University of Minnesota funds 'reproductive justice' symposium
The University of Minnesota's College of Design hosted a university-funded symposium on October 9 regarding how architecture and design can support abortion.
The University of Minnesota's College of Design hosted a pro-abortion, university-funded symposium.
The "Reproductive Justice: Design(ing) Post-Roe" event received funding from the university's Imagine Fund Special Events Grant Program.
The event included panelists who discussed "design for reproductive care environments in Minnesota and beyond."
According to Campus Reform, the "Reproductive Justice: Design(ing) Post-Roe" event received funding from the university's Imagine Fund Special Events Grant Program. In addition to funding research and scholarships, The Imagine Fund gives financial assistance for public events that involve arts, humanities, and design. Its funding typically ranges from $5,000 to $15,000.
The amount given for the Reproductive Justice: Design(ing) Post-Roe was not revealed publicly.
The Minnesota Daily advertised the event as free and open to the public, writing on its website:
The College of Design invites you to an interdisciplinary event at the intersection of design, reproductive justice, and public health. The in-person program explores the current state (and challenges) of design for reproductive care environments in Minnesota and beyond, and features speaker presentations followed by a moderated panel and roundtable discussions.
All are welcome, including students, designers, researchers, practitioners, policy makers, and advocates interested in safe, equitable, and accessible care in their communities.
The goal was to examine how to physically structure clinics and healthcare facilities to ensure they are private, equitable, legally compliant, and 'safe' as women travel from out of state of abortions.
It also focused on how the building impacts a woman's autonomy and access to abortion, specifically when a facility, like Red River Women's Clinic, closes down in one state due to pro-life protections and relocates to a pro-abortion state where a standard office building is then repurposed as an abortion business.
The event included panelists who discussed "design for reproductive care environments in Minnesota and beyond." Panelists included:
Lori Brown, FAIA, a professor at the Syracuse University School of Architecture
Tammi Kromenaker, director of the abortion business Red River Women's Clinic in Moorhead (previously of North Dakota)
Dr. Asha Hassan, who is affiliated with the university's Medical School and its Collective for Reproductive Health Research & Justice
Candice Davis, a conceptual and interdisciplinary artist
Terri Howard, vice president of equity at the architecture firm HGA acted as the facilitator and organizers included Terresa Hardaway, PhD, Associate Professor of Graphic Design & Director of Design Justice, College of Design; Aidan O’Connor, Director, Goldstein Museum of Design; Teri Kwant, ACD Trauma Informed Design Educator and Consultant; Karen Lu, FAIA, NOMA, Associate Principal, Snow Kreilich Architects; Malini Srivastava, Associate Professor of Architecture; and Jennifer Yoos, Professor of the School of Architecture.
Such an event at a university normalizes abortion — the direct and intentional killing of a preborn child — while ignoring the existence of pro-life students and professors who stand in favor of human rights for all members of the human species.
