This course will examine the politics of pregnancy and reproduction in the United States. Drawing on an interdisciplinary body of literature, we will explore the social, economic, communicative, and political forces that have long shaped women´s reproductive lives, and consider how reproduction is imagined to be constitutive of the nation. Issues to be explored include: definitios of personhood, reprogenetic technologies, queer family formation, abortion and birth control, maternal health and wellness, reproductive politics and dominant media, and movement for reproductive justice.
