While people of all genders can be affected by infertility, public debates often center specifically on women’s bodies and life choices, such as prioritizing career ambitions over motherhood, or being overly “picky” in their search for a partner.
This seminar takes a step back and asks: what is on the line in public conversations about fertility? And how are certain debates and silences surrounding reproduction linked to deeper societal norms about gender, sexuality, race, and social class?
