The League of Women Voters of the Lewisburg Area’s Educational Forum series will continue with an online-only presentation on Tuesday, March 21, 2023 by Dara Purvis, Esquire, Associate Dean and Professor of Law, Penn State Law at University Park.  Professor Purvis will address the legal ramifications of the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent abortion rights case in her talk on “Roe, Dobbs and What’s Next: Law of Privacy Today”. 

League members and the general public are invited to attend virtually and observe the talk via Zoom.

Professor of Law Dara E. Purvis is a scholar of family law, feminist legal theory, masculinities, and sexuality, gender identity, and the law.  Her work examines gendered impacts of the law and proposes neutralizing reforms, most recently in the context of how the law defines parenthood. She is also the Associate Dean of Research and Partnerships.  Professor Purvis has a J.D. from Yale University and a M.Phil. from University of Cambridge.
