The Geography of Reproductive Rights

When: Monday, October 31, 2022, 4:00 PM - 5:15 PM
Where: Online

In this lecture, we will look at reproductive rights through a human geography lens.

What can geography help us to understand about human reproduction and the political/ social/ economic/ technological forces that shape it?

We will consider this question across the spectrum of reproductive rights, from contraception and abortion to technologies for assisted reproduction and gestational surrogacy.

We will draw on work from the sub-disciplines of health geography, feminist geography, and political geography to explore these topics.

This taster lecture will give you a sense of some of the topics you would study in your modules in Geography at QMUL, as well as the kind of research projects carried out by our staff.
