Our guest, Professor Anna Kirkland, is the Kim Lane Scheppele Collegiate Professor of Women’s and Gender Studies at the University of Michigan. She is a published author with research focusing on the relationship between health and law, health insurance coverage for infertility, and the politics of health. Professor Kirkland holds a JD and a PhD in Jurisprudence and Social Policy.
