SUMMARY:Chemical Entanglements: Gender and Exposure
DESCRIPTION:May 4-5\, 2017\nUCLA\nFREE and OPEN to the public!\nREGISTRATION NOW OPEN!\nThis symposium will convene a group of scholars\, scientists and community based researchers\, artists\, documentarians\, and policy makers to assess the gendered impacts of (primarily endocrine-disrupting) chemicals on human populations. By marshaling a variety of perspectives—laboratory\, ethnographic\, epidemiological\, and narrative\, this transdisciplinary collaboration will seek to explore how gender has made a difference in the public’s knowledge with regard to the cumulative effects of environmental toxins. Speakers will use methods from across scholarly disciplines to assess the way gendered patterns of exposure contribute to illnesses. Attendees will have the opportunity to meet researchers\, community organizers\, artists\, and innovators who are changing the way we approach: \n\nReproductive justice\, maternal health\, and endocrine disruption\nUrban oil drilling in Los Angeles\nIncome inequality\, environmental health\, and environmental justice\nExposure to indoor air pollution in homes and workplaces\nPesticides\, flame retardants\, and birth defects\nMultiple Chemical Sensitivity\, Toxicant-Induced Loss of Tolerance\, and exposure illness\nToxic personal care and cleaning products\nTraining the next generation of environmental innovators and advocates\n\nTravel Grants are available for non-UCLA graduate students and independent scholars to attend the Symposium!
