Imagining Reproductive Justice

Session Submission Type: Invited Session (90 minute)

Description

Reproductive Justice is a powerful framework for motivating change in an era characterized by the continuous erosion of reproductive and other rights. The sociological imagination challenges us to transcend the individual to consider how private troubles can be better understood as public issues. This session will bring panelists together to discuss how sociological and transdisciplinary research can work in tandem with reproductive justice to help advance social justice, enhance reproductive health, and protect reproductive rights.
