Southwestern Scholars: The Future of Fertility: Biological Realities and Societal Shifts
Fertility rates are declining worldwide — but what does that actually mean for our future, and for the many ways people build families today? Join Dr. Erika Sehne Munch ’04 and Dr. Katy Ross on Sunday, April 12, at 4:00 p.m. in the Fondren Jones Science Building atrium for a lively, open conversation that spans medicine, culture, and society. Dr. Munch, a reproductive endocrinologist, will share how patients are navigating an expanding range of options for family-formation — and what those choices reveal about how we think about family itself. Dr. Ross brings a cultural analyst’s lens to fertility trends across Europe, exploring what they tell us about women’s lives, desires, and the socio-economic forces shaping their choices. This is a conversation, not a lecture — so come ready to ask the questions that matter to you.
Reception of appetizers and drinks will be provided.
