SAO is hosting structured “body doubling” time and space.  

Body doubling is a study technique where you work alongside someone to increase focus and help reduce procrastination. The presence of others can enhance cognitive performance and productivity, especially for those who struggle with attention and executive functioning. We provide structured time allotments for studying and wellness breaks (and food, of course).  

This is a great opportunity to set study goals, monitor your progress, and enjoy extra productive study time (and snacks).

Using the example of post-Dobbs abortion bans that contain no exceptions for incest or rape, this talk will argue that law and institutions charged with protecting the vulnerable are often responsible for the oppression of women, the suppression of their capacities, and the harms that follow. It will examine some of the ways that the state wields and perpetuates sexual violence inconsistently based on race and class, as it curates prurient and avoidable harm against women and girls, fails to shield them from harm, and too frequently magnifies both risks of this harm and the harm itself.
