At the symposium, as in the journal issue, we aim to think expansively about reproduction, race, gender, sexuality, and personal autonomy. The symposium will open with a keynote by Dorothy Roberts, author of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Torn Apart: How the Child Welfare System Destroys Black Families\u2013and How Abolition Can Build a Safer World <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">(Basic Books, 2022) whose work on reproduction, the Black body, and anti-Black racism has powerfully shaped the landscape of scholarship and organizing. The keynote will be followed by a series of simultaneous workshops by Sister Song, Collective Power, the Reproductive Justice Collective, and the Design Center at Barnard College. To close the symposium, scholars and activists Amaryah Armstrong, Ash Williams, D\u00e1na-Ain Davis, Toni Bond, and moderator Beck Jordan-Young will join on a panel to share some of the important takeaways from their research and organizing work, address the current moment of reproductive in\/justice in the United States, and offer ways that we can collectively move forward.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>This event is made possible in part by a Barnard Reproductive Health Grant supported by the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, Health &amp; Wellness, and the Office of the Provost, Barnard College.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Schedule<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>12:00 p.m.: Lunch<\/p>\n<p>12:30 &#8211; 2:00 p.m.: Keynote by Dorothy Roberts<\/p>\n<p>2:15 &#8211; 3:30 p.m.: Simultaneous workshops with <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sister Song, Collective Power, the Reproductive Justice Collective, and the Design Center at Barnard College<\/span><\/p>\n<p>3:30 &#8211; 4:00 p.m.: Coffee break<\/p>\n<p>4:00 &#8211; 5:30 p.m.: Panel discussion with <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Amaryah Armstrong, Ash Williams, D\u00e1na-Ain Davis, Toni Bond, and moderator Beck Jordan-Young<\/span><\/p>\n<p>5:30 p.m.: Closing remarks<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Accessibility<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>ASL Interpretation will be provided.
