Although Atwood\u2019s narrative is fiction, the realities of forced reproduction and restricted bodily autonomy have long impacted women of color, low-income women, disabled women, and people of diverse gender identities, making this story compelling and profoundly relevant today. The novel\u2019s evolution into a television show and now, an opera reflects its sustained cultural and political resonance. This event, co-hosted by the Detroit Opera and the University of Michigan\u2019s Center for History, Humanities, Arts, Social Sciences, and Ethics in Medicine, will feature a free, moderated discussion about the operatic adaptation of The Handmaid\u2019s Tale. Together, we will explore how artistic representations can stimulate important conversations about reproductive justice, structural power, and the ongoing struggles faced by women and people of marginalized genders. Through centering the role of art in social critique and activism, this event aims to deepen understanding of gender and sexuality in the context of contemporary debates surrounding reproductive rights.", "occurrence_notes":"REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED", "guid":"145187-21896776@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/145187", "building_id":"1005047", "building_name":"Palmer Commons", "campus_maps_id":"188", "room":"Forum Hall", "location_name":"Palmer Commons", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"$0.00 - REGISTRATION REQUIRED", "tags":["Music","Medicine","Nursing","Philosophy","Pre Med","Pre-Health","Psychology","Public Health","Public Policy","Religion","Research","Social Sciences","Sociology","Storytelling","Theme Semester","UMMA","Undergraduate","Visual Arts","Women's Studies","Graduate Students","Anthropology","Art","Basic Science","Biology","Books","Ecology","Education","Environment","Film","African American","History","Humanities","Interdisciplinary","International","Jewish Studies","Law","Life Science","Literature","Media"], "website":"https:\/\/medresearch.umich.edu\/events\/operatic-reimagining-handmaids-tale-gender-power-and-reproductive-justice\/2026-02-25", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Center for History, Humanities, Arts, Social Science and Ethics in Medicine", "group_id":"5429", "website":"https:\/\/medresearch.umich.edu\/labs-departments\/centers\/chhassem" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2026\/02\/event_145187_original-1.jpg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/02\/crop-event_145187_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/02\/crop-event_145187_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/02\/crop-event_145187_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/02\/crop-event_145187_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/02\/crop-event_145187_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2026\/02\/crop-event_145187_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/02\/crop-event_145187_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/02\/crop-event_145187_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2026\/02\/crop-event_145187_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2026\/02\/crop-event_145187_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/02\/crop-event_145187_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2026\/02\/crop-event_145187_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/02\/crop-event_145187_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/02\/crop-event_145187_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/02\/crop-event_145187_original-1.jpg" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21896776 } }
