Anna Nelson Talk
Lecture/Guest Speaker
Dr. Anna Nelson, "Unstable boundaries: law, medicine and the construction of health misinformation”
Co-presented by Feminist & Gender Studies, Health Studies, and the Birth Justice Research Initiative
September 24, 2026, 4:30pm
Room 112 Avard Dixon building
Abstract: Concerns about health misinformation are everywhere, and the law is regularly called upon to respond to these. Within these calls, health misinformation is often taken for granted as a stable category which can be easily identified. Drawing on examples from childbirth and reproductive health, this talk will unsettle that assumption and demonstrate the importance of taking a more critical approach to understanding contested health claims and practices.
Anna Nelson (she / her) is a feminist socio-legal researcher, with a particular interest childbirth. Her research often explores the way that law interacts with medical norms, and the impact this can have on consent, care and choice. She has a PhD in Bioethics & Medical Jurisprudence from…

George Kovacs Lecture
Academic Dates
The Reception and Pedagogy of Antiquity in Video Games
How and where did you first encounter the ancient Mediterranean world? For most of us, it was through screened representations, usually film or television. Video games, however, are an increasingly important vector in the reception – and therefore teaching of – classical antiquity. The scholarship of gaming studies and classical antiquity has lagged behind that of film and television, but we have seen an explosion of scholarly titles in this decade. What does it mean when a student’s greatest contact with antiquity is through a video game?

Join us for the opening of Jerry Ropson: a place of safety,
On view September 26 – December 6, 2026, Vernissage: September 25, 2026, 7:00pm, Curator: Emily Falvey,
What happens when you tell a child they have no future? In this solo exhibition, artist Jerry Ropson seeks the answer in a place that exists after the end—the remnants of a world that has “collapsed under its own weight.” The apocalyptic story that emerges here is told by uncanny, cultish objects who take unsettling, yet oddly playful forms. In this alternate reality, childlike curiosity roams the eerie ruins of a disaster that is both strange and strangely familiar. In Ropson’s words, “I want to personify my questions through an object-oriented practice. This work examines apocalyptic narratives but also the material residue of belief systems (…) It proposes a parallel existence in which the world we currently perceive has already ended.” The installation is accompanied by a reading room and a publication that is scheduled for release in…
