Wellesley Faculty Visit: Lecture with Professor Galarneau

We warmly welcome Charlene A. Galarneau, Associate Professor Emerita of Women's and Gender Studies at Wellesley, who will join us for an evening discussion about feminist bioethics and its contribution to health care.

Please note: Given the current health situation, Professor Galarneau will join us via videoconference. This event has now moved to Zoom and upon registration you will receive login details.

Charlene’s research focuses on the ethics of health and health care, and in particular, theories of justice that attend to gender, race, class, and other social structures. She is also interested in the consequences of health care reform on immigrants, institutional discrimination in U.S. blood donation policy, and reproductive justice. Her book, Communities of Health Care Justice (Rutgers, 2016), presents a concept of community justice that takes seriously the moral and policy roles of communities in a just health care system.

We will start at 7:00pm with the lecture portion before moving to a Q&A. We'll end by 8:15 at the latest.

The talk is FREE for Wellesley alums and students.

We hope to see you on June 23rd!

The Club continues to use its “CHOOSE YOUR OWN DUES” plan. (For some guidance, the range is normally between £5 and £50). All funds go directly towards the Club’s events such as Thanksgiving, communications, lectures, etc. Without your contribution through dues, we'd be unable to put on important events such as this one, or the Thanksgiving dinner. Please consider paying something toward annual dues when you register for this event. Thank you!
