| Course Title: Special Topics in Anthropology: 'Eggs and Embryos: Innovations in Reproductive and Genetic Technologies' |
| Start Date: 09/04/2019 End Date: 12/17/2019 |
| Term: Fall Semester 2019 |
| Description: This seminar will focus on emerging innovations in the development, use and governance of reproductive and genetic technologies (RGTs). How do novel developments at the interface of fertility treatment and biomedical research raise both new and enduring questions about the'naturalness' of procreation, the politics of queer families, the im/possibilities of disabilities, and transnational citizenship? Who has a say in what can be done and for which purposes? We will engage with ethnographic texts, documentaries, policy statements, citizen science activist projects, and social media in order to closely explore the diversity of perspectives in this field. |
