    "Amniotechnics: Do Electric Sheep Dream of Water Babies?"

    Wednesday, November 20, 2019
     4:15PM to 5:45PM
    Gest 101

    Somewhere in Philadelphia, artificial wombs are gestating sheep fetuses. Humans are next. This project explores miraculous clinical developments involving growing sheep fetuses in plastic bags, or “bio-bags.” These technologies have the potential to realize the old dream of the artificial womb, they also force us to return to an old question: Why would we want to automate gestation in the first place? Sophie Lewis is a professor at Brooklyn Institute for Social Research, a writer, theorist, and translator.

Now a year strong, the series presents immigrants and allies of immigrants writing across genres about immigration in today's America.

    "Windows and Walls: Discovering and Asserting Personal Boundaries"

    Thursday, November 21, 2019
     7:00PM to 9:00PM
    Founders Common Room

    We hear a lot these days about the importance of setting boundaries. But we don't always know what our boundaries are. In our individualistic culture, how do we assert boundaries while still maintaining mutualistic, empathetic relationships? In this workshop, we use a series of prompts to explore our emotional and physical boundaries in a variety of contexts. After identifying some of our boundaries, we will work on the important skill of expressing them.
