WGST Lecture Series Welcomes Guest Speakers
As part of the ongoing Gender and Sexuality series, guest speakers Dr. Matthew Dolliver and Dr. David Pate will present a lecture from 5-6 p.m. April 5 via Zoom.
This lecture will discuss how the legal system and child support system pose specific challenges for young men and low-income men. Pate, an associate professor of social work at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and an affiliate of the Institute for Research on Poverty, will discuss how child support policies put low-income fathers at risk of incarceration, making it harder for them to provide support and care for their children. Dolliver, an associate professor of criminology and criminal justice at the University of Alabama, will discuss how masculinity may impact deviant behavior and incarceration.
