Ashley Aberg, a fourth-year public policy major from Manhattan, spoke at TEDxRochester regarding her research of intersex infants. This is when an individual is born with what’s considered a physical disparity from the norm of sexual development. Aberg’s research is from the perspective of the philosophical and public policy in which we ask questions regarding a scientist’s or doctor’s recommendation to determine the sex of the infant. View Aberg’s presentation at TEDxRochester and look for a profile story about Aberg in the February issue of Athenaeum.
