and incorporate many of the tools available in the myCourses Learning Management System used at UMassD.
The ultimate goal of the course is to have you begin planning, organizing, and building the online course you eventually plan to teach. In addition, this course will introduce you to techniques that will teach you how to self-assess course site design to ensure student ease of access to course content and to facilitate more streamlined student learning and increase retention.

Black Labor Leadership from the Past to the Present
- Location: > See description for location
- Contact: > See Description for contact information
- Description: UMassD NAACP Chapter, the Arnold M. Dubin Labor Education Center, and the A. Philip Randolph Institute Eastern MA present, "Black Labor Leadership from the Past to the Present" on Thursday, March 23, 2017 at 7PM in the Blue and Gold Room of the Campus Center.
Join Elce Redmond, an organizer with the with the Bakery and Confectionery Workers International Union of America, as he shares stories about his grandfather who organized alongside A. Philip Randolph, his father's work as a Teamster, and his current role as an union organizer. A. Philip Randolph was leader in the Civil Rights Movement, the American labor movement, and socialist political party. A. Philip Randolph organized and led the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, the first predominantly African-American labor union.
Elce will also discuss forging Black/Brown unity in the face of job loss in Chicago, particularly with efforts to save 600 jobs from being sent to Mexico. He will highlight how his union is striving to focus on the corporate decisions that can divide workers and that could pit workers against each other, if we aren't intentionally about building strong solidarity. Come with your questions about this campaign, what it is like to be a union organizer and about the importance of Black labor leaders in building the labor movement.
600 Nabisco workers who make Oreo Cookies lost their jobs in Chicago last year when Nabisco put profits before workers. Learn about their fight back against corporate greed, outsourcing, and the global exploitation of working people. Speak with a laid off Nabisco worker regarding how the events unfolded in Chicago, how they and their families have been personally affected, how the fight back has grown nationally and globally, and how you can get involved!

TOPIC:
An Advanced 3D Computational Framework for Simulating Fluid-Structure Interaction in two-fluid Flows: Application in Ocean Wave Energy Conversion Technology
ABSTRACT:
Wave energy converter (WEC) devices harness the renewable ocean wave energy and convert it into useful forms of energy, e.g., mechanical or electrical. In this dissertation an advanced 3D computational framework is presented to study the interaction between water waves and WEC devices. The computational tool solves the full Navier-Stokes equations and considers all important effects impacting the device performance. To enable large-scale simulations in fast turnaround times, the computational solver was developed in an MPI parallel framework. A fast multigrid preconditioned solver is introduced to solve the computationally expensive pressure Poisson equation. Simulating a floating object, representative of WECs, interacting with two fluids having high density ratio is a challenging problem for computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solvers. Special schemes were implemented to ensure robustness and numerical stability of the solver in handling such cases and a wide range of other problems. Since the wave energy is concentrated near the water free surface, the emphasis lately has been on the study of surface piercing WEC devices. A novel three-phase reconstruction algorithm was developed to enable such studies via numerical simulations. The constituent components of the proposed solver was validated against benchmark problems. The solver was then applied to a bottom-hinged flap-type WEC oscillating due to water waves. The numerical WEC response and water free surface dynamics were compared with experimental time series data and a good agreement was found. Additional simulations were conducted to investigate the applicability of Froude scaling in predicting full scale WEC response from the model experiments.
