Tertulia in the time of coronavirus: Kerri Froc on Henry Morgentaler [video]

University of New Brunswick law professor Kerri Froc delivered the most recent tertulia in the time of coronavirus on May 20. Froc, who specializes in women’s constitutional rights and feminist legal theory, spoke about abortion access advocate Dr. Henry Morgentaler.

What is a tertulia? A tertulia is a kind of philosophy café where the lives and ideas of big thinkers, artists and other people who left a mark are shared with a broader community of curious people. This spring’s tertulia series discusses thinkers and ideas on how to deal with the coronavirus crisis.

Watch Froc’s talk here:

Upcoming tertulias this spring by Zoom at 7:00pm

May 27 – Carolyn MacDonald on Virgil and Latin literature after the fall of the Roman Republic

June 3 – Karen Pearlston and Jessi Taylor on the AIDS/coronavirus crises and lessons from queer activism

June 10 – Daniel Tubb on Gabriel García Márquez

The NB Media Co-op has partnered with Tertulia Fredericton to published videos of some of the tertulias.
