Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
The course examines why human reproduction becomes a subject of culturally entrenched gender discrimination, biomedical and state control. The course is grounded in contemporary anthropological debates. It critically examines dimensions as wide ranging as conception, childbirth, infertility, abortion and population control to demographic security. The course interrogates how the 20th century gender bias in global population and reproductive politics continues to reverberate in the 21st century. Previous Medical Anthropology courses are recommended but not prerequisites, as the course welcomes students from a diversity of backgrounds to foster interdisciplinary learning.
