Presented by

Professor Susan Craddock

Thursday, June 5, 2003, at 12:00 P.M.

at Briggs and Morgan, PA, 2400 IDS Center, in Minneapolis

(lunch will be served)

Professor Craddock is an Assistant Professor of Women’s Studies at the University of Minnesota.  She received her Ph.D. and M.A. in Geography from the University of California, Berkeley.  Professor Craddock is currently working on a project examining the implications of medical, pharmaceutical, and biotechnological relationships for global patterns of disease and geopolitics. Drawing from feminist science studies, postcolonial theories, and bioethics, Craddock explores the role of clinical trials, patent regulations, and the medical neglect of major global diseases in generating debates over resource equity, valuations of human life, and definitions of gender and race.

This is one in a series of lunchtime speakers dedicated to improving awareness of women’s human rights issues.  Please join us the first Thursday of each month for a new presentation.  For more information, please contact Amelia at Minnesota Advocates for Human Rights.
