The historical record is marked by voids: elided events; disappeared people; erased accounts; marginalized communities.  So is our own era.

The Center for the Study of the Holocaust, Genocide, and Crimes Against Humanity (The Graduate Center—City University of New York), in association with the School of General Studies and the Master of Arts in Holocaust and Genocide Studies (Stockton University), and the Skirball Department of Hebrew and Judaic Studies (New York University), offers a year-long virtual series, The Marginalized and the Erased, to tackle a number of those blank spots.

Please join us for the second of the series:

“Post-Roe America: Women and Human Rights”

A challenging conversation about the loss of bodily autonomy and human rights

With the extinction of abortion access as a constitutional right, obstetric care has become a legal labyrinth and cybersecurity for individuals has emerged as a serious concern.  Frontline expert Dr Lisa Harris will address the thorny question of how the SCOTUS decision shapes medical practice.  And cybersecurity experts Eva Galperin and Jennifer Granick will plumb the weaponization by law enforcement and ordinary citizen bounty hunters of women’s telephone call histories, browser histories, text messages, emails, location data, and payment records. Lisa Harris is Associate Chair of Ob/Gyn at the University of Michigan Medical School; her research sits at the intersection of clinical obstetrical and gynecological care and law, policy, and politics. Eva Galperin, at the forefront of cybersecurity research, policy, and practice, is dedicated to providing privacy and security for vulnerable populations around the world; Galperin serves as Director of Cybersecurity at the Electronic Frontier Foundation.  Jennifer Granick is a lawyer and prize-winning author. As the Surveillance and Cybersecurity Counsel with the Speech, Privacy and Technology Project at the American Civil Liberties Union, Granick litigates, speaks, and writes about privacy, security, technology, and constitutional rights.

Chair: Marion Kaplan
