This talk is based on my recently published book, Wanting Children: Family-Planning Policies and the Engineering of America's Population (University of Chicago Press). Unlike most of the world, U.S. family-planning policy has focused almost exclusively on limiting fertility, with little attention to supporting people who want to have children. I trace the historical and political roots of this asymmetry and argue for a more balanced approach to population policy - one that takes seriously the needs of those who want to become parents.

Description Forthcoming

Guests from NeuroArts Blueprint Initiative, Andrea Camp and Dr. Emmeline Edwards, share insights about where NeuroArts research and policy stand today.

Spanish-language workshop on the Guarani language.

Using the archives of the African National Congress of South Africa & the letters and memoirs of past activists, this talk will examine how women shaped the exiled struggle against apartheid in South Africa. From the 1960s through the 1980s, South African women pushed the mainstream of the anti-apartheid movement to consider women's particular suffering under apartheid, and to fight for broad social transformation as part of overthrowing apartheid.
