McGeorge Professor Ederlina Co researches reproductive rights and justice. In her forthcoming article, “Seeing Through Blind Spots: Lessons in Intersectionality from the Suffrage Movement for Abortion Rights and Justice” (Northeastern University Law Review), Co applies a Critical Race Feminism lens to consider the lessons the suffrage movement has for the post-Dobbs abortion rights movement.

Created in response to the tragic killings by police of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and others and the widespread protests that followed, UC Davis Law’s Racial Justice Speaker Series is now returning. Reaffirming the law school’s commitment to racial justice, the series invites leading scholars from around the country to explore systemic racism as it pertains to all communities of color and areas of law. The goals are to inform, enlighten, and most important engage in meaningful conversation with our King Hall community and the larger public.
