Conversation with Friends: featuring Margaret Pabst Battin ’58

in conversation with Bob Myers ’58

Please join us to hear from professor and author Margaret “Peggy” Pabst Battin ’58 in this special Conversation with Friends event about her new book, Sex and the Planet: What Opt-In Reproduction Could Do for the Globe. A provocative thought experiment with far-reaching real-world implications, this book explores the possibilities (and likely consequences) of a world in which reproduction was always elective. Classmate Bob Myers ’58 will lead this conversation with Peggy, exploring a variety of topics including reframing much of the conversation around reproductive rights, as well as identifying and challenging many problematic assumptions.
