Nancy Ordover Dr. Ordover worked in a variety of settings on legal, welfare, housing, labor, civil rights, immigrant rights, and other policy issues. Currently, she is the Assistant Director of Research and Federal Policy at Gay Men's Health Crisis where she works to expand and protect access to affordable, culturally competent, and quality health care for people living with HIV and AIDS. As part of this work, she is co-coordinator of The Coalition to Lift the Bar. Ordover earned her PhD in Ethnic Studies at the University of California at Berkeley, where she studied with some of the country's foremost scholars of race, politics, and economic policy. In early 2004, she concluded a Rockefeller Residency Fellowship (post-doc) at Columbia University's Program for the Study of Sexuality, Gender, Health, and Human Rights. Her book, American Eugenics: Race, Queer Anatomy, and the Science of Nationalism, focuses on the convergence of medical, judicial, and public policy discourses that left marginalized communities and populations (immigrants, people of color, poor women, gays and lesbians, transgendered people, PLWHAs, people receiving state assistance) vulnerable to eugenics for the better part of the twentieth century and explores the ways in which this legacy continues to inform economic and health care policies. It was published in 2003 by the University of Minnesota to favorable reviews in a number of publications here and abroad, including The Los Angeles Times Book Review, The San Francisco Guardian, Ha'aretz, The American Historical Review, and Gender Forum. It is currently on university syllabi across the country. While still in San Francisco, Ordover served on the collective of the nonprofit Center for Social Research and Education (CSRE), the publisher of SR, a highly regarded, nonsectarian journal concerned with issues of public policy, cultural dissent, and political economy. For several years, Dr. Ordover sat on the Urban Studies faculty at the Queens College Worker Education Extension Center in Manhattan, a program borne of a collaboration between the City University of New York and local labor unions, designed for rank and file union members working toward their BAs and MAs.
