Guest speaker Dr. Gillian Einstein, PhD presents “The World Writes on the Body: A Feminist Perspective on Immigrant Women’s Health”

Female genital circumcision/mutilation/cutting (FGC) is often considered only in terms of its effects on the reproductive system and sexual health. This talk uses a feminist science approach to consider how this gendered practice affects other body systems, in particular, the nervous system and in this way, move the conversation from women’s genitals to their brains.
