Reproduction, Reproductive Rights and Reproductive Discourses in Latin America

Sat, May 28, 8:00 to 9:30am, TBA

Session Submission Type: Panel

Abstract

This panel explores a diverse range of debates about and representations of sexuality and reproduction in various Latin American countries. Panelists draw on a variety of sources including demographic policy reports, films, and oral interviews to examine the attitudes of government officials, artists, and the public toward sex, reproduction, and the place of women and indigenous people in national life. In a discussion facilitated by the panel’s commentator, Ann Zulawski, an historian of medicine, currently working in Puerto Rico and the author of Unequal Cures: Public Health and Political Change in Bolivia, paper presenters will situate discourses on sex and reproduction in a broader Latin American perspective.
