This project entails an invited lecture, a micro-seminar, a workshop and linked events that expand on two collaborative research projects: one on reproductive racial capitalism, and the other on the global history of abortion care and politics since the 1960s. Through these activities in winter and spring 2024, Weinbaum and Thomas will draw UW faculty and students into conversation with non-UW scholars seeking to better understand and address our current reproductive crises.
