GSFS 217 - Sexual & Reproductive Justice

FC SSCI CD

4 credits
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. Well 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.
