Diffusing Strategies North-South and South-North: The Case of Abortion Rights Movements in the U.S. and Latin America

Join us for a lecture by Tamara Kay, Professor of Professor of Global Affairs and Sociology at the University of Notre Dame.

Tamara Kay's research and teaching focus on the political and legal implications of regional economic integration, transnationalism, and global governance for labor and environmental movements, nongovernmental organizations, and policy formation.

Kay’s prizewinning book, NAFTA and the Politics of Labor Transnationalism (Cambridge 2011), explores why and how the North American Free Trade Agreement stimulated transnational relationships among key unions in the US, Mexico, and Canada. second book, Trade Battles: Activism and the Politicization of International Trade Policy (Oxford 2018) examines how activists were able to politicize and influence trade policy during NAFTA’s negotiation despite their relative weakness in the trade policy arena. She is completing a third book, Sesame Street Travels the World: Organizations and the Politics of Cultural Innovation (under contract).

This event takes place as part of the Eckstein Distinguished Lecture Series on Latin America in the World. Sponsored by the Pardee School of Global Studies in collaboration with the Center for Latin American Studies.
