Faculty Discussion: “Our Public Lives and Private Lives: Discussion of What the Constitution Means to Me and What it Means to You”

In June, the Supreme Court announced its decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, holding that there is no constitutional right to abortion. In light of that, the university is focusing its Constitution Day activities on discussions about the background, impacts, and future implications of this decision as a constitutional matter. 

In the third of three faculty discussions, Professor Sara Freeman will host “Our Public Lives and Private Lives: Discussion of What the Constitution Means to Me and What it Means to You,” a discussion of the play, What the Constitution Means to Me, in the Rotunda in the Wheelock Student Center. Join Professor Freeman, Visiting Assistant Professor Anna Valiavska, and Associate Artistic Producer at the Seattle Rep Kaytlin McIntyre for a panel discussion of the play and how it speaks to different aspects of private and public life impacted by constitutional interpretation. The panel will be thought provoking whether you’ve already seen the play or will see it after.
