Feminist anthropologist Dána-Ain Davis, professor of urban studies at Queens College, will give a talk about her new book, Reproductive Injustice: Racism, Pregnancy, and Premature Birth (NYU Press) followed by an author-meets-critics session.
The Institute for Advanced Study is excited to cosponsor this one-of-a-kind event. From the listing:
