"Feminism Is NOT a Dirty Word!"
Dr. Anne Klaeysen, Leader

Women’s History Month provides an opportunity to review the status of “feminism.” Is it still the vibrant social, cultural, and political movement it once was? Why do so many young women today recoil from that word, proclaiming that they are “for equal rights” but are not “feminists”? I will explore these questions and discuss the “four waves” of feminism in the United States.

The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks - Author Interview

Wednesday, March 17
7:00 PM
Auditorium

Join NYSEC Leader Joe Chuman for an interview with Rebecca Skloot, author of The New York Times bestseller The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks.

From the book: "Her name was Henrietta Lacks, but scientists know her as HeLa. She was a poor Southern tobacco farmer who worked the same land as her slave ancestors, yet her cells—taken without her knowledge—became one of the most important tools in medicine. The first 'immortal' human cells grown in culture, they are still alive today, though she has been dead for more than sixty years. Yet Henrietta remains virtually unknown. Henrietta's family didn't learn of her 'immortality' until more than twenty years after her death, when scientists investigating HeLa began using her husband and children in research without informed consent.Even though Henrietta's cells launched a multimillion-dollar industry that sells human biological materials, the family never saw any of the profits, and for decades after her death, many of her descendants struggled in Baltimore, often going years without health insurance."

This modern medical thriller is a true story that takes an unflinching look at modern medicine, bioethics and race relations.

Admission is free. Donations are appreciated and will benefit The Henrietta Lacks Foundation.

"Liberalism, Individualism, And Values"
Dr. Joseph Chuman, Leader

Many people are dismayed at the thinness and shrill tone of much of our political discourse, reduced, as it often is, to sound bites and posturing around “political correctness.” How did we reach this point?

Perhaps it has something to do with the way we have become accustomed to talk about politics. We often concern ourselves foremost with individual rights at the expense of the common good. By so doing we leave behind discussion of the values which lead us to the political positions we hold. In my address I will look at the strengths of our political culture by examining the values inherent in both individualism and communitarianism.
