GSFS 217 - Sexual and Reproductive Justice

Semester Offered: Second Semester
Full Course
Credits: 4 Credits
Attribute: 4SS, CD

This course is an interdisciplinary approach to studying sexual and reproductive politics that draws on sociology, gender and sexuality studies, public health, and public policy. Our key objectives are to identify how racism, classism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia and other forms of social oppression shape the social experience of sexuality and reproduction, as well as to explore how social movements have engaged with these issues. We’ll cover topics including sexual health education, queer and trans inclusion in reproductive justice, sex workers’ rights, the criminalization of pregnancy, access to reproductive health services, and other topics to be determined by student interests.
