Hours per week:
- Lecture/Discussion: 3
This interdisciplinary course introduces the history and contemporary politics of the body from a reproductive justice framework as informed by feminist theories, perspectives and activism. We consider how issues of sexuality, gender, race, class, and disability, or experiences of systemic violence and environmental racism affect our degree of reproductive justice. Particular attention is paid to the experiences of systemic violence and environmental racism affect our degree of reproductive justice. Particular attention is paid to the experiences of Indigenous women, and although reference is made to these issues internationally, whenever possible the focus is on a Canadian context.
