WGS 373 - Reproductive Justice

This course engages with intersectional feminist scholarship and activism around issues of fertility and reproductive control, primarily (but not exclusively) in the U.S. Throughout the course, students will explore how reproduction has been subjected to control via the law, medicine, and religious and cultural norms. Students will also examine the disparate impacts of that control on people of various demographics (e.g., gender, race/ethnicity, class, and immigration status). Students regularly will apply historical lessons to the study of current events.
