We are proud to present, Adrienne Davis, Law School, and her guest lecture, "Sexual Political Economies of Slavery and Abortion Access."

Session Description

Legal scholars have noted that the closest precedents to many of the new state laws that will govern abortion access and information are the set of laws that regulated speech and travel under slavery in the antebellum United States. This session will consider overlaps and distinctions, focusing on what this precedent means in today’s context and what it means for our legal institutions and lives today.

This free, public Zoom webinar is a part of "The Politics of Reproduction" course series, sponsored by the Office of the Provost and the
