Canadian Women’s Health Network
Gender-bending and Environmental Justice: The Way We Talk About Endocrine Disruption
WEBINAR: March 18, 12-1:00 p.m. EST
Dayna Nadine Scott, co-director of the National Network on Environments and Women’s Health, will discuss the environmental health effects of long-term, low-dose exposure to pollutants, with a focus on the Aamjiwnaang First Nation reserve near Sarnia, ON. This community, in the midst of Canada’s largest petro-chemical complex, has seen a drastic decline in male newborns in recent years. Scott is cross-appointed between York University’s law school and the Faculty of Environmental Studies. Her current research examines the way we talk about “endocrine disruption” from critical perspective. She completed a Post-Doctoral Fellowship at McGill’s Faculty of Law, and a Fulbright Fellowship at NYU Law School.
The webinar is free of charge and open to the public. You will need a computer with a high speed internet connection and speakers (or a headset).
