- April 8th, Thursday, 10-11am: Societal Racism in Mental Health. Join Dr. Linda Oakley, professor at the School of Nursing, in a discussion on the "defunding" of mental health care in the 80s, compared with the "criminalization" of Black mental health needs today versus white mental health needs defined as "diseases of despair." https://fb.me/e/2468kHFmQ 

- April 14th, Wednesday, 5-6pm, Contraceptive Autonomy: Measuring Reproductive Rights and Health Equity in the Global South. Dr. Leigh Senderowicz is a mixed-methods researcher at UW-Madison in the Health Disparities Research program. Although we promote family planning in the Global South as a means for women's empowerment, it is important to remember that fertility control has some roots in colonialism and eugenics. In this talk, we'll explore the intellectual history of global family planning, and discuss ways forward based in reproductive equity and justice.
