Sex, Pregnancy and the Supreme Court - Constitutional Rights of Women
Special Lecture | This course is completed
David Bisno studied constitutional law at the Law School of the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, VA and at the Harvard Law School with Professor Laurence Tribe. He has honed his ability to help lay audiences understand the complexities of constitutional law - the interpretation of "those wise restraints which make men free." The discussion on Saturday, May 21st, looking at the history of women's rights and the present challenges the Court faces, is expected to be lively and provocative.
David Bisno
David Bisno, MD, retired ophthalmologist, has earned degrees from Harvard, the Washington University School of Medicine, and Dartmouth. Following his career in medicine, he has, for the past 30 years, developed and presented a myriad of courses within institutes for lifelong learning here at Dartmouth, across this country, and overseas. He was the founder and developer of our Summer Lecture Series.
Last year, responding to the crisis of October 7th, 2023 in the Middle East, David presented four provocative lectures entitled "Whose Land Is It, Anyway?" This spring, with headlines screaming, our government becoming “more efficient,” the stock market dropping, good folks being fired and those with little expertise being handed the reins, David will discuss with us topics filling the headlines and our homes with concerns. What does it mean that those who have been found guilty are released, those who did the prosecuting are being dismissed, and those to whom we entrusted responsibility are staying silent out of fear of retribution? What are the implications for our country?
