Melanie Springer Mock speaks on international adoption Monday
Join us this Monday, Nov. 2, for the next Liberal Arts and Critical Issues presentation in Hoover 105. Melanie Springer Mock, professor of English at George Fox, will speak on “It’s Complicated: Orphan Care, International Adoption and the West.” The same presentation will take place from 5 to 6 p.m. and again from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. Guests are asked to attend the later session.
Mock will discuss complexities associated with international adoption and address the question, “How can we acknowledge the good parts of international adoption while also recognizing its problematic elements and its reliance on Western privilege?” Her presentation is the ninth in the “Majority World and the West” series.
