The Canadian Journal of Family Law is hosting a mini-symposium as a launch event for its forthcoming special issue on the topic of domestic violence. The issue is the culmination of a six-year, SSHRC-funded project titled “Domestic Violence and Access to Justice within and across Legal Systems.” The event will include two panels in which the authors will present their work and engage with the audience. The panels will be hosted in person at Allard Hall and also available via Zoom.

Andrea will be bringing her dog [Husky-Golden Retriever] to Allard to assist in her Wellness Wednesday emotional wellbeing session. In the HK Alumni Lounge, Andrea will have the Wellbeing table set up with emotional wellbeing treats to take with you!

This talk will analyze the reversal of Roe v. Wade and the criminalization of abortion care in the U.S. from the perspective of the reproductive justice framework. It will then describe the theory of racism that the U.S. Supreme Court has adopted in recent terms, and it will explore how this theory of racism explains the Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization.
