An Evening with Riley Valentine!

Join us at CHB Lafayette for a Q&A and book signing with Riley Valentine at 5 p.m. on Feb. 28!

Riley, who has a Ph.D from Louisiana State University, will be discussing their book *The Coercive Power of the Law: Vulnerable Bodies and Boundaries of Perception* in a moderated Q&A led by Jordyn Warren Martin. The book, co-authored with Zane McNeill, offers a critical exploration of the interplay between law, care ethics and the bodies, emphasizing how the legal systems reflect societal values and regulate bodies that deviate from normative standards.
