Fronting this afternoon lecture will be members of the Flexible Eating and Empowered Living (FEEL) team, an interdisciplinary group consisting of staff from MSU’s University Health Partners working together to improve support for students with eating and body concerns. This presentation will include a panel discussion, Q&A portion, and student voices.
Sack Lunch Seminar, “‘Unorthodox’ Experiences of Birth Control,” follows Wednesday, March 6th from noon–1pm in SUB 168.
Join Cristina Pop, an MSU instructor, for a look at her research on birth control use among Christian Orthodox women in Montana. When it comes to reinterpreting the church’s teachings about reproduction in the light of the practicalities of life, Orthodox women from Montana work around the meaning of birth control from within a non-secular perspective.
