Demographic Anxieties
Tue, August 11, 10:00 to 11:30am, TBASession Submission Type: Paper Session (90 minute)
Description
Public discourse around demographic crises invariably invokes anxieties about sex and gender. This panel invites papers that analyze social responses to declining birthrates, aging populations, migration, and changing household structures. We welcome submissions focusing on gender and sexuality within diverse areas of inquiry, including, but not limited to: How do states respond to perceived demographic crises? How do demographic anxieties influence social policy and visions of national or collective continuity? What forms of inequality and exclusion emerge as a result of these responses? And how do demographic anxieties shape intimate lives, new family forms, and reproductive futures of individuals?
