There will be a roundtable discussion on Friday from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. in Craig Lecture Hall. The discussion will feature invited experts whose work addresses sexual and reproductive health and justice from a variety of multidisciplinary perspectives.
A Pop-up School will be held on Saturday, March 10 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in CELA (A Level of Mudd Center). Classes offered will include topics such as “Not All Religions: An Interfaith Lens on Reproductive Justice,” “Reproductive Justice 101,” and “Parenting with Pride: An Unconventional Guide to Having Children.”
