WGST 373 - Reproductive Justice

3 credits Crosslisted With: HONS 373
Students will explore the framework of “reproductive justice” (RJ), which combines “reproductive rights” with “social justice” to address the needs of marginalized groups, particularly women of color, indigenous people, and trans* persons. Students will use a variety of disciplinary lenses (socio-cultural, gender and sexuality, economic, political and legal, scientific and medical) in order to explore such RJ topics as sterilization abuse, population control, domestic violence, incarceration, childcare, poverty, welfare rights, and infant and maternal mortality.
