DESCRIPTION:
 Join us for Dr. Lisa Harris' lecture on Thursday, 
 April 11, 2013 from noon till 1 pm online. 
 The lecture can be accessed live online at 
 connect.msu.edu/brownbag.<br>\n
 Lisa Harris, M.D., 
 Ph.D, is an Assistant Professor of Obstetrics 
 and Gynecology and Women's Studies at University 
 of Michigan. Dr. Harris earned her 
 AB in English Literature at Harvard College, 
 and subsequently earned her MD from Harvard Medical 
 School. She completed a residency in obstetrics 
 and gynecology at University of California, 
 San Francisco. After residency she became 
 a Robert Wood Johnson (RWJ) Clinical Scholar. 
 Because so many issues in reproductive 
 medicine have as much to do with American culture 
 as they do to biomedicine, she subsequently 
 earned a PhD in American Culture at University 
 of Michigan. She has been a faculty member 
 at University of Michigan since 1998, where 
 she teaches students across campus, in the 
 Medical School, School of Public Health, and 
 College of Literature, Sciences and the Arts. 
 She directs the senior undergraduate course, 
 "Women's Reproductive Health," in the Women's 
 Studies Department. In her research she examines 
 issues at the intersection of clinical 
 obstetrical and gynecological care and law, 
 policy, politics, ethics, history and sociology. 
 She is currently finishing a book on the 
 history of in vitro fertilization in which she 
 situates the rise in technological reproduction 
 in the larger social and political contexts 
 of changing women's roles in society, the 
 legalization of abortion, the rise of the religious 
 right, and ongoing erosion of reproductive 
 health resources for poor women of color. 
  She also studies the experiences of abortion 
 workers, abortion stigma, and the clinical 
 and ethical consequences of restrictive abortion 
 legislation.\n\n
