The Way We Talk About Endocrine Disruption
Dayna Nadine Scott, co-director of the National Network on Environments and Women's Health, will discuss the environmental health effects of long-term, low-dose exposure to pollutants, with a focus on the Aamjiwnaang First Nation reserve near Sarnia, ON. This community, in the midst of Canada's largest petro-chemical complex, has seen a drastic decline in male newborns in recent years.
Monday, Nov. 22, 2010
7:30 to 9:00 p.m.
The Four Seasons Hotel Toronto
21 Avenue Road (Tudor Stuart Room).

Directors of the Centres of Excellence for Women's Health from across Canada will share their work, and CWHN's new Executive Director will host.
Scott is cross-appointed between York University’s law school and the Faculty of Environmental Studies. Her current research examines the way we talk about “endocrine disruption” from critical perspective.
