Screening of "Contract", a documentary by Guenny Pires
- Location: > See description for location
- Contact: Center for Portuguese Studies and Culture
- Description: The UMASSD Center for Portuguese Studies and Culture and the BCC Lusocenter are pleased to announce the presentation of the docudrama film, Contract, on Wednesday 20 October 2021 at 5:30 PM. The screening will take place at the Charlton College of Business Auditorium (room 149). This will be followed by a questions and answer session with the Director, Guenny K. Pires. Doors will open at 5:15 PM. Guests should use Parking Lots 13 and 14. Face masks are required indoors.
Contract tells the story of Cape Verdean indentured servants who leave their homes in Cape Verde and travel to Sao Tome and Principe under a work contract that will never be fulfilled. It is a personal story that documents the filmmaker's journey to reunite his uncle with his family. After leaving Cape Verde 44 years earlier with the hope of a better life, the uncle's reality is the same as so many others like him. He is trapped in a contract that pays only 10 cents a day and a $10 dollar life retirement from the Sao Tome and Principe government.
Guenny K. Pires was born and raised in Cape Verde and currently lives in Los Angeles, California. He earned both a BA and an MA in Visual Arts from Portugal. He is a filmmaker, a cinematographer, a professor of visual arts, and a co-founder of Txan Film Productions & Visual Arts, Incorporated.

AMANDA MEANS: LIGHT YEARS
- Location: > See description for location
- Contact: > See Description for contact information
- Description: University of Massachusetts Dartmouth is delighted to host a career survey of the work of renowned U.S. artist Amanda Means at the University Art Gallery in Star Store Campus, Downtown New Bedford.
For over forty years, Amanda Means has created a body of work that has pushed the boundaries of the photographic medium with her celebrated Leaf, Flower, Water Glass, and Light Bulb series of images. Means has been a darkroom innovator throughout her career: adapting a 19th century camera for use as an enlarger, photographing objects without the use of negatives, working with a large-format Polaroid camera, and creating a series of remarkable abstracts working only with light and photographic materials. The artist's darkroom alchemy was cited by the Guggenheim Foundation in awarding Means their prestigious Fellowship in 2017 for her contribution to contemporary photography.
Our survey exhibition, Means' first retrospective, includes examples of work from all phases of her career. Alongside key pieces from her color Polaroid Light Bulb and silver gelatin Water Glass works, we are excited to be showing some of the artist's early prints and works on paper, as well as important examples of her black and white Flower and Light Bulb works. This affords a unique opportunity to view Means' most celebrated images in the broader context of her overall practice.
Amanda Means is a graduate of Cornell University and SUNY Buffalo, and is a 2017 Guggenheim Fellow, awarded for her contribution to contemporary photography. She has exhibited widely in the U.S. and abroad, and her work is included in numerous collections including the Whitney Museum of American Art; the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston; the MIT List Visual Arts Center; the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo, N.Y.; and the Nicola Erni Collection, Switzerland. The artist is represented by JHB Gallery, New York, and lives and works in Beacon, New York.

Tour My Course: The Syllabus Edition

Office of Faculty Development: Claire T. Carney Library Room 213
A welcome banner, a class constitution, a user manual, syllabi serve many purposes. But only if students understand them. Accessibility studies has shown that some students can't process syllabi given design issues. And Janice Redish reminds us, when it comes technical texts, readers in general just don't read. Where does that leave our classic classroom genre? Both accessibility studies and technical communication provide solutions to reading roadblocks, and in this Tour My Course session, three First-Year English instructors will demonstrate how they incorporate accommodation strategies into their syllabi. From a minimalist approach to a technicolor design, the three syllabi show how we can meet accessibility needs regardless our teaching style.
This workshop is open to all faculty and graduate student instructors. The workshop will be conducted in a hybrid modality. To register, please contact Ellen Mandly at emandly@umassd.edu. Please indicate your preference for in-person or virtual participation when registering. Individually wrapped lunches, which can be enjoyed during the workshop or taken "to go," will be provided for in-person participants.

"Iron and Phosphorus Deprivation Induce Sociality in The marine Bloom-forming Cyanobacterium Trichodesmium"

Abstract
Trichodesmium spp. are dinitrogen-fixing (diazotrophic) cyanobacteria that exist as single filaments (trichomes) and as macroscopic colonies formed by aggregating trichomes. We demonstrate that limited availability of dissolved phosphorus (P) or iron (Fe) stimulated trichome mobility and induced colony formation in cultures and natural populations. The colonies formed appear to provide enhanced metabolic rates compared to single trichomes under depleted nutrients and were also characterized by stronger attachment forces between the trichomes. We postulate that also, in the nutrient-limited surface oceans, P and Fe availability prompt colony formation as well as bloom fate of Trichodesmium and primarily control the abundance and distribution of its different morphologies.

"Cod Damned? What's Up with New England Groundfish?"

Abstract
After decades of intense fishing from foreign and domestic fleets, fishery restrictions were designed to rebuild overfished groundfish stocksin the mid-1990s. Rebuilding plans were successful for several groundfish stocks, but others remain near record-low abundance even with little targeted fishing or
bycatch. The mixed stock fishery is constrained by low catch limits of rebuilding ‘choke stocks’ for harvesting healthy stocks. The cause of slow rebuilding is uncertain but appears to involve a combination of decreased productivity, under-reported catch, and mis-specified stock assessments that
led to continued overfishing, despite precautionary harvest controls. Recent management strategy evaluations conditioned on Gulf of Maine cod and Georges Bank haddock tested the performance of the current groundfish management procedure and alternatives in the context of biased catch and changes in productivity (i.e., natural mortality rates or recruitment). Results suggest that precautionary management procedures perform relatively well if stock assessment are well specified, even with moderate under-reporting of catch. However, simulation testing showed that rebuilding objectives cannot be achieved when management is informed by mis-specified stock assessment models. The next
step in evaluating cod fisheries is to investigate performance of the current management procedure as well as spatial alternatives (including revised management unit boundaries or assessment of mixed populations) for conserving and rebuilding spatially-complex cod populations,. These evaluations are
intended help to inform the best scientific information available for managing cod fisheries for the 2023 research track stock assessment.
