It is a fully-funded 8–10-week overseas language and cultural immersion program for a diverse range of American undergraduate and graduate students at every level of language learning.

Join UC Berkeley Gender Equity Resource Center(link is external), ASUC Event Services(link is external), Center for Race and Gender(link is external), and the Department of Gender and Women’s Studies(link is external) along with UC San Diego Women’s Center(link is external) for a moderated discussion and audience Q&A with Reproductive Justice and Human Rights Advocate and 2022 MacArthur Fellow, Loretta J. Ross. This is a free online event.Moderated by Prof. Courtney Desiree Morris, the conversation begins with an introduction outlining the Reproductive Justice Framework, then discussing the impact of the Roe overturn. The talk will include strategies for gender inclusion, individual and community healing, as well as, thinking radically about abolition, reproductive freedom and community care.
How will Roe overturn continue to affect our communities, particularly, low-income communities of color and rural communities? What other liberties are at stake? And what can we do as individuals, students, faculty, staff, and organized groups? We hope Loretta Ross will provide wisdom in addressing these questions as well as inspiration and hope moving forward.
