Event Description
In this public lecture, Prof. Scheper-Hughes will discuss life and death in the interior of Northeast Brazil, 20 years after the publication of Death Without Weeping: The Violence of Everyday Life in Brazil. Her controversial discussion of mother love and child death is one of her most well-known — though least well-understood — theses. She will clarify her argument and explain how a veritable sexual and reproductive revolution came about in the first decade of the 21st century.
