Composite Bodies Series | Michelle Goodwin in Conversation with Caroline Light and Patricia Williams
Wednesday, September 16
5:00 PM
Join Caroline Light, Senior Lecturer on Studies of Women, Gender, and Sexuality, Harvard University, and Patricia Williams, University Distinguished Professor of Law and Humanities at Northeastern, and their guest Michelle Goodwin,, for a conversation on how structures of surveillance in the lives of women of color result in severe infringements on privacy, civil liberties, and civil rights. The series Composite Bodies takes up questions of technology, surveillance, embodiment, and power from an intersectional feminist lens. Through critical engagements with law, philosophy, art, history, bioethics, criminology, and advocacy, this series will address how the machine measurement and tracking of bodies is reconceptualizing notions of privacy while complicating the boundaries of the body as an integrated whole, reproducing and reinforcing biases based on race, class, gender, and other historically disabling taxonomies.

A Message from the University
At Northeastern, we lead the way instead of waiting to be led. This has never been more true than during the COVID-19 pandemic. From day one, we’ve adapted to this moment in creative ways. Now, as our campuses reopen, we need to demonstrate leadership once again by working to maintain a healthy community. We’ll each practice simple, science-backed behaviors to keep our community safe and well. We’ll show care and respect for ourselves, one another, and our broader community. And we’ll focus on getting back to the work that brings us together as One Northeastern.
The health and safety of our students, faculty, and staff is Northeastern’s highest priority. The university has taken a comprehensive approach to reopening its campuses this fall—taking the necessary steps to provide a flexible, high-quality classroom and campus experience. To make the semester a success, we need your help. As one community—one pack—we know that our individual actions can have a profound effect on the whole. That’s why following basic health protocols, such as wearing masks, maintaining physical distancing, and testing regularly is so critical both on-campus and in surrounding communities. When you practice these behaviors and lead by example, you’ll be a driving force behind a successful and healthy academic year. You’ll help our community continue its important work of teaching, learning, exploring, discovering, innovating.
