Reproductive Justice (RJ) is the human right to maintain bodily autonomy, have children, not have children, and parent the children we have in safe and sustainable communities. This course will draw on the RJ framework to engage students in a public health analysis of historical and contemporary reproductive health issues. Topics will include American gynecological history, the eugenics movement, prenatal care and birthing, contraception, abortion access, adoption, child welfare and state intervention.
This non-credit course meets with the academic course PubH 7200-109 as part of the 2024 Public Health Institute.
Enrollment for this course will open on February 22, 2024.
