Venue: Online

Organizer: Regina Müller, Mirjam Faissner & Carlotta Hartmann, for the network “Bioethics and Structural Injustice”

The network “Bioethics and Structural Injustice” is excited to welcome Dr. Agomoni Ganguli-Mitra for a public lecture: “As abortion once again becomes a target for populist politics and legal restrictions, it is worth asking: what now? Using insights from Black and transnational feminists, I examine potential avenues for academic discourse and activism in our way to more just abortion access and care.”

Dr. Agomoni Ganguli-Mitra is Senior Lecturer in Bioethics and Global Health Ethics, and Deputy-director of the JK Mason Institute for Medicine, Life Sciences and the Law. Her background is in bioethics, with a special interest in global bioethics, structural and gender justice. She has written on ethical issues related to global health emergencies, public health, global surrogacy, sex-selection, biomedical research, racism in health and the concepts of exploitation vulnerability and power in bioethics.
