Institution:

University of Kentucky

Description:

This course takes a cross-cultural approach to understanding how reproduction and associated phenomena (family formations and the social use of technologies) comprise arenas where broader political debates become played out, and social relations become created and contested. Ethnographic case studies include cross-cultural constructions of the body, parenthood, and kinship relations; and we examine how the state, social movements, legal/medical experts, and lay persons struggle to appropriate reproductive potentials for their own needs. Prereq: Graduate standing in Anthropology or consent of instructor.
