April 11 @ 9:00 am - 10:30 pm
The Center for Bioethics and Humanities at SUNY Upstate Medical University is proud to present this year’s Reiss Lecturer in Ethics and Equity, Dr. Jennifer James, PhD, MSW, MSSP.
Jennifer James, a sociologist, bioethicist, and Black feminist scholar, will trace the history of reproductive care in the US, examining structural racism from the time of slavery to modern obstetric violence. Attendees will be asked to consider the role of healthcare workers in the criminalization of pregnancy and birth.
