Race in the Roberts Court: Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization

The Women's & Gender Studies presents the year-long Articulating Abortion series. It is with great honor we will welcome Professor Khiara M. Bridges to MIT campus. Professor Bridges will excavate the role of race in the Court's decision in Dobbs to reverse Roe v. Wade.

Khiara M. Bridges is a professor of law at UC Berkeley School of Law. She has written many articles concerning race, class, reproductive rights, and the intersection of the three. Her scholarship has appeared in the Harvard Law Review, Stanford Law Review, the Columbia Law Review, the California Law Review, the NYU Law Review, and the Virginia Law Review, among others. She is also the author of three books: Reproducing Race: An Ethnography of Pregnancy as a Site of Racialization (2011), The Poverty of Privacy Rights (2017), and Critical Race Theory: A Primer (2019). She is a coeditor of a reproductive justice book series that is published under the imprint of the University of California Press.

This event will take place on November 16 at 4:30 pm in room 4-231. A Q&A will follow and we invite you to participate. All are welcome.
