"Resilience Strategies Among Transgender People"
âEmmie Matsuno
Graduate Student in âCounseling Psychology
Transgender people are at high risk for negative mental health and physical health outcomes due to the alarming rates of discrimination, harassment, and violence they experience. However, transgender people are resilient and engage in a number of strategies that counteract the effect of these stressors. âEmmie will discuss individual and group resilience strategies used among transgender people, present the Gender Minority Resilience Model (GMRM), and discuss implications of resilience research for transgender well-being.
"Lamprophyres: Unusual Rocks and the End of Mountain-Building in Antarctica"
âNicoletta Browne
Graduate Student in âEarth Science
Throughout the world, mafic dikes called lamprophyres cut across granites formed in arc settings, their appearance coinciding with the end of mountain-building and subduction. These rocks are unusual in that they resemble rocks formed from mantle melts in some ways, but also have chemical characteristics consistent with secondary enrichment processes. âNicoletta's research aims to more closely examine the geochemistry of these rocks in the hope of better understanding the reasons behind their appearance at the end of subduction. To do this, samples from an especially large swarm of dikes were taken from the Dry Valleys region of Antarctica.
This event will be moderated byâ Christian Villase~or, Assistant Dean of the Graduate Division.
