Dear Members of the Campus Community,
In follow up to last week’s campus message marking the Supreme Court’s recent decision that overturned Roe v. Wade and forecasting additional campus events, we are inviting those who are interested to the following upcoming events (please note: the two events will be the same, one in-person, the second virtual):
In the Wake: Overturning Roe and the Dead Reckoning of Dobbs
Please join us as we gather to assess how our campus community is affected by the recent Dobbs decision and how we might collectively engage this critical moment. We recognize the work our students began by responding to the leaked draft of the decision, and we hope to foster open dialogue among faculty, staff, and students as we begin to chart our way forward in this changed legal landscape.
In-person event
When: Thursday, July 7, 4–6 p.m.
Where: Rasmussen Rotunda, Wheelock Student Center
Virtual event
When: Wednesday, July 13, 4–6 p.m.

If you have any questions in advance of either event, please feel free to email any of the faculty below:
Greta Austin, Religious Studies and Gender & Queer Studies
Nancy Bristow, History and Race & Pedagogy Institute
Regina Duthely, English
Priti Joshi, English & Asian Studies
Alisa Kessel, Politics & Government

Sincerely,
