The American University Washington College of Law Health Law and Policy Program and Program on Gender, Theory, Law & Practice along with the American University Center on Health, Risk, and Society are pleased to host Risk and Resistance: Feminist Interventions in Health Law, Science, and Policy on Friday, October 3, from 12:00 PM – 5:00 PM ET (in person and virtually) with the support of Boston University School of Law and Program on Reproductive Justice.
This program will celebrate and discuss the themes raised in Professor Aziza Ahmed’s new book, Risk and Resistance: How Feminists Transformed the Law and Science of AIDS (Cambridge University Press, 2025). Join us for this convening of a diverse group of experts across law, public health, feminist legal theory, and reproductive justice to reflect on the history of AIDS and its ongoing impact on public health and policy. Professor Ahmed will deliver the keynote address, with Professor Michele Goodwin serving as the keynote commentator, followed by two panels exploring the book’s central themes.
We invite you to be part of this important conversation on how feminist interventions continue to transform health law, science, and policy. Learn more and register here!
