Our own Judy Norsigian will be a guest on Internet talk radio show “Saturday Mornings with Joy Keys” this Saturday, March 6 from 11:00-11:30 a.m. EST.

Visit www.blogtalkradio.com/joykeys to listen to the show online, and call (646) 929-0368 to ask questions. You can also go to the site now to sign up to receive a reminder via email or text message.

If you’re in New York this evening, you may want to head over to the Housing Works Bookstore Café (126 Crosby St.) at 7 p.m. for a free panel discussion on “marketing embarrassing products to women.”

While that might not sound like the most appealing way to spend a Monday night, consider these three reasons to attend

Panelist #1: Sarah Haskins created, wrote and performed in the “Target Women” series on Current TV, where she spoofed advertiser’s and marketer’s ridiculous ways of selling women products, entertainment and ideas. She now writes screenplays. Funny ones.

Panelist #2: Susan Kim is a playwright, TV writer and author. She co-wrote “Flow: the Cultural Story of Menstruation” with Elissa Stein, and she has two graphic novels, “City of Spies” and “Brain Camp” (co-written with Laurence Klavan) due out from First Second Books this year. Her plays include the stage adaptation of Amy Tan’s “The Joy Luck Club” and numerous one-acts.

Panelist #3: Allison Silverman launched “The Colbert Report” as co-head writer and later helmed the show as executive producer. She was awarded a Peabody, an Emmy for Outstanding Writing, a Writers Guild Award and three Producers Guild Awards. Her previous writing credits include “Late Night with Conan O’Brien” and “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart,” for which she won a Peabody and an Emmy. Silverman was recently a recipient of New York Women In Film and Television’s Muse Award.

The moderator is Hanna Rosin, co-editor of Slate’s DoubleX and contributing editor at The Atlantic Monthly.

Bonus: 100 percent of the profits at this cultural center go to Housing Works, Inc., which provides housing, healthcare, job training and advocacy for New Yorkers living with HIV/AIDS. Now go with the flow.

For our Wellesley, Mass.-area readers, an upcoming panel discussion on new recommendations for mammography and breast self-examination may be of interest.

Panelists will include Cindy Pearson of the National Women’s Health Network and Ngina Lythcott of the Black Women’s Health Imperative, with moderator Susan Reverby from Wellesley College’s Women and Gender Studies department.

The discussion will take place on Thursday, Feb. 25, in PNW 212 (Pendleton West 212 Amphitheater Classroom) from 5 – 6:15 p.m.

I’m thrilled to be at the annual WAM! conference this weekend — so many great activists, writers, journalists, artists and teachers in one (very cool) space brainstorming, debating and learning from each other.

Yesterday I taught a day-long workshop on blogging (note to participants: hope you alert us all to your new blogs soon!). At this moment, I’m in the back row of the session “New Administration, New World Order: The Top Five Reproductive and Sexual Health and Rights Stories You’ll Want to Track — And How,” featuring Dana Goldstein, Jessica Gonzalez-Rojas, Emily Douglas and my boss, Kiki Zeldes.

Kiki’s talking about the not-quite-inaccurate-but-blatantly-biased condom information available on the CDC website under the Bush administration — the website stressed abstinence and downplayed the safety of condoms. Under the Obama administration, the CDC website has already been updated, and the new message states up front that correct and consistent use of condoms can reduce the risk of sexually transmitted infections. It’s just one example of subtle but important changes that can save lives. (Update: TheCh!ctionary.com captured Kiki’s comments.)

The only problem this afternoon is deciding which sessions to attend. I may duck next door to catch Deanna Zandt and Susan Mernit, who are presenting on social media tools.

This week, Ft. Worth, TX will be home to the Controversies in Childbirth Conference, described as “a national forum for discussing the challenges and solutions for patients, providers, and payers involved in childbirth.”

Topics for the conference are expected include debate on whether low c-section rates are beneficial, financial concerns for health care providers and facilities, whether “natural birth advocates hurt their own cause,” techniques for vaginal breach births, “centering pregnancy” methods, home birth, transparency, whether non-emergency c-sections are contributing to premature birth and attendant complications and NICU costs, and a number of other hot topics.

Let us know in the comments if you plan to attend – I’d love to hear your reports during or after the sessions.

Another “I’d be there if I lived closer” event …

The Women’s Rights Law Reporter, the nation’s first legal journal devoted to gender rights, is holding a free, public symposium exploring the intersections of gender and terrorism on Friday, March 6.

“The Gender Dimensions of Terrorism: How Terrorism Impacts the Lives of Women” will look at how terrorism affects women’s human rights, as well as the ways in which women put their bodies and lives at stake participating in acts of terror.

The symposium takes place at the Rutgers Center for Law and Criminal Justice in Newark, N.J. Panelists include academics, authors and staff from Amnesty International and RAND Corporation. Check here for more information and to register.

And this is cool — looks like the Women’s Rights Law Reporter will soon have its own blog.

Plus: Over at Feminist Law Professors, Bridget Crawford blogged from the symposium “From the Courtroom to the Mother’s Womb: Protecting Women’s Privacy in the Most Important Places,” which took place today and was sponsored by William & Mary Journal of Women and the Law.
