Using a combination of lecture, audience engagement, call and response, and self-reflection, Dr. McLemore will curate a dream to action space that should provide novel energy to birth equity and reproductive justice momentum sparked by the 30-year anniversary of this powerful analytic tool, framework, theory, and praxis.
