By Stephanie Ortiz

Join the Gender Studies Program and Departments of Sociology and English for a talk by Associate Professor Jenna Vinson on Friday, Nov. 20, from 1 – 2 p.m. in Dugan 210.

Drawing on her new book, "Stop Saying Snip! The Rhetoric of Vasectomy," Vinson explores how television and film portray vasectomy and what these representations reveal about masculinity, contraception and reproductive responsibility. The talk examines how popular culture shapes attitudes toward men's reproductive choices and why these representations matter for reproductive justice.

This event is free and open to all.
