Description:

This course emphasizes the social construction of female reproductive processes and how culture and institutions shape our understandings and expectations of such processes. This course introduces topics pertaining to a variety of reproductive practices, experiences and ideologies and explores issues from social reproduction and birth control to menstruation and the construction of fetal personhood in order to shed light on the social and constructed nature of reproductive strategies and practices. We will discuss ideas about womanhood, motherhood, fatherhood, sexuality, eugenics, and reproductive freedom, as well as uncover the historical role and e_ect of the state, medical institutions, and women themselves as they struggle over, and shape such issues. The focus will be on the U.S., but we will also look at cases from other countries in order to examine our assumptions about reproductive practices and strategies. Prerequisite: SOC 101.
