Articulating Abortion Series: Abortion Rights as Human Rights: The Continuing Fight for Reproductive Justice

The Women's & Gender Studies presents the year-long Articulating Abortion series. It is with great honor we will welcome Professor Zakiya Luna to MIT campus. Professor Luna will defend reproductive rights as human rights.

Zakiya Luna is the Dean's Distinguished Professorial Scholar in the Department of Sociology at Washington University in St. Louis. Her research is in the areas of social change, sociology of law, health and inequality. Her focus is on social movements, human rights and reproduction with an emphasis on the effects of intersecting inequalities within and across these sites. Her book, Reproductive Rights as Human Rights: Women of Color and the Fight for Reproductive Justice , was named by Oprah Daily as one of the "The 12 Books You Need to Read Post the Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade Smackdown."

This event will take place on December 13 at 4 pm in 3-133. This event will be open to the public.
