PS 1396 - REPRODUCTIVE POLITICS

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
This course provides an overview of the cultural, social, and political dynamics that underpin reproductive choices and technologies cross-culturally. Some of the questions that are addressed in the course are: How is reproduction strategized? What are the inequalities of gender and class at play? Which types of technologies are utilized and accessible. What are the configurations and expectations of the family (however defined) and social roles? The course approaches the subject by using a limited number of ethnographic case studies representing the range of "traditional" small-scale and technologically "advanced" large-scale societies.
