To Notice Blackness: Blood Codes, “Sexual Deviance,” and Health Equity

To Notice Blackness: Blood Codes, “Sexual Deviance,” and Health Equity

The Health and Society program in the Department of Social Science is happy to announce our first annual lecture, Thursday, 14 February 2019, at 2:00pm, with Dr. OmiSoore Dryden (Thorneloe University at Laurentian). Her paper, To Notice Blackness: Blood Codes, “Sexual Deviance,” and Health Equity, focuses on the legacies of colonialism and anti-black racism, which shape knowledge about blood and blood safety. Specifically, how contemporary discourses of blood impact Black personhood. Everyone is welcome to this event.
