UMass Dartmouth CVPA Campus Gal lery is proud to present Tug and Pull\, an exhibition by Swedish-born arti st Anna Kristina Goransson\, in the CVPA Campus Gallery from September 30 to November 30\, 2026. A reception is planned for Wednesday\, September 30 \, 2026\, from 5 to 7 PM at the CVPA Campus Gallery at 285 Old Westport Ro ad in Dartmouth\, MA 02747\, featuring an artist talk at 5:30 PM. Light re freshments will be served. Please use parking lots 5\, 14\, or 18 and walk to the CVPA building from there. The gallery is located on the first floo r.
\nThe exhibition presents several impressive installations made o f 3D felted forms and found objects that create visual struggles between o pposing forces. As the artist states\, "In this world\, it seems everyone feels the pull of control coming from every direction. There is a constant weight of obligations and expectations. In the end\, who wins?"

Dr. Kristin Abatsis McHenry pre sents" Men have breasts too! cripping and queering the pinkification of br east cancer". Lunch provided.
\nWhile men with breast cancer make up a relatively small percentage of breast cancer cases\, their experiences of diagnosis\, treatment\, and survivorship are rarely discussed in part b ecause the breast cancer movement in its pink ribbon discourse perpetuates narrow binary gender constructions which position femininity as central t o breast cancer. In feminist scholarship\, much has been said about wome n’s breasts as sexualized\, objectified\, fetishized\, and regulated wit hin structures of heteropatriarchy. Just as women’s breast cancer narr atives reveal much about women’s relationships to breasts and structures of gender\, heteronormativity\, race\, and normate bodies\, likewise men ’s breast cancer narratives and illness experiences do as well. Using queer feminist analysis and disability frameworks I analyze men’s surviv or stories and representation posted on six advocacy organization’s webs ites conducting analysis of heteromasculinity found men’s breast cancer experiences\, by focusing on the queer contexts of disability found in mal e breast cancer discourse. This presentation seeks to disrupt the feminiza tion of breast cancer\, and to argue that male breast cancer warrants atte ntion not because it is a common experience but rather because it gives in sight into understandings of gender\, the body\, and disability.
\nKristen Abatsis McHenry’s research interests include: genealogies and p olitics of cancer\, and environmental health advocacy\, and the gendered h ealth dimensions of fracking using feminist technoscience theoretical fram eworks. Kristen Abatsis McHenry holds a doctorate in Political Science f rom the University of Massachusetts\, Amherst. She completed her M.A. at Georgia State University in Women's studies\, and her B.A. is from Ithaca College in Women’s Studies and Politics. Kristen Abatsis McHenry publ ished her first book The Green Solution to Breast Cancer: the Promise of P revention (2015 Praeger) and is currently working on her next book manuscr ipt Don't Frack Your Mother under contract with University of Washington P ress' Feminist Technoscience Series. She has also published articles in Si gns\, International Journal of Feminist Approaches to Bioethics\, and Ener gy Research and Social Science.

Abstract:
\nNitrous oxide is a potent greenhou se gas and the primary ozone-depleting agent of the 21stcentury\, but mari ne emissions of nitrous oxide remain difficult to constrain due to their s patiotemporal variability. In the Southern Ocean\, where extratropical cyc lones create conditions conducive to air-sea gas flux\, shipboard measurem ents are unlikely to capture the full extent of nitrous oxide emissions du e to the impracticality of sampling said storms. Here\, we use machine lea rning to derive nitrous oxide observations from biogeochemical Argo floats \, revealing that low-pressure storms amplify air-sea gradients and create hotspots of emissions. Taking these low-pressure storms into account\, ra ther than assuming 1 atmosphere (the standard condition outside of storm s)\, increases the net annual Southern Ocean nitrous oxide flux by 88%. Ou r results imply that the Southern Ocean plays a significant role in the gl obal nitrous oxide cycle\, and may be a weaker overall sink of greenhouse gases than previously thought.

Abstract:
\nAcross marine food webs\, ocean dynamics structure where species are now and where they are likely to be in the future. As competing demands for marine spatial planning inte nsify (fisheries\, marine protected areas\, offshore wind energy) and ocea n conditions continue to change\, there is a clear need to quantify how to sustainably conserve and manage marine populations. I share my research f rom the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans in near- and offshore pelagic environm ents that examine dispersal corridors in a mid-trophic-level consumer\, se ascape connectivity in highly migratory species\, climate refugia for fora ge fish\, and predator–prey interactions between mid- and upper-trophic- level consumers. Together\, I characterize the importance of transient oce anographic conditions\, regardless of ecosystem. The recurring role of tra nsient dynamics in structuring marine populations emphasizes the need for adaptive management that can keep pace with observed and projected changes in ocean conditions. I end my seminar with an exciting new collaboration with SMAST researchers Dr. Melissa Cronin and Lauren Pederson\, recognizin g the role of transience in ray distributions\, and will identify the risk of novel threats in a changing ocean region.
