Session Submission Summary

40451 - Hormones, Biology, and Embodied and Reproductive Justice

Mon, August 11, 10:00 to 11:30am, West Tower, Hyatt Regency Chicago, Floor: Lobby Level/Green, Crystal B

Description

The past several years have witnessed profound social and legal controversies over who can participate as men or women in various organized sports (including in the Olympics); restricted and limited access to hormone replacement and blocker therapies among nonbinary and transgender youth; restricted and limited access to abortion, contraception, and IVF; social inequities and violent conflicts that are shaping bodies and reproductive futures; and a return to biologically-essentialist understandings of sex, gender, and the body. For this session, we invite papers that engage feminist, critical, and intersectional analyses of hormones and biology to contribute to justice-focused scholarship on bodies and reproduction.
