Reproductive In/Justice: Psychosocial Perspectives in Context
Schools of Public Engagement: BPATS
CRN: 15501
Credits: 3
Reproductive Justice is the human right to have children, not have children, and parent children in safe and sustainable communities. Reproductive Justice is a critical framework - created by twelve women of color in the 1990s - that moved reproductive health rights beyond pro-choice vs pro-life, and focuses on an individual’s right to maintain bodily autonomy over their reproductive capabilities. Over the past 40 years, feminist psychologists have used a reproductive justice framework to understand reproductive rights as it relates to gendered and racialized bodies in both the US and globally. In this course, we will examine Reproductive Justice and other related frameworks such as feminist and critical psychology, intersectionality, health equity, and others. Using such frameworks will help us understand how reproductive justice moves beyond abortion and how people of color, women, men, and gender non-conforming folks in the US and globally are situated in various reproductive contexts.
