Smearing the Pap: brown bag lunch talk

a brown bag lunch talk with Elizabeth R. Boskey
December 2, Friday
12:30 to 1:45 pm
Elizabeth R. Boskey, CSGS Visiting Scholar
The Pap smear was one of the great public health innovations of the 20th Century. However, the way in which the test is currently used brings up important issues of sexism, paternalism, and autonomy in medical care. This talk will look at how oral contraceptive prescriptions have become linked to cervical cancer screening and examine the issue of birth control access through the lens of reproductive rights.
