20830 - Reproductive Rights in Flux

Description

In this session, participants whose work spans a range of issues related to reproductive rights and justice will discuss the challenges that people face in an ever-changing social landscape, what they see on the horizon, and their visions for the future. Participant research foci include birth and birthing justice, contraception and abortion, youth contraception and abortion needs, child support policy and carcerality, youth activism among Black and Brown youth, and reproductive justice writ large. Participants will leave this panel discussion with a richer and more nuanced understanding of the broad scope of reproductive rights and justice and the work that sociologists are doing across subfields to contribute to social change.
