Join us for a lecture with Cara Page, a Black Feminist Queer cultural/memory worker and organizer, who is curating community installations to shed light on historical and contemporary uses of policing and surveillance through scientific racism & the Medical Industrial Complex. Through her work she seeks to confront and transform the centuries of testing, experimentation and institutionalization of Black/IPOC, LGBTQI, Women, Youth, People with Disabilities and Migrant communities being wrongly targeted as expendable based on who is systemically defined as who is ‘healthy’, who is ‘diseased’ and who is ‘fit for survival.’
Monday, October 15th
6-7:30pm
West Lecture Hall, Franklin Patterson Hall
This event co-sponsored by PopDev, Ethics and the Common Good, and Civil Liberties and Public Policy
