CELLS / GLAD seminar: Professor Mary Ziegler: Personhood: The New Civil War over Reproduction
Personhood: The New Civil War over Reproduction What’s next for the battle over abortion? Mary Ziegler argues that simply undoing Roe v. Wade has never been the endpoint for the antiabortion movement. Since the 1960s, the larger goal has been to secure recognition of fetuses and embryos as persons under the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, a step that the modern antiabortion movement argues would make liberal abortion laws unconstitutional.

Professor Markus Kröger Public Lecture: Extractivisms, Resistance and Judicial Politics
How has resistance to destructive extractivist investment affected the outcomes of natural resource politics? This talk reflects on how social movements, NGOs, and other forms of active citizenship contesting the illegalities or socio-environmental injustices of over-extractive natural resource operations have influenced the economic outcomes in different contexts.
