Our talk at SSSP conference

We just presented some work in progress in August at the Society for the Study of Social Problems Annual Meeting in Las Vegas:

“Race, Sexuality and Reproductive Surgeries,” Elizabeth B. Erbaugh, Butler University and Dionne Bensonsmith, Scripps College

Session 25: Reproductive Health: Current Issues and Prospects for Change

Sponsored by the SSSP sections on Family; Health, Health Policy, and Health Services

Paper presentations were followed by lively discussion among a great group of presenters and our small but very engaged audience. Thanks to Miranda R. Waggoner, Brandeis University and Arthur L. Greil, Alfred University for organizing our panel.
